And Eightblack you make a valid point. You’re no good to your loved ones if you’re dead.

At the same time though, do you think these kind words help to change your behaviour or do they actually encourage it. Maybe the make no difference either way, in which case kind words are probably the only thing a stranger can offer.

They certainly don’t encourage it, as it happens being told your strong and you can get through it can give you an incentive not to do it again as even if it’s strangers, your proving their positive beliefs in you wrong, which hurts in a different way, even if it is Internet strangers or strangers in a meeting

I do agree with what you say… however you say you understand addiction but dont gamble. I am like you i dont feel i have an addiction i am only in it for the dollars. I have no clue what a gambling addiction is like which is why i tend not to reply on most of the posts. I could never recommend gamban as i wouldn’t use it myself so not really my place to say. Most of the time its others who have been in this position before offering advice, is it helpful? Again i don’t think we are in the position to know, as onlookers seeing people do this may seems ridiculous but is it not the same for any addiction you don’t have?

It’s rather simple really

If a gambler has access to money they’ll gamble!

Back in my worst days I was earning a decent wage every month (Around £1500 but usually overtime etc. stuck on top too), living at home so minimal expenses and I consistently blew the lot – ended up with overdrafts, a bank loan, 12 or so payday loans (yes, really!)

Somehow I had been juggling all that so I was in debt but managing to pay them all off monthly so they didn’t chase me, until one gloomy day where I got paid, decided it would be a fantastic idea to go to Scarborough and blew my pay plus whatever was in the bank by mid afternoon!

So the next day I confessed all to my parents who were understandably mega upset, angry, confused although of course they had an idea I had been up to it all along, they instantly took control of my bank accounts and we started sorting things out, number one priority obviously the payday loans which they paid off on the spot and I would pay them back in the months that followed

That was in 2011, fast forward to today and they can still access all my banking / statements and whatever else but I am in a much better place now, I might have a few hundred quid a month blowout here and there but nothing like back then and ironically I’ve built up a decent savings pot in the meantime as I actually find it ‘hard’ to spend money now! (I can’t describe it!)

Anyway my point is posting on here with a sob story won’t get you far, tell someone you trust and allow them in to help you!  It takes bigger balls to admit it than the balls to gamble £40 tops on Reel King but you’ll be in a much better place afterwards!

I also found GA didn’t work for me personally
