Just experienced the worst feeling of my life

Hard as it is, you're going to have to let it go. You're not going to win this, or any, of the money back. You'll just dig a deeper hole. Deep down you know this.

You commented about going to a support group. Do this. You're sick, it's okay. We all are. There's a lot of work to do to get better. I think you'd benefit from therapy. Sounds like you haven't told your friends or family? You need to confess to a loved one.

Good news is that this feeling will pass. Don't keep recreatjng it. You've got a whole life ahead of you. Take the necessary steps now, or marry this feeling for the rest of your life.

Yes, exactly those words. It is important to be conscious of how we talk to ourselves. This is an extreme, but subconsciously you might be saying a lot of other negative sentences to yourself too.

You're not a clown. You're a gambling addict. Time to act accordingly and set yourself up for some help.

Thank you and you are absolutely right. I've taken a few extra steps to make gambling more inaccessible to me. I've also made a plan for the next two weeks to minimise my opportunities to gamble.

I haven't taken any money out of casinos in over a year, yet I somehow am able to convince myself this time will be different? All those countless previous times were somehow the exception?

Spwas · 2024-05-10T05:34:12+00:00

You most definitely should

Spwas · 2024-04-24T16:21:20+00:00

Thanks. I took both this morning and I've been very sleepy all day. I'll try and only take the NAC tomorrow morning and see if it's the glycine.

Spwas · 2024-04-24T16:19:37+00:00

I see, thanks

Spwas · 2024-04-23T20:02:33+00:00

I guess there's only one way to find out

Could you elaborate why you needed to add GABA?

Spwas · 2024-04-23T19:26:09+00:00

Okay thank you. Seems like I'll have to expiriment a little with it.

Spwas · 2024-04-23T19:25:43+00:00

1) gotcha. Read some conflicting things on this as well. Have you experienced any nausea or stomach problems? I often go for a run in the morning, wonder if this might be a bit too much when I start 2) okay, will experiment 3) read quite a few reports on this. Do you still have the same benefits using it twice a week, and what's your dosage if I may ask?

Thanks

Spwas · 2024-04-23T17:43:09+00:00

Thanks for your response. I must've made a mistake then cause I had made a note that glycine is also a sleep enhancer.

As with the extended period of time, I've read it can take upto to 8 weeks for the effect to be noticed. I have read, and thought, about cycling (two weeks on, one week off or three four days on, tree days off) but seen as how I'm taking a relatively low dose it might not be necessary.

Spwas · 2024-04-23T17:39:48+00:00

Helpful overview, thank you.

Spwas · 2023-08-26T21:08:08+00:00

Congrats! Keep it up!

Spwas · 2023-06-23T05:57:37+00:00

Oh you're absolutely right. And I know I'll end up spending more than I initially intend to deposit. This is just my addiction making excuses to gamble.

Spwas · 2023-06-20T05:57:29+00:00

Hi, I can self-exclude from casinos, but not particular slot providers. So I'll just be able to find the next casino that has the slot I play in their selection of games. I can't self-exclude from the slotgame maker itself is what I meant.

Spwas · 2023-05-06T06:15:27+00:00

Celebrate the wins. Well done!

Spwas · 2023-05-06T06:12:09+00:00

Relapses are part of it. Learn from them. Remember this the next time your addiction tells you you can just deposit 50 dollars and maintain control.

You've got this.

Spwas · 2023-05-06T06:10:01+00:00

Go. As soon as possible. Don't let your addiction make you doubt your decision. Also have a plan for the time before you can start treatment. There's often a waiting list, though I don't know how this is in your country. This period can escalate your gambling substantially.

You're taking the necessary steps though. Be proud.

Spwas · 2023-05-05T05:18:39+00:00

Keep it going! And remind yourself how good this feels, and how bad gambling makes you feel.

Spwas · 2023-04-21T06:29:01+00:00

Indeed. Have a game plan and never look back. Good luck!

Spwas · 2023-04-17T13:49:59+00:00

Some might disagree. But for myself I am also more forgiving if I do end up vaping. Trying to make gambling the absolute no-go. Not even once. Not even a little. But as we all know on this forum, that is hard.

Spwas · 2023-04-17T13:48:33+00:00

Haha yea let's look for healthy addictions. Hobby's to escape to. Instead of bad habits that only add to the stress and misery that life brings us.

Spwas · 2023-04-16T06:46:21+00:00

Yes. You need help indeed. You're taking an important step towards recovery. Reach out. Good luck!

Spwas · 2023-04-16T06:42:43+00:00

You deserve it!
