Hi thanks for the link I will certainly check it out. I have gamban atm but I ended up having to give them all the gambling sites that weren’t block. Which didn’t help me that much. And now I have managed to uninstall it so I have free way to playing again.
I don’t know if my words well help in any way. I have been gambling too for about 6 years now. And like your son i have auto excluded myself, just started therapy and have passed my finances over to a family member. For me it is early days. I feel it’s impossible to stop gambling even though I read stories about being possible. I owe money to everyone and everywhere it will take me years to pay it all back. I have hurt and lied to my family so many times now that I know I am losing them. I know it’s my fault. My partner doesnt know anything about this. Like your son i have promise my family some many things so many times. It has come to a point where I have spent money for the bills to gamble. It’s such a bad addiction that me for example cannot control disappointing my family. It’s so hard I imagine being addicted to drugs is just the same. The rush, the lying, using money up, the irritating when can’t play. I know I am hurting my family. And I am trying to do all the right moves for recovery but deep down I am not very optimistic about it. I can’t talk for your son nor do I pretend to but having family near is the most important thing for me. He sounds lucky to have a nice supportive mum. It takes time. And a lot of support. I am in this road alone atm. Good luck and letting your son know you are there for him is very helpful even though it doesn’t show. This addiction is the worse thing that has happened in my life. I wish I could turn back time. And no, it isn’t your fault. I started gambling when I went down with depression. Maybe your son has a reason also. I feel identified with your son. And if my sister had to write something about me it probably would be something similar to your post. Never give up.
Hello Jonny
I have just read most of your posts. Congrats on being able to stop gambling and getting your life on track.
I have been gambling for about four years. The thing is I gamble online I have got gamban on my phone and pc but it has leaks so I have found ways of playing.
I haven’t got no groups near me that I could attend.
I would love to stop. What advice could you give me?
Once again well done to you
Thanks in advance.What are the steps to recovery when you have a gambling problem?
What should i do? I have autoexcluded myself from all games but still look for places to play.i have spent money i haven’t got again and will have to give it back in one month time. I can’t turn to my family for help and i can’t get no more loans out to see me through this, i have been to the bank for help too but hasn’t worked.
I really don’t know what to do.
Can someone help me please, some advice…Thanks for answering. i made it to work, thats something.
As for what i am worry for is i have to pay some money back before a certain time very soon. I talked to my family but i don’t want them to give me more money to pay for my addiction but i hope they can help me get one last loan so i can pay back the money i owe now.
I know i have to pay my debts for five years. I don’t mind that being on my back to do so. Its just kills me when i have to use my families money or ask them to help me get a loan.
Once i pay up the last payments i have decided to get rid of my home internet and my computer. It will be boring but i hope to go running instead.
i know i will have bad days… but i am determined.
Thanks.Today is a hard day. I just want to play and have no more money. i am in debt. It will be forever before i will ever be able to save up again.
I can’t go to work today because this is making me so sad and cry. Its hard. Today i think it has finally hit me on how much money i have lost and in the stupid situation i have put myself in.
I hate it so much because i still want to play. Nothing makes me feel as happy asa when i play… shopping, holidays, going out with friends.. nothing.
