25 years gambling, lost everything. Still trying to stop 🛑

@HopeFresh I was a phone call away from ending it all.

[Chris @Gambleaddict79]

Update from my world, I haven’t gambled. I usually come back on to say I’ve relapsed. I haven’t..... but I’m keeping focused. Had urges but beaten them. I’m not getting complacent. Going to make sure the next 25years of my life is better. Wasted the first 25.

[Chris @Gambleaddict79]

Still alive, and still gamble free 😊 not sure how long but the longest it’s ever been. I have money, I’m slowly starting to smile again. I’ve heard the ex was having a great time behind my back most the time we were together ☹️ so a lucky escape 😊 happy times ahead hopefully 👌🏻

@frankflynn_55 Just needed to change. I’m 40 this year and it’s been part of my life as long as I know. I’m not a nice person when I gamble. Also, I want to prove to myself and others I can do this! My partner finished with me when I needed her the most. I could not of been In a lower place.

[Chris @Gambleaddict79]

Another couple of good weeks in the bag, no bet on the national, no footy bets and no bets on golf. I’ve even smiled a few times this week. Im gonna be a better me.

[Chris @Gambleaddict79]

@CraigShitpeas I know, kind of wanting everything to be good. You don’t get over 25 years of gambling In 7 weeks. And I’ll probably always been known as a gambler. But can’t wait to say I ain’t gambled for a year 2 years 3 years etc.

[Chris @Gambleaddict79]

So I’m around 7 weeks gamble free now. Have no interest in it. Getting to the gym, losing weight. Still struggling coming to terms with my misses leaving me! Wish I could of showed her the real me, gamble free. The nice person I could be. Hate myself for that. 😔

[Chris @Gambleaddict79]

@FellowshipBear Cheers, I’m just focusing on never going back to the dark side. (Gambling) time will tell about the rest I guess. But I know I’ll be a happier person with gambling.

[Chris @Gambleaddict79]

@Weknowyoudied Not this time she won’t. I’ve done and said to much. Just need to find my happy place now and never go back to the gambling.

[Chris @Gambleaddict79]

@Joel66898745 Hope so pal.

[Chris @Gambleaddict79]

Another 9 days to add on gamble free. Still not at ease with myself but getting there slowly. Loads on my mind but gambling isn’t one of them right now. I’ll win this battle and become the guy I should of been years ago! 1daat.

[Chris @Gambleaddict79]

Still struggling but still winning the battle. Not a great weekend but didn’t gamble. Sent silly messages out drunk which made me feel bad in the morning and give me urge to gamble but never. Went for a long walk instead. This does get easier right? ☺️1daat

[Chris @Gambleaddict79]

Been a very hard week... with the relationship falling apart it’s been so hard not to turn back to gambling. Sleep pattern a mess, running all my mistakes through my head. Waking up sweating. 😌 but I didn’t gamble and won’t gamble. #1daat I’ll smile again.

[Chris @Gambleaddict79]

@Hannah_GA This is the only place to find any light on a shit situation. So many people have been through the same it’s unreal. It’s a great place to turn. Good luck in your recovery Hannah. 😊 I’ll be following. 1daat

[Chris @Gambleaddict79]
