    Feeling really low!!! Was given $190 to grocery shop and only spent $100. Other was spent on a gambling machine inside a convenience store. So embarrassed and feel worthless!! Last week, I spent $160 that I shouldn’t have spent. When will it ever stop? When will I ever feel good about myself again?

    • Hi Sandy
      Feel good about yourself you’re okay.
      I found I just have to walk by. I just can’t stop. I just can’t log in.
      If you did get lucky and win you probably would play again. Till what you’ve won is gone.
      I couldn’t get away stay away and have done exactly what you are experiencing now. And hate myself. I’ve decided I’d sooner hate gambling then myself. You obviously want to stop or you wouldn’t be writing anything here.
      I finally realized it’s nearly impossible to be ahead gambling. I got tired of disliking myself. Gambling in my view is a huge trap set up by businesses and government to make money. I don’t think they care what happens to you and I at the end of the day.
      It’s up to you and I to care about ourselves.
      I hope you can find it in yourself and I think you can too not place that first bet. ❤️ Counciling may help ga meetings. Speaking with someone you know and can trust.
