Help. Day 1 here. I’m going to self exclude myself from my regular casinos. I need help reminding myself of how terrible i feel when I gamble. I get up at 5am and go to the casino. It’s still dark, everyone is still sleeping. I’m hiding out. I’ve lost so much money! I’m undergoing cancer treatment and I’ve lost my funds for that. I cant believe I’m in this place right now! I have a beautiful life and I dont want yo ruin it!!

I think the first thing to say is that you need to bar exclude yourself from regular casinos but from all casinos that you could travel to. Gamblers will always try and find a way around blocks.
What is your support like? Have you people around you? Have you spoken to anyone on any help-lines? Have you been in touch with your medic to let them know what is happening?
I feel for you – but I think before I could offer anything I would need to know more about your situation. Perhaps you could get support from the 1-2-1s offered here or from groups. You need to stop as soon as possible and put your money where it is needed – looking after your health issues.
I wish you well.

I got paid today. I’m feeling positive I won’t gamble today. I got sick to my stomach yesterday afternoon at work out of the blue. I think my nerves finally calmed down because I think I finally see some light at the end of this dark tunnel. My profession is a super positive environment, and people love me and look up to me. It’s hard to face my fears and my issues until I see what a positive impact I have on people, yet I am super self destructive to myself. I have a beautiful life and I am lucky to be alive. Why must I keep trying to destroy that? I am grateful for this group because this is that time in the morning where I feel like it’s ok to go gamble my life away. I will not be doing that today because I am going to the gym and i am holding myself accountable right here! Please keep me in your thoughts and reach out to me if you dont see updated from me! One day at a time I can do this.
