    I got addicted to slots after a huge win on a cruise ship. Tens of thousands. It was exhilarating. I went back the same night and list $3000 of it and then was sick about it but decided to just let it go. Then Covid hit. Quarantine and online slots did me in. I eventually signed up for every online gambling app in my state. Lose a few thousand then win a few etc etc. I’d put a cool off period in place only to find another app. I have wasted so much time and money and I want to stop but am having a really really hard time. I don’t know where to begin to get help.

      Hi Cruisechic
      Suggest you find some counseling and GA meeting which with Covid19 most likely will be either telephone meetings and Zoom meeting. Also we have a few online GA type meetings at 10 est Monday and Friday. Hope to see you there.

      Try with everything you’ve got to STOP NOW! I have been there with the big win then the subsequent loses. It does not get better; only worse. Cut your losses as soon as you possibly can and stay away from the machines. They will not only suck your money but the life out of you. STOP NOW!

        You’re right it doesn’t get any better. I have lost so much and it makes me sick to my stomach. I wish I can hug everyone that is going thru this thing call addiction and tell them it’s ok. But all I can do pray for anyone who is fighting to quit. God is good. He will see us thru this.
