Im not saying 27 days is anything crazy but for me it is, I have failed to quit countless times after only a few days. My last gambling session was my worst one yet, I lost $25k in one session, more than I can afford and more than I ever lost in one session, not even close.
I realized this disease has progressed beyond what I ever thought was possible, keep in mind I started with $50 deposits and $100 monthly deposit limit. This addiction gets WORSE AND WORSE. If you are in this addiction right now, do not think that it wont get worse, it gets worse than you can ever imagine, you need to take action right now, stop with the fucking excuses I was like you, and again im only 27 days not like im anything special but this time feels different for me, im so over that shit I wont come back.
So what did I do different this time to make it 27 days? Alot actually. Zero gambling in ANY form – I dont watch gambling, I dont watch streamers, youtubers, videos, if I see an ad I look away, I try to not think about gambling at all, whenever my mind makes mental bets I tell it to stop, I self excluded from every casino I could, I moved my money to a savings account in a different bank it takes days to get it out, the remaining crypto I had I staked it which means I cant access it, my online discord friends who kept linking me bets I blocked them all, I left all the discord servers they are not real friends.
After probably over 100 failed attempts to quit I am taking this extremly serious this time, sorry for long post stay strong folks

Good job man! I relapsed a couple days ago after a 25 day streak which is probably one of my longest streaks.
Don’t ever let your guard down or too comfortable. I felt so good at day 25 and late night I got a stupid email from an online casino that an old self exclusion period had ended and I fell for the fucken trap.
Back on track now though and that was just a lesson in my journey to being gamble free for life. Do you have any debt?
Let’s keep our numbers getting higher mate. Well done.
I’m on 9 days today, I relapsed after a 28 day streak. This relapse was because I owed someone and instead of confessing I was then triggered and gambled the little money that was in my banking account. Today I’m planning to do exactly what I was afraid to do 9 days ago. I’m risking loosing my whole family as owe a family member. I’ve already lost almost all my extended family, now I risk loosing my immediate family. But if that’s what it takes to finally get rid of this illness I’m doing it.
Congrats, and thanks for the post. I’m worried about how bad things could get if I don’t stop. While I’m still okay financially overall, I’ve started losing amounts that make me uncomfortable. I really hope I can stop because I don’t want things to get worse. I always start off slow and patient, but it eventually turns into degeneracy and chasing a bigger high, or making larger bets to recover losses faster.
Keep up the great work.
