Good read pal, glad you are on the mend, I enjoy posts like this on this forum….not because of the morbidness of course but it exposes people to the reality of how different people deal with being down in the dumps due to gambling addiction and not that we need it but its a good warning to others. Sorry to read you have crohns but dont get hung up on the causes just move forwards with your life now and drop the past and use the pain as a motivator to succeed in what you want in life.

 

I like you have also ruined most of my family relationships, stole lots from parents and took out numerous loans etc. Its not rational of course but when you are in the hole and have no where else to crawl you dont think about consequences, I havent gambled since about December 2017 also yet I dont really get an urge to gamble but I enjoy the actual “games” and being someone into computers and programming I take interest in new releases and games mechanics but thats just my nerdy side. I still watch streams but to be honest I would rather I didnt, short videos like bandits are best.

 

Thanks for sharing what must be difficult words to type but its good that there are people who frequently put emphasis on the destruction of gambling. I wont say to people dont gamble as most people I know who do have a flutter have it under control (but they are still massively down, especially those my parents age who have probably lost 6 figures in a lifetime that could have bought a house) but you just need to be vigilant. When I started I wasnt greedy and would regularly make £300-500 on slots each week playing at like £1.50-2 spins and I did that for months and rarely had a bad week as I would always cashout when in a reasonable bit of profit but after a while the stakes increased and the greediness kicked in where before I would withdraw what I deposited to cover losses I stopped giving a shit and just went wild, thats when you stop.

I’m so pleased you’re on the mend, and have got your son and ex back in your life. It’s good to have people to talk to, especially when you’re feeling like that.

All the best and keep up the good work 🙂

Wow what a read. Glad your back on  track. Even more glad that there isn’t going to be a part 3 when you explain how you prostituted yourself to pay your son back ?

Hi buddy, seen your post and i was thinking about you last night. I know you have done the right think, and to be honest i bet a weight has come off your shoulders. I can only imagine on how upset your wife is and i do hope with time it mends itself. Remember yesterday is the past and you can’t change the past, you can influence the future. Good luck and do let me know how it all goes.

So happy for you – don’t even look at a slot, a bookies or touch anything to do with gambling.  Apart from your wife just take a look at your 3 daughters and imagine what it would be like visiting them every Sunday, and sitting in a bedsit the other 6 days.

Just bear in mind your wife is still going to give you a hard time occasionally and let it go, she has earned that right.   You now need to repay her for standing by you when you have let her down.   That’s not a criticism, just a statement of fact which I am sure you have faced up to

I do taxi driver as the pin numbers for my logins do can check what I have earned so she will take over that as well

Just make sure you hand over your tips or you she will automatically assume you are gambling with them.  It’s they way their mind works – even when women say they trust you they don’t trust you.    Hell, I wouldn’t trust me 🙂
