    Well today I yet again let my urges take control and pissed away more money then I really had to spend. I was up and down then up. Then the demons started whispering, not actually but the thoughts that run through my head. You’re up this much you could make it even a bigger win, yeah it never goes the way you way think. In the end I gave what I won and then some. I feel so worthless and weak after I come down from my gambling high. I know I have a problem and I’m a addict. I do want help, I am just new and trying yo find the best place to achieve it. I am tired of feeling like a burden and I want to change. But sometimes it just seems so hard.

    • Lester, right now everything you just wrote could be me, so I emphathize soo much.
      My car insurance and is overdue, if I dont pay by tomorrow I am in dire straits.

      I just keep praying , going to meetings and going to this website for support to overcome the urges I get and NOT act on them.

      I have been able to overcome so many isdues I have put my mind to and this is the most difficult one yet.

      Keep coming on here and any other support group Ga etc. you can.
      We don’t have to be ashamed going to sites like this and the others where people understand our challenges and those who made it to the “otherside” offer encouragement and hope.
      I pray 🙏 for you ,myself and everyone on here that the Grace to overcome these challenges be bestowed upon us.

      Wishing you strength,

      Karen
