A few months ago, my therapist recommended gamtalk. I immediately jumped in and was accepted with open arms. I felt a sense of acceptance, love and support. The only problem, I wasn’t ready. I stopped reaching for help, I stopped sharing my relapses and I pushed everyone away. I came close to ending it all a few weeks ago. I couldn’t bare to live with my lies, my guilt and my addiction. I finally reached out to family and friends, I see my therapist weekly. Yesterday I celebrated 7 days clean however I recently relapsed. I feel horrible. I’ve come to you guys for support. Tonight I will be telling my husband everything. I pray he’ll forgive me.

  Sounds like my own story. I had over 90 days. I was coming here on chat almost daily then not so often. I have about 7 days too. I don’t even remember what day it was. But if you are on 7 days that sounds about right to me. Keep coming on chat and we will be stronger against this alligator. Tick Tock….One Day at a Time.

  I know for myself. I don’t take losing money easy and that’s where the casinos win. More money goes in with the hopes and rush of winning.
  I’m about 7 days free also. Ken said something interesting that struck me. The in between and there needs too be an in between. That’s a tuff place too be. Even at this moment writing too you. I feel tempted. But it will pass. The temptations will pass just need too put a bit of time in.
  I understand the guilt and pain gambling causes. I have and will be working harder too make up for the money I have lost. So it is and I will work harder. Not sure why when something causes so much harm a person would want too do it anyways. Maybe it’s the fact of odds but the way things are rigged these days there really isn’t odds in a persons favour.
  I could go on and on.
  Rachel I’m glad you checked in and want too stop gambling also. You and all here deserve better. One step at a time tomorrow is a new day. And best not too worry about it because today is really important hold onto what you know you truly want. I hope the best for you.
