    Ever since I was able to make my first bet in the casino I’ve been addicted. Non addictive people who lose $20-$50 want to shoot themselves while I’m over here loosing $1000s and still going,fighting to get it back. I know that’s the biggest mistake but I can’t help it. That quick hit to get out of debt sounds too good, while I’m only digging the hole deeper.

    • Good evening – please contact the Gamblers Anonymous hotline and plug in to a local GA group. I try to attend as many meetings a week as I can, which is also stated in the yellow GA book. Also most GA groups have a phone list, so before you act on the urge to gamble, you can call someone who I just like us that has been there. I pray for your abstinence, and remember one day at a time.

    • Key thing to remember Angel when you are having those thoughts is that ” There is never a big enough win for a Compulsive Gambler.
      Take Reda’s advice and see if you can find a GA group/meeting and some counseling.
      God Bless
