Hi all! New here. I have gambled for a long time, but now it is getting desperate. I opened a charge card in my 80 year old Moms name. I am so ashamed of myself.
How do you gamble is it online ? if so get a blocking application. This addiction is the worst and will make us do things we otherwise wouldnt do ….step 1 cancel that card step 2 block online sites …step 3 start your life over 1 day at a time
Hi Pamsy
It’s amazing isn’t it when a person knows better but doesn’t do better when led by gambling. I know in the past I have been so desperate too stop and stay stopped gambling and be happy for doing so. We in this group are all trying together. Reading here what people post their experiences and different ways of tackling this gambling situation helps a lot. I had too find it in myself too stop and still am struggling with it each day but holding on. The day by day advice is great advice. That in part is helping me a lot. I have lots of time in a day I don’t think about gambling at all. It has taken time for me to get there. But in the same day I have times that I do and so far I just wait for it too pass. If it were easy it would just be easy but it’s not.
I also found forgiving myself for spending money that I shouldn’t have on gambling is really important. Everyone makes mistakes. What’s important is how I move on from my mistakes. Can’t go back living in the moment is important. Gambling didn’t make me any money. But as I mentioned I can’t go back.
Flavor man mentioned some very powerful things in steps that help too beat this addiction.
