Hello community, I have never tried to get in contact with people who go through the same pain like I do and face the same obstacles.
I have been gambling for almost 16 years now (I am 33 years old) and have easily lost 100k Euro on my “journey”. I have tried to stop gambling so many times, achieved to stop 2 years once but all the other times I started playing again after like 2 days to 4 weeks.
My girlfriend is just annoyed as I fail to invest in our future as I loose all my money gambling. I played sports bets most of the time but tried slots, blackjack, roulette and whatever else you can possibly imagine.
After so many years I am finally so tired of gambling and having no money at all that I want to stop gambling forever. I began with self excluding myself on a big amount of bookmakers and casinos, registered myself here, joined an online program which helps problem gamblers, bought Allen Carr book and I just hope that I am strong enough this time.
I am in need of support of people that go through or went through the same things than I did and do and I want to share my journey here.
Today is day 2 of my gambling free life – and it is incredibly hard I have to admit.
If you got any questions or input I’d be thrilled to get in contact with you!
P.s. Excuse my English please, I am not a native speaker 🙂

Cheers
