i stooped to count how long im gambling free, i begin it to count how long im without money, i stopped to borrow money, so was difficult today to buy cigarettes. To arrive to job im doing 30 minutes with my scooter , around 90 minuts with train , and 15 with bicycle. Still my family leaving with me , im talking just with my son. Im working 3 days in a week , i dont know how many hours, but many , sometimes im sleeping in the office few hours and i begin again. I cannot say i like my job but at least keep my mind busy. I can see the world exactly now got crazy , when im in the biggest trouble. ITs like in Joseph Heller s Catch 22 , the world exactly now to f me, like just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you. In 12 i must to be by the court in Søndenborg, this time the danish debt agency, its for the gouvernment , its not a joke. Of course im not going. After the police can arrest me. Consequence of a gamblers life. I had a lot of undeclared income in the last few years. Money what i gambled. what will be in the future, im looking for a second job. something what can keep me in form mentally. With the law , i dont have any ideea , i hope i can declare again insolvency . But its really difficult to learn to live without money, and daily calls for pay debts. i know its too late to learn from my mistakes . and its difficult to be antisocial , its difficult to socialize, actually i dont want yet. i will finish with this hash. stay away from gambling , the house always win

Hi Eli,

It is a shame you didn’t keep your original thread going. You had all the advice there and the steps that you could take to make your next bet less likely.

Hiding from your problems won’t solve them, in fact it will likely make things worse.

You have a lot of support available to you. If you want to talk to other compulsive gamblers then you can in the groups here, at Gamblers Anonymous zoom meetings, plus many other sites available to you.

Maybe revisit your old thread, look at the steps you didn’t think you needed to take and then start putting the positive things in place. Hopefully see you in a group later.
