    Hi everyone. I have been gambling for years. At first it was fun, now it consumes me. I inherited some money a few years ago and have gambled most of it away. Each time I go to the casino I say “I am only going to spend a little” and I spend so much. It’s crazy people say I need help because I am a different person when I get there I get angry if the person i am with wants to leave. I feel ashamed after and so mad at myself. Then I do it all over again the next time. I say I am done then I do it again and again. I think about the past and it tears me up I feel like I need to make it up the next time but I don’t. It doesn’t matter how much I win either I always leave broke. I am hoping this forum will help to overcome this addiction. Thanks for letting me vent

    • I totally hear you! I hardly ever leave with any money either. Have lost thousands. Enough is enough. I am seeing an addictions counselor and on gamtalk. Hope to beat this thing! Today is day 6 no gambling!

    • I have been doing the same thing. I leave broke every time
