Because at some point if you want completely to quit you have to stop coming here and find new hobby. All those videos, streams, big wins threads etc.. Doing no good. Maybe after the venom is extracted completely stop by saying still haven't gambled etc. I know what you are saying to a certain extent, but Antonin comes on here for the support. I believe we have helped him. If he was left to his own devices with no support I think it would only end up one way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonin Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) For god sake, please @CherryPi, don't start again!!! Non-gamblers can't understand this addiction ... Gamblers do!!

It's prolonging his torture by making it more sweeter. Point is, just like I said numeerroous times, support in terms of well done, keep it up does not help specially when it comes from gambling addicts. Need actions preventing the core. Give fish to hungry man, it will be no hungry for a day, teach him to catch fish, feeds him lifetime. This is exactly the case here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, he has to ultimately be the one who kicks the habit and be responsible for his own actions. Only he can do this and he is fully aware of this, but we can be supportive in that journey whether it be successful or not. Sometimes it's just a matter of being there for someone when they need help. Surely you must understand that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And fact is been 1 year. we share different points of view. I don't want somebody next to me with one hand on my back saying there, there, it will be all right. Maybe once or twice.. I want somebody next to me with plan, Strategy, action, ideas, solution even if its wrong to prevent this happening. okay we do this and that, here what was wrong we will try to fix this etc. Edited March 18, 2019 by CherryPi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solario333 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) To each of us , like wild flowers in a field ,there comes a solution....sometimes the solution comes easy ,and sometimes it does not.... Gamblers will always gamble and take risks , its in their nature....what we seek to do is to open up a broader perspective that allows them to gamble differently . Some will gamble by raising a family and commit all their money and energy to this endeavour. Some single out profit making business ventures, or sporting challenges....and some continue to fail in finding purpose to meet the challenge of risk. @david1111 is right when he intends to allow time for people to find the path. @CherryPi is also right when calling time on the event because it looks like an individual is wallowing in unnecessary support. However it is a personal choice how you approach the healing pathway , and for some the short sharp shock does work , and for others it does not . So we must stand together meeting all challenges and supporting the long path and the short path , because all wild flowers are different !!

david1111 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Excellent response as ever from solario. As he says everyone needs different levels of support so who am I to turn my back on someone who asks for help just because a certain time has elapsed. I also believe that an addiction is never cured. You just learn to live with an improved mindset and use different ways to surpress the inevitable urges 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody is different and we all have our own methods to curb or even stop the gambling but as I have read on here so often it can take something really small like a bad day at work or a family trauma and all that good work goes down the drain.

Never goes away, as I said, it's just surpressed Merson’s problems are due to his addictive personality which a lot of people have. Wether it’s drink, drugs or gambling it will always be a battle. Unfortunately for him they are all a problem and one often leads to another. One of my footballing hero’s...Niall Quinn wrote in his autobiography about the drinking and gambling culture at Arsenal in his playing days. All night sessions and going into training still pissed from the night before. It won’t have been unique to Arsenal either. They didn’t talk about it then because it wasn’t seen as a problem because it was commonplace and men don’t complain! £7,000,000 was a figure I had heard Merson had lost. Makes you wonder what our own win/loss figures would be over our lifetime. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
