Look you all obviously think I’m still after something but I’m not! Secondly the money bandit gave to me was handed over to my girlfriend at the time as this all came about as I’d gambled the money I loaned to pay for the cruise. My girlfriend left me not long after this, so unfortunately that money has gone and I genuinely believed I was doing the right thing. Sorry for angering anyone. That was not my intention.
I’m not after anything else. I was simply giving an update. Just thought it may help some people that were in a similar situation that things don’t change overnight and they take a hell of a lot of time and determination from within. Sorry to think I maybe able to talk with like minded people. Obviously not the case.
Hi quick update, still gamble free so that’s something right?! To answer your concern whoswho my parents are anti gambling and have been their whole lives. My gambling was always hidden from them. Sorry if you don’t believe what I’m saying but unfortunately I can’t prove this is the case. The longer this carries on the longer I’m starting to feel like saying fuck this, what’s the point! I don’t think I can stay living in this situation for another 2-3 months. I don’t know what to do next.
Hi everyone this is my first update in a long time, sorry but I’ve had a bit of a bumpy ride. STILL NOT GAMBLING THOUGH ! ! I’ve been trying to get on my feet as me and my partner split and I have been homeless for 2 months, living in my car as family members turned there back on me, once they heard about my gambling problem. The kind gesture that bandit gave to me paid for the cruise, so that my partner could go and the relationship ended with me not feeling a complete bastard. So thanks again Bandit.
So where am I now? Well I’m staying in my car for the meantime but hopefully not to much longer, as I’m currently saving so that I can get my own place, it’s difficult as deposits and kitting a home out is not easy, but I put myself here, so I have to get myself out of here.
I am also still attending GA once a week and haven’t missed a session, which is good. It has been super difficult stopping gambling altogether but I’ve got to be strong by keep walking forward and not looking back. Sorry I have only just managed to update this but as you could imagine I’ve felt a bit sorry for myself recently and haven’t wanted to discuss what’s been happening. Every cloud and all that. Thanks again.
Just an update for the Bandit and everyone, I will be attending gambling meetings from next week onwards. I’m also banned from all online betting sites and I’ve self excluded from all of the bookies where I live. The bandit has given me an amazing lifeline and I will forever be grateful to him and iam 100% gonna do everything in my power to not gamble ever again. The missus has also asked me to thank the bandit and everyone who has sent their messages of support. She has promised me she is going to help me through this, so a big thank you to her. Thanks again guys. I will keep you updated.
8The Mrs will come round mate but just be 100% honest with her. I lost my first marriage due to lying to her – she gave me the oppurtunity to come clean and I witheld a few things which came back and bit me in the arse. I came back from afghan and she had changed the locks on the house. Couldnt blame her really. We still speak now but it was 100% my fault. Its hard when the shit hits the fan but you have to 100% down the line with her.
If you need some space I am not sure where you are based but always a spare room at mine if you need to get away for a couple of days. Mrs W is not the best cook in the world and my staffy will probably lick you to death but offer is there if you need it.
The fact she is letting you round and speaking to you is a good sign.
If you need to chat just drop me an email [email protected]
I will be up all night as on call with work and the dog hates fireworks so dont worry about the time!
Thanks Andy you sound like you have been through it yourself mate. Thank you so much for the offer of a roof over my head as well you are a star. I’ll copy your email and keep you updated. Thanks again mate and happy new year. I have 100% stopped the gambling and lying. I need to talk about it with people who understand as its an illness and not something we just choose.
Thanks mate. I really appreciate it. Wish me luck I’m off to meet the missus and explain everything. Hopefully this weight will lift.
1Thanks everyone. The missus has allowed me round the house tonight.Small steps. Happy New year everyone especially to the bandit.
1Yidfather, thankyou for donating to the gofundme. I know your having a shit time at the moment and to make a donation at a time like this shows the type of person you are. Thanks mate.
Thanks Andy. I appreciate it mate, but I wouldn’t of been in a position to do it if it wasn’t for the bandit. Cheers fellas
I just feel like I’m floating about at the minute in a daze. The bandit is an absolute legend and I really can’t thank him enough. The only way I think is to never gamble again and that is what I’m going to do. Happy New year
2Wow. What a thing to do. Now you have had a touch there Yid. Use the money to steady your ship and get your head together
It shows even in your darkest hour at the point where u feel like no way out. The next hour or day can make a bit difference. Anyone who’s struggling remember..
Things can change for the better
I cannot believe it. I’m still shaking. I couldn’t see any good then this happened. Thank you everyone and massive thanks to the bandit. Next year will be a good year without gambling in my life. Apart from your vids mate.
21Seriously you’ve made a man cry and I’m not lying. I really don’t know what to say. I’m speechless. You are such a good guy and I can’t thank you enough. Oh my god
You really don’t have to do that mate it’s ok. I didn’t message on here because I wanted any hand outs or anything mate. I just wanted people to know that this is how bad things can get. I love the videos and everything you stand for mate.
Thanks for the message mate. I really appreciate that you are there for a chat and I’m sorry to hear you are struggling too. It’s a bloody nightmare. Just hope it ends soon.
No it’s fine your not being intrusive, it was just over 6 grand, it’s so much more then I Could afford to lose. It got me and I was so adamant I was going to get it and win big that I lost all sense of, well pretty much everything. I am in the UK mate.
