    Today is only almost day 6 the thought about gambling has came to my mind several times but each time I remember to remind myself that I will never get a handle on this if I mess up and go. I just think about the rewards that I will reap if I continue to stay away from that misery making money ripping offing horrible place. I will in time have a nice bank account ( I haven’t had that in thirty years thanks to pissing it away gambling) self respect, money to save and pay my bills on time and a sense of pride!! Wow! That would be awesome. I’ve had gotten to the point many times with having no desire to live anymore that I was nothing but a joke and worthless. Constantly trying to hide my addiction and feeling like a complete failure because I couldn’t pay my bills on time because I had to rob peter to pay Paul. Always a nervous unhappy wreck. Lying to family and myself. I broke down and prayed my heart out to God for forgiveness and the power to change my life. I meant it with my whole heart and soul and now I feel I have a good grip on this. I’m high on the future and I feel free . I know I have to trust in the Lord and he will see me through. I’m 58 years old and I want the rest of my years to be happy ones, not broke and miserable ones.

    • Cpart I hear you another day free for myself also. That’s not going too change.

    • The feelings you have are ones most of us have had… It seemed that the complications got worse because of not only gambling… but lying or not telling the truth… and hating each time we do it… But with God’s help you can do it…. Take care … Lindy
