    I can stop for weeks if I don’t have any money, but once I do have money.. a few hours.. MAYBE days

    I know I need to stop, but if I do then what ? If I gamble there’s a slim chance I might win big and be able to life comfortably. Without gambling I accept a normal life working a sh*t job and struggling month to month like everyone else. I don’t want that. The hope of winning big is all I have.

    I was so close to withdrawing and just going to sleep but I just couldn’t stop.. I was over £400 up.. I was £500 up the week before but it’s never enough…

    I’ve done it again now I’ve not gone into work and I’m probably going to lose my job

    I did it again. 1:36am and all my wages are gone. I gave my mum some which is great and everything but despite being able to walk away with over £400 profit I kept going until there was nothing.

    I can’t stop.

    I emailed her fair asking for a bonus and got £50 so had a gamble and lost it. Technically I haven’t lost anything but I still have he same feeling as I would if it were my money. I’m counting down until Friday when I’ll have money.. if I can just give my mum £100 or buy something before I gamble then I’ll be ok no matter the out come. I just don’t want to lose it all at like 1am as soon as I’m paid.

    But if I give up control of my money, I’m not really beating the problem because eventually when I get the money I’ll probably lose it..
    My plan isn’t to live gamble-free, I’ve accepted I’ll always gamble, I just want to do it in moderation like normal people. Maybe just £10 on a machine or the lotto every week.

    I just want to stop doing it compulsivly because that’s how I play now, all or nothing and it usually needs to nothing. 9 times out of 10 I actually win a lot I just want to learn to walk away.

    I don’t even bother say to anyone I’ll stop because I know I won’t ever stop I just want to be able to control it and if I gave my money to my mum I’d feel more pathetic and like even less of a man having to ask for my own money like a child.. maybe that’s what I’ll have to do though :/
