Wasted another 260 $ in slots last night ….. I came home crying ….. I hate myself and feel like crap this morning …. I dreamed about it and couldn’t sleep …. I keep doing this every week and I lost hope in my ability to stop or at least control my impulse …. I have tried quitting cold turkey, therapy, limiting my bankroll and nothing works … I have lost so much in the last few years I dont know what to do anymore I am lost, ashamed and discouraged.

Hi Scott
Sounds like my story back a few years ago.
You posted the things that you have done so far and I too did those things except like you I hadn’t tried Gamblers Anonymous.
But when I finally admitted I was powerless over my gambling and started going to GA meetings did my life start to change.
Hope you will read and take to heart this poem.
God Bless

ANOTHER CHANCE
Fellow gambler, take my hand;
I’m your friend, I understand.
I’ve known your guilt, your shame, remorse;
I’ve borne the burden of your cross.
I found a friend who offered ease;
He suffered, too, with this disease.
Although he had no magic cure,
He showed how we could endure.
We walked together side by side;
We spoke of things we had to hide.
We told of sleepless nights and debts,
Of broken homes and lies and threats.
And so my weary gambler friend,
Please take this hand that I extend.
Take one more chance on something new,
Another gambler helping you.
Hey Scott.. I just joined..I hear you frustration..I wasted 1300 yesterday.. I told myself I am a mess..been doing this for so long..I’m in debt now..not me at all
I would like to attend GA but it is not available in my provice … I am in huge debt but lost so much money I am so mad at myself cause I am frugal with money usually …. Everytime I have the hangover the next day and vows to myself I have to quit and want to quit but a few days later its back to square one … I am so frustrated and tired and anxious and stressed
