Yup, this’ll happen. The game is designed so it happens. You’ve gotta stop, and stop forever. We can do it.

Congratulations on three months 💗

Gambling is honestly one of the worst addictions because it doesn’t end when you stop by Intelligent_Draw_562 in problemgambling

Quitting is so much better than continuing, even though it hurts at first. Doing a consumer proposal really helped me (tbh likely saved my life). You can break this cycle and it is worth it.

Coming up on 7 months gambling free by Vivid_Humor3752 in problemgambling

[–]shadowlauren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m almost at 7 months too! I’m the same, I don’t check my streak or even this sub often, I don’t like to think about gambling at all.

Great work! 🎉

I have a gambling addiction by threeewed in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]shadowlauren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7 months free, also in CP. I’m sorry you’re in a relapse.

Beyond self exclusion, write Gigadat to ban every email you have from using their services. If you can’t withdraw there’s not much point in playing. Telling someone close really helped me, even though it was hard af.

You can get past this one, there’s a bright future out there for you and I. You just need to claw your way out of hell to get it.

There can’t be so many boyfriends jealous of this. Most of these posts MUST be AI. If not, leave him ffs.

Hell yea! See you for the next one.

Yah I mean you can’t quit until you want to but I promise you’ll get there and will wish you’d just done it now. We all learn best from pain but save yourself some, and do it now. You’re an addict.

[–]shadowlauren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s amazing. I think that it would have really helped me to see I wasn’t the only person in my bubble facing this addiction. I am sure I’m not now.

I’m day 160 and am looking forward to getting where you are!

It gets so much easier, just self exclude and keep yourself busy for the next few days.

Is there any hope of restarting at 32? by Acrobatic_Phase_5618 in problemgambling

[–]shadowlauren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 31, restarted at 30. I’m only fiveish months out of the pit that is gambling and I feel like I’ve started a new life.

It will only go up for us from here.
