I don’t know where to start here. All my life I’ve gambled. Even since i was a kid I’ve played slots and gambled on anything and everything i could. I know no different. I have never not gambled so i don’t know what it’s like not to gamble and a life without it. Even been on gamstop i would still visit arcades and play slots occasionally play fobts put bets on and you my mates account for online poker. Over 30 years of gambling. 25 days ago now i decided I’d had enough. I haven’t placed a bet. Put even 10p in a slot. No online poker. I still maintain i will play poker in the pub on Saturday night £10 buy in but as far as bookies arcades and online goes they can do one. It’s been a difficult 25 days but I’m determined as hell. I’ve had amazing support from lots of people and now i can’t let them or myself down. I hope i can do this permanently i really do. I didn’t want to make a post like this until i was a few weeks into stopping. Sometimes I’m a bit bored and I’m trying to fill my time up. I’m certainly not anti gambling and i wish i could gamble sensibly and in moderation but i cant. I wish i would of tried to stop years ago now. I’ve no idea if i will succeed and i feel this is one of the biggest challenges in my life. I’m a competitive person. I wont lose. This will not beat me. I will beat it.
massive well done haz it wouldnt of been easy to open up and share with us your journey and with that attitude i believe you will beat it pal start a thread up just for your progress to log it all im starting to question whether i need a break or stop all together myself its got the point where im getting wins after months of losses and not withdrawing it just keep playing and ive only gambled for around 8 years so to see you’ve Gambled all that time and still tackling it is a very inspirational I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST
Thanks mate. I think tbh I’ve done this at a time where i just couldn’t see myself winning anymore. Can’t pick winners for toffee anymore. Slots seem to be getting worse and harder to win. Fobt roulette been reduced to £2. So i thought if there is ever a time it has to be now. As regards to your own gambling I’m always here for advice. I’ll never tell anyone what to do but i will always give a 100% honest answer so if ever need anything just ask.
113rd July 2019 at 7:11 pm #72730Well done Haz, I’m really happy for you I’m in southport at the min with little one and these arcades are a fucker to stay away from I agree. I have had a quick look at the onsite arcade, it has a £5 jackpot king Kong kash fruity! Wish you all the best
Southport wb what’s wrong with cleethorpes ?. Them 10p £5 jackpots can still take £50 off you so be careful.
3rd July 2019 at 8:44 pm #72732cheers haz means alot mate and yeah its become very hard to win with all these rtp chances and millions of players we cant all win unfortunately

If your thinking of giving it one more shot before you do actually quit mate then my advice is to play at Casumo this is what I did and its the only casino I’m up on because when I have a notable win I’ll withdraw a chunk of it ASAP and lock the withdrawal. I’m still around 2k up over there but down on a bunch of other sites (Unibet, videoslots mainly)
If you do decide to quit though I wish you the best of luck mate.

3rd August 2019 at 10:55 am #76124It’s now 56 days since i played a slot gambled online played a fobt or had any form of gambling other than sat night poker. I’m amazed i haven’t found it quite difficult but i know there will be tough times in the future. I haven’t been to poker every Saturday. Infact 4 times in 8 weeks been 90 up 50 up 50 up and 10 down so it would take probably 6 months to give it back. I’ve not been tilted to do anything else so as i stated before i will continue to go. Slots have always been my poison so to go nearly 2 months now I’m very happy with my progress. I do sometimes wonder how our latest additions to gamstop are getting on. Green2271 eight black geezawin and anyone else. I sincerely hope your progress has been productive also.

Keep it up mate. I’m having a hard time of it gambling thoughts wise. But it’s been a fair few weeks since I dropped a 20 Into a machine.
Hope it stays this way.
