I made this thread a few days ago but I had forgot to log in lol, I’m going on gamban for a while now after yesterday

Only you know the best thing to do. Whatever you do we will back you. If you feel like a bash on the slots just have a rant on here instead. ?

Get in there. Great win. ??

Dune’s purpose of been on the forum was solely to stop himself on the fobts. When the laws changed 1st April he didn’t post for 2 weeks. He didn’t need the forum anymore and he used the forum to stop himself playing roulette on fobts. Tbh i don’t think he actually had a major problem with the high stakes on the videos. I think this was more of an excuse to leave. Anyway whatever really.

I think I used all my charm on him when we first got together, he’s sick of me now haha. He’s a good one, I just think he’s supported me through everything and now 10 years later,  he’s had enough of me.

I have a really addictive personality, so I stay away from drugs these days. Eating crap is my way of dealing with these moods, but then again I still can’t eat just 1 chocolate, I eat the full box or bar Haha. I honestly don’t  know how I’m not like a whale with how much I eat.

I’ve been through some right shit times but never had to deal with anything as difficult to beat as gambling. Just thought about it all and it sounds so pathetic. How can gambling be harder to get over than so and so..

How can gambling make you feel like such a shit person? Shit parent, partner, daughter/son, sibling? My daughter just asked if I can take her to a play area today and I’ve had to say no. Stupid mummy spent the money. Now she will have to suffer because of my stupidity.

Sorry if that made no sense, I just had to get it out of my head before I went mad.

It’s not pathetic we’re just human. I know it’s a cliche and we’ve been there but we have. It’s an awful sickening feeling which btw does go away as you know. I know I’ll never stop after 30 plus years. I hope the coming days gets better for you and I’m sure they will. ?

He went at a similar time to mr b and dune. It was mainly about the high stakes he didn’t agree with. I actually enjoyed his controversial posts but never mind. I suppose that’s what happens on a forum people come and go all the time.

I can relate more than most as my gambling addiction has been spiralling out of control lately, literally got paid on the 15th and had around £500 spare after paying bills and I’ve blown through the lot in less than a week, had a slight recovery on Venture which I proceeded to go through (£320) the same day I received it. Ive also been smoking weed like its going out of fashion. So now I’m broke till next month but I’ve got my bills paid and food in the cupboard just nothing left for having fun with. But that’s my doing I can deal with that.

I went through a bad break up over a year ago and that’s when things started to get out of control the more I think about it the more I try to numb myself with marijuana and booze and then almost like I’m trying to punish myself ill go and blow a wad on gambling. Its got to the point now where I’ve alienated myself from my all my friends and  sadly gambling has become my life, when I don’t have money I’m constantly checking for free spins and getting agitated knowing I can’t gamble till next pay day. I’ve also borrowed money off my folks and my brother giving some bullshit reason so I can have another flutter which makes me feel like an utter cunt and then means I have less next month so the cycle of borrowing and paying back continues… I always pay them back mind you but that’s besides the point.

On top of that after the break up last year I was at my actual worst: in a state of deep depression and not caring about life I took out 6k worth of payday  loans and I still haven’t paid them back yet. I’m not in the best place at the moment and really don’t care what happens to me so Ive stopped my DMP plan months ago and have been ignoring the loan companies ever since.

I know the best thing for me is to sign up to gamban but it’s so hard given that my life has been nothing but gambling for the past year. When I’m feeling low its like the rush from a gamble is the only thing that brings me excitement and a bit of joy anymore and I realise how pathetic that sounds.

But I’ve had an addictive personality since I was young it’s always been one thing or another but nothing has come close to the grip gambling has over me.

I hope you manage to conquer your demons and stay strong, brother. I probably wouldn’t have posted this if you hadn’t opened up in this post.

Shit mate you’ve got some balls putting that up. Fair play to you. It’s certainly not pathetic to mention the buzz of gambling. It’s what we live for sometimes. I will say this though gamstop was the best thing i ever did. It took me literally 60 seconds to do it. It’s the relief more than anything. You’d be amazed once the opportunity is taken away the urge decreases massively. You’d think you would go mad not been able to play. It’s not true. I won’t say it’s easy straight away but in no time you don’t even think about it. I came off gamstop and within a week I’m back on it for a year this time. I don’t miss them. Just try and remember what you did when you were single and didn’t play slots. When you get paid instead of playing online get your mates rang up and get yourself out. Good  luck with whatever you decide to do. We’re always here ?
