    I don’t really know where to begin so I guess I’ll just throw it out there… I recently started having a gambling problem that has gotten seriously out of control…. It started small as I’m sure it always does you know go gambling once in a while throw a couple hundred down the drain go home…. Then one day I actually one a decent amount and then I started feeling the need to go more often and the I’m taking more with me…. Then that turned into using an app to find the games which turned into eventually using the expensive ATMs and it was just never enough…. Now it’s gotten so bad that even when I win a decent couple hundred bucks it doesn’t phase me I have to keep going tell it’s all gone and I’m depressed asf!!! I leave the casino wanting to just crash my car because I’m so dumb for blowing all the money I really dont have.
    Finally yesterday i downloaded a slots game on my phone which started out free then I ran out of chips and starting spending real money to play for free chips and found myself unable to stop then either…. I don’t know how to fix this. But I was referred here and I’m hoping to start a new path and get my life back on track…. I guess thanks for listening lol

    • Your story is very similar to mine, and most people here I suspect, stay strong and fight he urge, I went 4.5 years clean this time, had a stumble for about a month that cost another 50K, and now back to step 1
