    I struggle with online gambling. I have self excluded from casinos in my state but now have turned to sitting at home and playing on my phone. I feel so much shame and guilt. I’m hoping for success as this will be my day one for recovery

    • Sounds like we have picked the same day and similar circumstances. Merry I’m wishing you the best. Not easy as it’s a real mind thing. But keep strong!

      • This is exactly what I did too. Self excluded last month and a week later found myself gambling online. I just requested for a self exclusion from the site since I just gambled away my paycheck, Christmas bonus, my phone bill money and no idea where to get money to pay my gambling loans which are now all past due. This gambling addiction is way beyond my simple mind can comprehend.

        • I know the feeling a few weeks ago I spent so much I barley had enough money left for food. That was a first all time low for me. Possibly my rock bottom. I have no intentions of starving. Day 3 of the rest of my life. It never gets better with gambling. I feel there’s no point if it doesn’t improve my life. Thank you for your comment. I wish us well.
