Today, I am not proud of myself. I downloaded “bet blocker” in hopes to block all online gaming websites. I went to check to see if it worked so I visited a site that I used to frequent. Well it didn’t work and I ended up making a deposit. Well that is now gone and now I feel pretty down on myself. I guess it’s back to square one. This feeling has come to the point where it makes me almost nauseous. I am disappointed in myself but the one positive that I can take from this is that I didn’t go on a full tilt bender. Maybe this may be the last bit that’s in my system. I guess only time will tell.

Cjg, don’t beat your self up. I slipped so many times too. Continue learning from mistakes. Have you considered counselling or GA?
I was battling with the strong urges today (it’s weekend) and was getting afraid I might slip again. I had a session with therapist and it really helped me.
Hi Yolip!
I think the only way to get out of this gambling addiction is by talking to a professional or going to GA. I’m going to call my insurance and see what’s covered. This really has to stop. My mind is always bringing me back to this lousy state and I’m just tired…
I hope all is well with you Yolip! Please don’t slip as I have…
My therapy sessions are free. It’s under a program called CALGETS (California Gambling Education and Treatment Services) It’s a collab between the Office of Problem Gambling (OPG) and the UCLA Gambling Studies Program (UGSP) here in Los Angeles. I don’t know where you are but you can check the internet for free resources in your area. It’s how I found it.
Thanks for the info!
How about 90 meetings in 90 days? Just throwing another idea out there for you Cjg. It helps to surround yourself with people who support the changes you want to make. A whole new world is possible Cjg but you have to want it with all your heart. I believe you have incredible gifts to share with the world. I beli you deserve to be happy. Change is not easy but it will be worth it and you are very capable of beating this addiction. Much love and light to you.
Sorry for the misspelling. That middle sentence should read “ I believe you deserve to be happy.”
