    Hi everyone, I have been dealing with compulsive behaviors when it comes to Slots for years now. I have tried quitting, therapy, breaks and controlling my outing and spending but I just can’t. It has become a bad habits that I can’t break free from … it is everywhere and always on my mind …. I want to go back to my old self when I didn’t have to gamble or like to play slots but I don’t know how …. sick and tired of losing and wasting money … I am good for a few days after a loss because I feel like crap but once I get over it I am back at it …. just 40 $ turns into 300 $ 🙁 There is no GA in my area and I would like to attend a group session of some sort … Last night I came back home crying in shame and regrets

    Thanks for listening

      Hi Scott
      Welcome to Gamtalk
      If you want to attend group sessions Gamblers Anonymous has several virtual meetings through North America
      and there is a moderated session here with a gambling counselor from BC Canada here on Tuesdays at 9 pm est.
      And if you are around at 11 pm est I try to visit our chatroom for awhile most days.
      Hope to catch up with you.

      Hi Scottpel, I just want you to know someone out here is listening and is in the same place. Just had my first Day 1 without gambling in a very long time. I need to attend GA too, virtually. Wishing you the best.
