I just found out that my brother is moving all the way across the country. I am so sad. I will never see him or my nieces and nephews again. All I want to do is gamble now. I was doing so well. Now I am so sad and depressed. This is a huge trigger to gamble. I’m trying real hard to resist temptation. I’m losing my family and I have nothing to lose now.

Lisa I get that way after an argument or when people slight me at work and of course, I feel worse after I gamble to try and recover from that. Hang in there Lisa
Gambling seems to numb the pain temporary. I’m so hurt that my brother would leave the family. I have a small family. I’m just devastated. I’m trying not to gamble.
I’m sorry Lisa is he moving someplace nice? You can visit hopefully.
Hugs
He is moving over 20 hours away from me. I don’t have much family. It’s very small. My brother was always a strong support for me.
I’m sorry Lisa. I have a sister 2000 miles away. She’s been away for ever. We speak nearly every day on the phone. Sometimes twice a day. FaceTime works well also on facebook. I know it’s not the same as in person but a person can stay in touch. Hugs.
I am completely devastated. My life will never be the same. Our family is so small and my brother and his family were close. I just gambled again because of depression and lost money. Losing hope.
It is very difficult when we lose loved ones either by moving away or by passing.
I have lost so my loved ones and am an addicted gambler. Wow, it so so addictive. The last few times I went I
said I wont go back but did again and really screwed up my finances…….why, why why. What an addictive thing to do.
It is a constant thought and process to learn to block the addictive thoughts. It is exhausting dealing with this addiction…..but we have to keep working on contolling the urges and thoughts. Good luck
