How are you going Andy ? Still kept it together ?

Stay strong ♡

are u still suicidal

You came to my secondary school last year (Derbyshire), and I just remembered it now. I've been there for six long years, been through many enrichment days and they've still never had anything as interesting, thought provoking and real as you presenting your story to us. It was definitely an emotional one, but a really important message presented in a really captivating way. It's great to see that you're doing so well now, man. 👍

You’re so brave for posting this. I hope you’re alright.

That was so good I watched that again, I start my first GA tonight. Hope I can do my family proud

i used to love getting win spins on roulette now i love getting sales on ebay cha ching.

you are an inspiration

Hi Andy. Could you please advise on my dad's gambling addiction? He has been addicted for many years. Everyone tries to talk to him about the negative impact of gambling, but nothing works. I think the main reason is that he has not recognised that he should stop it. Do you have any way to make him have that powerful thought to immediately do something positively. Thanks

Thank you 🙏

Most of the gambling addicts that watched this hit the dislike button

You look really well man. Keep it going.

Well done freind.

It was exactly the same with me starting gambling, for which till my dad and his building site workers were the instigators sadly, I heard you mention grand national can remember in the pub as a young boy them mentioning raffle tickets for grand national, I didn't even know what it was wasn't interested, and would never probably had been without them taking me to bookies and sending me to put bets on, anyway as most will know it destroyed my life most of the time, and lost my daughters near enough hardly want to know me and lost most of my chances with grandkids, only time I really stopped was when my ex took over my money and took me off joint account so couldn't get at my pay for a few years, the other time was I went abroad so I'd stop gambling was in Holland for 3 years was amazing being a normal person doing normal things at weekend with freinds and thousands in the bank, I still looked after my family sending money home each week, there was bookies in Holland but not everywhere like here, we're i worked was a small town they were only in cities and even then because I couldn't read the papers or understand what was being said in Dutch bookies, so was never interested, sadly after a while I missed my kids too much and went back, and gambled soon as I got back there's much more stories than this over the years as most of you will know, all I've bet on is the horses but as we know there bent as fk youv got no chance, i wouldn't wish a life of gambling on anyone it's certainly the vice that costs you the most, thankfully somehow not sure how I've finally given it up with help of lockdowns, but it's not just the lockdowns that did it because as you know you can open an account and bet over the phone, but I've never bothered with that sht, it's seeing the thousands in my bank account has helped and always having plenty of money has hit home and I'm never going in those havens of misery again, the bookmakers that are so sad looking back.

Quit gambling Regards 🇵🇪👍😀

Respect mate, going through it at the mo especially with lockdown booze and boredom plus single live no kids etc it's it's to easy these days what with online banking at you can use your mobile phone as payment, There should be some sort of credit check done to say yep your limit is .... Like credit cards

Hi ,I've just set up a channel ..today is day 1 no gambling for me ..feel free to follow my story

Brother, that is a heart-felt story. I wish you continued success. A real man knows when the challenge is too strong and he can't do it on his own. Be strong and wise. I am cheering you on!! -Rob, Castro Valley, California

Gambling is very addictive in some people , I myself have gambled far too much , over many years of my life. I have watched all the videos , for me people like myself lose all sense of reality and have no value on money and the consequences of gambling to much. I’m an intelligent person , I know my chances of winning are slim to none , that doesn’t stop a problem gambler. Andy starts of as we all do , there’s a level of enjoyment at first , harmless fun you might say. This for most people is fine , unfortunately it can be the start of a truly slippery slope. It’s a silent killer , you become a loner because you can’t share the problem , you lie, your anxious , it can be all consuming. I site some of my excuses as boredom , needing a buzz , I don’t drink or smoke, as I have said , if I didn’t gamble I would have thousands in the bank after a year . Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be any comfort , you just need a gamble. Gambling is even easier now since online , at least the betting shops close for the night. Britain needs a wake up call because this is an illness , this will get worse!

Hi Andy, saw you in that interview on the Round Table with David Foster. I lost a lot of money with a casino and deposited another 1000 and won 50.000. I sent the vip manager an email that i wanted to lock my account till my winnings were paid out and she didn’t do that. Instead they bombarded me with bonuses and I lost everything. The reason I asked her to block my balance is because I was afraid this would happen. It is really predatory of the online casino to do this. I wasn’t even thinking about winning but just playing and playing mindlessly not eating or thinking about anything else. Its truly a disease. I’ve contacted the MGA about this matter and they are looking into it. All I wanted was my money and stop gambling completely by blocking all sites. But the casino thought otherwise.

I also love too gamble but had most off my troubles when i was young . No controle when i was younger . Now a days i need too save atleast half the money that i want too gamble so when i got 50€ i need too put 25€ in my piggybank and it cant be used for gambling . My luck is that my wife is taking care off all the money and i just got 50€ a month . So now atleast i save 300 € a year . And i can still gamble . But yeah its really a rough sickness i had my mental hardships , i really really hated myself when i was young . Good job off staying compleetly clean !!! Deep respect for coming out .

I've use gamstop before it got too out of hand online ...use to play fobt all the time put all the hurdles in place to make sure I don't go in those places again

Hi mate just come across your videos very interesting and inspiring mate ...I do gamble still but no where here to the amount I use to ..

Your never the same man before or after giving up gambling but you are alive well sort of ?

Happy 4 u pal.... I'm on gamstop at the moment I can control my gambling for months then have a blow out on online poker mainly, love having a flutter and hopefully I can stop the blow outs and just maintain the odd bet now again in the bookies...

Stay strong mate you can beat it

When are we going to see more lives

Congratulations

Please don't gamble again

I hope you're OK

How you andy still going strong? Are you going to do anymore vids?? 💪👍

I did not understand you at all

Well how did I come across this video? I’m not a addict but could easily become one ! It’s good to hear from someone that has this experience. The urge and temptations are to great. I believe we all have an addictive trait and some of us use it to our demise, by focusing that trait on positive activities it enables us to beat the negativity of addict, such an inspiration video, one which will help a lot of people well done mate 👍🏾

What's your opinion on the FOBT machines matey ????

I have to admit I'm a gambling-betting addict. Usually I gamble away my salary within 3-5 days. The same thing happened this Monday. I was up 7300 euros in three days and then I lost it on Monday night on the Werder game and then in a panicky manner on tennis match when I bet 3000 euros on an underdog who lost in a third set in tie break by two points which made the loss even more painful. I keep going back to that game in my mind and on flashscore. I work as a live-in carer so I don't have expenses like rent or bills but I'm down to 30 pounds until my next salary on the 15th next month so basically I would be homeless if I had any other job. Actually I dread the salary date as my mind will consolidate by then and the pattern will kick in. I will be watching your videos to gather mental strength to resist.

I'm 39 now gambled since 16 , lost in excess of a million , no love for myself for since I know , hugely in debt , depressed , wife and four kids that I'll probably end up losing , been to g.a, hypnotists , psychologist, and still I'm struggling , the money is bad but as we all know it's the lies and deception that's worst and self hate . I'm in debt and scared sick but what can I do . Still see your pain after 9 years of , stoked for you for getting it in control though

My name is Kuroosh I am compulsive gambler.God is with us
