    Cried so much I have no tears left to cry.

    • I know it hurts. The pain is what is motivating me to not gamble. I never want to feel like that again. You will come out of this stronger than you were. Be patient and hang in there and stay on the path of not gambling. Everything will balance out with time.

    • I’m sorry Robin.
      Readyto quit is right. The pain will help keep you away. Is it slots online? Have you self excluded. That’s the only thing before that could keep me away.
      After sometime it’s easier for me to stay away. Not saying I don’t think about it. About a month ago I tried to signup with a site. It wouldn’t let me. Then I spoke with a rep from that site she told me three years ago I self excluded myself from that site. She asked me if I now wanted to rejoin.
      I felt so sad knowing at the point I self excluded myself. I must have been at a really low point to do that.
      I told the rep I’ll think about it.
      I didn’t go back. Why do I want to experience a low like that again. I don’t. Hugs. One day at a time.

    • My issue is slots but not online. In a casino or anywhere that has slot machines and yes I have self excluded. I’m just trying to get through a really tough month right now. Never want to do this again!…
      Thank you and hugs back.

      • VLT’s are everywhere now. Shame they all pay about the same 🤷‍♀️
        Years ago I self excluded myself from the casinos. That ran out and I asked for permission (I had to write a letter to the commission for approval to return) I wanted it in case there was a concert or show that came up and if I wanted to gobI could attend. That’s got to be at least two or more years ago now. With that
        I didn’t step foot in a casino and I haven’t to this day.
        One time as yourself I spent so much money I lived on bread and a dozen of eggs for at least a week and suffered through the month without much to eat.
        Everyday I was pretty sad and everyday was a swift reminder of what I had caused for myself.
