My thoughts right now ! Good and bad

Postby exgambler46 » Sun Nov 06, 2016 2:54 am

I already quitted gambling I was tired of losing and I was tired of winning.
I'm sorry to say this but I was also sick of fellow gamblers and my gambling friends telling of their stories and rollercoaster moments.


I've thought about my past and even when I controlled the gambling won 3000$ and excluded myself for 6 months I would look to another site to deposit.
These casino's made me lose real big because a withdrawal took ages and we gamblers are impatient.

It is one of the most annoying thing that after a big win (if you even win) an online casino asks so much $^%&%& information because of their so called ''safety requirements'' like gambling itself is safe !! They even asked me to provide information about the education I had and wich schools I went to with proof of enrollment. We even talk about the EU approved Malta bs casino's.

I really hate casino's and even the people who work there!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the other hand I already quitted. Told everyone about my gambling relapse and now enjoy spending time with friends. I'm so tired of gambling I recorded my last emotions of my losses as a reminder. Couldn't sleep for almost 3 days after losing every penny. I got so Ill I couldn't go to work today.
The most warm gesture I had today is a friend called me and asked me how I was.
I told him I couldn''t work and I had money problems. He gave me the money I was going to earn and said ''If you feel better also have some beers on my costs. There is more than beeping machines .... enjoy life''

It made me feel so good. Way better than the deceitfull gambling atmosphere.
Drinking some warm soup at a GA meeting is a nice thought .

Let's cure ourselves and eachother

I wish everyone a gamble free week and enjoy life !!

Well done exgambler 46 !

We go though a lot of different thoughts and feelings when we stop gambling - Sadness , anger , regret , depression - all of these feelings will begin to fade as you get farther along in your recovery . I an glad your friend did such a nice thing for you .

It is important to make ourselves a new life , a life without gambling in it . Think back to the way you were before you ever gambled - you can live that way again . Some of your friendships will end because they are still gambling . That's OK . You have to protect your recovery and if it means that you have to stay away from people who make you think about gambling , then that is what is best for you now .

Stay strong an enjoy your soup and GA meeting . Both of those things are much better than losing all your money gambling !
