Well done on your achievement. Over two years ago I had a call from a close relative where he broke down on the phone and told me about his gambling problem. Long story short he joined GA and never looked back , finding not only support from people who had been / still going through something similar as him, and becoming part of the meetings , chairing , helping new people who come along. It’s not an easy path you’re on , so yes take some proudness in what you’ve achieved so far. Really chuffed for you on your 183 + days.Just worked it out that it’s been 183 days since I had a bet. Since then I’ve lost a stone, saved up 7k towards a mortgage, built a gaming PC and focused on it as a hobby and we’ve set a date for the wedding. Just thought I’d update with it being past 6 months! A long long time. Times when I have wanted to but haven’t come close to having a bet of any kind.
it doesn’t solve my other mental problems. I still have had and still have really low, isolated, lonely, depressing days and god knows my fiancé is a saint for understanding. The difference is I don’t distract from it by sitting on bet366 gambling. I feel how I feel and it doesn’t get made worse by a bad bet, or a miss in football that should have been scored. The bad mood doesn’t get amplified by the football events. It should be you put on a bet on, you see if it win or loses, no issue either way. Not how it is in reality as I’m sure many know.
mrs says I should see a doctor but I have so little trust in them from past experiences. Feel very isolated, hated, disliked by many and excluded most of the time. I can’t say I have any real friends apart from my mrs so it can pile on sometimes and goes from 10 to 100mph in how it feels, but it’s not made 10x worse by using gambling as a crutch.
trying to take some sort of proudness or joy in the fact I’m 6 months ‘clean’ from a nasty, nasty habit.

Keep going mate. You have taken a massive step forward. We all have crap days.Thank you everybody! Unfortunately there is no end to it but just an going goal to not cave in. Still tricky sometimes but having the strength to actually dismiss the idea of betting pretty easily. Despite having a really, really low day today as well.
Great stuff that lad.Just worked it out that it’s been 183 days since I had a bet.

Keep it up mate, use your hard earned money on breaks away when this madness around us is over, try concentrate on that ,better hobby going places, all the best make your wife to be proudThank you everybody!

I am getting on, I won't reveal my age, but this has been the worse year of my life, my wife cheated on me & left me, I lost my driving license through trying to help a mate out, my son never contacts me, & Everton can depress me too !!!
My relationship was fourteen years old, still can't get it why she did it after so long !! I took three points for my Courier best mate, as he would have got twelve, it was just as I/we were moving out of the marital home, he said stick the old address on it & they will never find you, well they did eventually, so I got a six months ban for failure to give the correct information in the timescale, plus six points & £1600 fine, which my mate did pay !! Living on my own is/has been tough since March last year !!If your wife cheated it was never meant to be mate even though it probably doesnt feel like it now.
Im happily married but the relationship I was in previous to that was a whirlwind one - thought she was the one at the time as was into her from when we first met at Uni but after a great start we both changed over time, arguments started over little things, both cheated on one another and in general just acting our ages at the time.
Still speak to her occasionally and see her as a mate and we've both moved on and are happy with new partners so keep your chin up.
How did you losPlus e your licence like if you dont mind me asking?
He isn't a mate. That might sound blunt but I would rather be isolated and lonely as I have been for the last couple of years.In fact my work associate said the other day, if I don't wake up one morning it will do me a real favour, I agreed with him, I want to die naturally without pain or suicide !!
Like previously said he’s no mate just a weak guy praying on your unfortunate situation. Things will get better focusing on goals, positives eating right and exercise are of high importance exercise realises the happy endorphins Just a brisk walk every day, talking with a real friend also helps. A Guy in work lost his job redundancy had a car accident and his wife wanted out all in a the space of a year, fast forward a year new job car and has started a new relationship he looks back on it as sad times happen for a reason to make way for better times.My relationship was fourteen years old, still can't get it why she did it after so long !!

Don't agree, I've known him since kids, we always look out for each other, ok, the speeding points cost us, but I am not bitter, I can walk to work or literally roll out of bed for work, I am bitter over a woman who never went short & never contributed to life, then effs off with a fat bald bloke, never can come to terms with that, money & speeding fines/points are nothing, trust is a big thing, I will never trust a woman ever again !!!!!!!Like previously said he’s no mate just a weak guy praying on your unfortunate situation.

IS it your pride she hurt ? You have now "lost" a woman who didn't contribute ,never went short and for some reason prefers another man .The fines are nothing to do with this really are they ?The truth about all failed relationships is the there is none ,every person involved is biased but if a relationship is finished the sooner you are out the better .Don't agree, I've known him since kids, we always look out for each other, ok, the speeding points cost us, but I am not bitter, I can walk to work or literally roll out of bed for work, I am bitter over a woman who never went short & never contributed to life, then effs off with a fat bald bloke, never can come to terms with that, money & speeding fines/points are nothing, trust is a big thing, I will never trust a woman ever again !!!!!!!
