It’s so hard to quit gambling for good. I’m meeting with a counselor through work. I’m always irritated after gambling, and the worst part is I hide it from family and friends. I told one friend I had a gambling problem and they didn’t believe me. I’m in so much debt (I’m working on it, light at the end of the tunnel); I tell myself the casino is such an evil place but I still go back. The longest I’be quit is 23 days, but I went tonight and I’m so upset. I lost money I didn’t budget for. Anyway, thanks for reading.

  As long as you are hiding something, it will be a trigger. We must be free of fear, resentment, and be honest and be of service. I was hopeless, since I started doing that, I have 3+ years of being clean. Urges have left, but I know the moment I stop going to meetings to look for other gamblers to help, I will be right back in the misery.
