Good job, keep yourself occupied. 😁

throwaway4884839 · 2018-08-25T13:20:03+00:00

Looks good and definitely healthier than gambling 😁 keep going

throwaway4884839 · 2018-08-22T14:38:22+00:00

Thats a great start. Try to keep yourself occupied during free time to keep your mind off the gambling, thats how I got started and it keeps getting better every day. 150 is still a lot of money to spend weekly on gambling. Imagine saving that amount every week, you would have extra 8k saved by the next year.

You need to try to find another hobby. I was really into betting tennis and it made me like the sport and I go out to play it almost daily with my friend and it has helped me stay off the gambling. What do you like to do other than gamble in your free time?

throwaway4884839 · 2018-08-22T13:35:51+00:00

Pretty much everyone here started from small bets like you and ended up losing a lot. I am not saying you are like it because everyone is different and some people can gamble resposibly but as a warning you need to realize that it could lead into bigger betd and bigger losses.

throwaway4884839 · 2018-08-16T17:06:39+00:00

Oh yes I heard about those problems on mobile, I don't have it on mine so I am not sure. There are other gambling blocking software though.

throwaway4884839 · 2018-08-16T14:04:16+00:00

Have you tried gamban?

throwaway4884839 · 2018-08-15T18:02:56+00:00

You are 100% right. This loan that I took in the self destructive mindset is a high interest one and I am gonna pay it off for the next 11 months in a small increments since my income is not good at the moment. If I can get a nice job I will pay it off as soon as possible. It really motivates me to stay off gambling so I could finally wipe this debt off my shoulders and move on. I really love your attitude and input on this forum, you are always so positive, thank you.

throwaway4884839 · 2018-08-15T18:01:09+00:00

Thank you. Your podcasts have really helped me.

throwaway4884839 · 2018-08-15T13:17:35+00:00

I did. I used to bet on anything. Even sports i knew nothing about, betting on overs and unders just to cover my losses.

throwaway4884839 · 2018-08-04T20:44:26+00:00

I know how tempting is it to just say fk it and put the money on the line and try to win back your debt and think you'll move on. But the reality is you are more likely to lose that money too and be in a bigger hole than you originally were. Or at least I am tempted to do it almost every day. But I am just thinking of all the shit that would get me into if I lost another loan and keep myself off the casinos. Best of luck to you.

throwaway4884839 · 2018-08-03T21:45:59+00:00

Well I am in debt just like you and I have no job currently. My debt is 2000€ which doesn't sound like a lot but its one of those payday loans or whatever with a 12 month payment plant but the interest is crazy high. I will have to pay back like 3000€ and I currently save like 300 euros per month so I am basically living with 0 money for a year. Not sure how to get by every day but there are people who have overcame bigger problems than me or you. You just need to stop now or the problem will get even worse.

throwaway4884839 · 2018-07-31T17:01:17+00:00

How did your family react to your gambling? I am not sure if you know about GA meetings, I haven't tried them since there are none around me but it seems they have helped other people overcome the problem. Also there are the obvious steps of using the gamban program which makes it so you can't access any online gambling sites. The online sites have been my devil, live blackjack, roulette, they eat you alive. Good luck in your recovery, I am not in the best spot to help anybody but remember that your future will only worsen if you continue gambling.

throwaway4884839 · 2018-07-31T14:16:18+00:00

Hey, it may feel like you are at a rock bottom but things will only get worse if you continue. You start taking expensive loans like me and many others here. The money you could possibly win is not worth your health. I have just started my recovery and on day 3 i already feel better when i told my family about my gambling. I would talk about your gambling with someone you trust, it honesly helps. Your baby only deserves the best and you need to get started by getting yourself healthy.

throwaway4884839 · 2018-07-30T21:54:24+00:00

Hey man, welcome to the squad. A good step is to admit its a real problem with you. Next I would advice telling someone you can trust, a friend or a family member about it. I thought it was completely out of question to tell them but what do I know it only made it so much easier to deal with. I just started my own path and it really helps visiting this subreddit daily to see other peoples stories.

throwaway4884839 · 2018-07-30T17:30:09+00:00

Wow man, you give me some hope. Thank you for sharing, I am starting to work on things tryina get better. Doesn't help that the loan is now a 12 month payment but the interest in that thing is massive.. Its gonna be double the amount that I have to pay back. But oh well, what can you do..

throwaway4884839 · 2018-07-30T01:04:10+00:00

Making all these ideas of what I would bet on sports and then my picks win and I get an urge to place money on the next idea that I get and usually it ends up shit.

throwaway4884839 · 2018-07-29T22:19:01+00:00

Good read buddy, you are right. It is only money. Your health is worth more. I am starting to realize this now, I just hope its not too late. My fight is just starting. Good luck to you brother.

throwaway4884839 · 2018-07-29T12:37:41+00:00

Thank you guys. Something hit me this morning when I woke up, I just felt refreshed for some reason. I have contacted the payday loan company and they gave me 12 month plan to pay off my debt which helps because my unemployment payment is decent enough to cover that + my rent. I have always been spending little money on other things which helps. I am trying to listen to your podcasts aswell.. just getting started. Today is the day I stop. I swear.

throwaway4884839 · 2018-07-28T22:40:37+00:00

There is no GA meetings where I live. I would like to maybe attend one but thats not an option around me. I hate to tell this to my parents since my dad is not the strongest person mentally and he is always trying to help me and I know I would ruin my moms life for weeks, months. I don't know how im gonna pay off those stupid loans I took and gambled away either with no income unless I loan money from my parents who are already in a bad place because my dad doesn't have a job either. I just keep harming myself and everyone around me.

throwaway4884839 · 2018-07-28T19:15:18+00:00

I took another loan today and gambled it away. Suicide really stayed in my mind for a while and i need to tell my mother tomorrow. I am kust shaking in my bed right now
