Community 8 months, 2 weeks ago Day 8- Trying to forget about all the money Ive lost this year. Sometimes that is a trigger for me to play again. I have to accept and move on from that old way of thinking.

I broke down and went to gamble again to try to get my money back from 2 months ago and lost a lot. The biggest issue is that I do not have a job and was only able to work 16 hours in 2.5 weeks and I got desperate after being out of work for almost 2 years. It is always the same result when you gamble you lose 90% of the time and you always regret it after you leave. It is hard to face that I had to take early retirement and if I did not gamble I would have over $400,000 now when I need it the most. I will have to obstain from gambling forever and get to GA meetings more often.
Sorry to hear that Lou. I know that feeling of regret after losing very well. Im also going to make meetings too soon because eventhough Im sick and tired of losing and feeling that regret, Part of me still wants to win my money back too. I have to accept that Ill never get it back and it aint worth trying because you’re right 90% of the time I will lose more trying to win it back and fall into a deeper hole of debts. Stay positive and get thru the next few days without gambling.
