    Good morning. Its my first day here. I am not new to recovery groups, but I would always make it to Step 3 (sort of) and then stop. I rationalize to myself that gambling is just one other check mark of my list of addictions, but its not that simple. Somehow the reality of admitting that I am a compulsive gambler and my life is out of control always feels like a contemplation. I gamble online and go back to the sites and in my head I keep thinking – one more win and I’ll stop. I am ashamed of what my life has become and I need help.

      Welcome
      Glad you are reaching as many of us never do and end up insane in jail or dead.
      Hope you will find some counseling and start attending GA. Took me many relapses
      and a flirt with suicide before I realized that one can’t do this alone. Hope to see you
      in chat.
