    I relapsed again and again and again. As if the last visit was not bad enough. Why do I keep doing this to myself?

    • I always say the same thing to myself 🙁 Why do I keep going back when I know It’s going to end badly (every single time) I hate online gambling so much. It makes gambling for addicts too accessible. I wish you the best with your recovery.

        30 years of this. If I saved the money all the money I gamble, I would have had a house and a much better life. Instead I have a pile of debt. If I didn’t gamble most weekends, I would have had time for family and friends. I don’t even have best friend, just gambling friends. The life of lies is wearing me down. And the worst li of them all is the lie I tell myself. That I can handle this and it will better next time I go to the casino. It never gets better, just worst. Good luck on your recovery as well. Thanks for the support.

        • I did the same, relapsed last night with my rent money. And I was up, but for some reason, I don’t walk away. I kept playing watching the machine turn colder and colder. I self excluded today. And joined this site. I am fed up with sabotaging my life.

          I am here if you need to talk. Please reach out. Not sure how this site works, but I am here for anyone that needs a friend or support, or just somebody to vent/talk to.
          Peace.

          • A New Day, it was 8 months ago when you replied and yet I managed to still continue gambling. I fell numb right now, just gamble my whole paycheck and Christmas bonus. I hope you’re doing much better than I am. Happy Holidays.
