If you haven’t already come clean with your husband, start there. It’s important to have accountability because if you don’t it makes it really easy to progressively get worse. And it will get worse. Your right, it is an escape. So figure out what it is you are trying to hide from. Gambling is a really bad coping plan. You might forget about the p…[Read more]

I did come clean and we both agreed to changing the bank info so I can’t access it what so ever, I also closed all gambling accounts and it’s hard but I’m doing it

It’s been a while since I’ve shared anything major. However, I am once again deep in debt due to gambling my paychecks away for the last three months. Currently facing eviction, in bankruptcy, automobile no longer working and have been using a ride service since June. Whenever I think that I am doing well, I go to the casino…[Read more]

Community 3 days, 15 hours agoBad habits cause destruction. When we are 100% aware of the destruction we will quit. Many think they are aware, but they are either missing something long-term, medium-term, or short-term. If you keep going back, you are unaware of the full destruction that the habit gives. Consider praying:
“Father, show me the destruction of this h…[Read more] -

Community 3 days, 16 hours agoMy boyfriend recently went to rehab (about a week ago) and I’m feeling slightly anxious that he won’t want to be with me after he gets out. He has told me a bunch of times that he’s going to rehab to get better for the both of us, but I can’t help but think negative thoughts 🙁 any tips for getting past them?

Community 3 days, 20 hours agoHi all, I hope everyone is well. I’m new here and I’ve joined because I feel I need help and support with my gambling addiction.

Community 5 days, 4 hours agoI am a new member, I am addicted to gambling on slot machines and have lost thousands of dollars within the past year and I am here for guidance and support. Any suggestions or tips from anybody would be greatly appreciated.

Hi No more spins. Welcome we pretty much all in the same situation from where we started. I find this platform helpful to read others stories and to see it is possible to change things for the better. It is not easy to stop but we all know the outcome. Gambling get progressively worse and the best time to stop is now rather than later. I wish you…[Read more]

Welcome,
I, like you, have an addition to slot machines. I have stopped so many times but only to start again. However, I keep trying and hope you do the same.

Community 5 days, 9 hours agoMy dad has been gambling A LOT since my mom passed away 2 years ago. He was only going to the casinos, but he was in the hospital for a month and someone showed him how to gamble online. This has been a real problem since he’s spent way over $50,000 in just 3 weeks. Does anyone have any advice?
-
Sorry for your loss I believe many gamblers use gambling as an escape. Try speaking to your dad and tell him your concerns ultimately he will have to decide to stop and then maybe banning himself from the sites. It’s just to easy to gamble online.

Community 6 days, 14 hours agoEvery day work on some quitting addiction technique. If you are too tired to even think… you need to work on something even more. Exhaustion is a top reason for struggling. If you are too frustrated to keep up the self-discipline – ditto, frustration causes falls.
People who make it 400-500 days have a bunch of go-to methods that they use “…[Read more] -

Community 1 weeks agoDoes the chatroom no longer work? Ever since I said I would be here to check in every Tuesday hoping to speak live with another gambling addict rather feel completely alone in this every day… literally I cannot reenter the chat since I wrote that. I was like omfg is this some sick fate? Anyway, hopefully the chat still works but I still cannot…[Read more]

Hi Tam. I also find it frustrating my situation is no one is online when I enter the chat rooms so I use this platform to remind myself of the situation we find ourselves in. That does help somewhat.
-
I joined last week because I wanted a live chat option that would allow me to chat when I had the urge to spin. Unf like you the chat option does not work for me. Very disappointed and frustrated.

Community 1 weeks agoThis is my first time joining a gambling group. I feel very lost and have struggled to quit gambling. I am now acquired significant debt from chasing losses and would appreciate any positive words or what has helped some of you from being successful in quitting.
-
I understand what your going through, I also have acquired such a huge amount of debt in the same year I won an insane amount of money. How is this possible besides the impulse to continue gambling? I got an app to quit gambling called “Recover me” app. It uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and guides you through a pretty thorough…[Read more]

Community 1 weeks, 4 days agoIdk why this addiction is so freakin hard to overcome. It seems like a simple thing to just stop doing but when you want to chase wins and have a little bit of debt it’s hard to stop. I’m going to try my hardest this year to stop.

I don’t know what’s up with the chat room. Maybe it’s just down. There is rarely anyone in it. Glad you are open with your husband about what is going on. That is really important. I’ve struggled for a long time with gambling. And one thing gambling does to you without accountability is helps you become a really good liar. I’ve been focusing…[Read more]
Yeah I started feeling guilty and realise this isn’t the person I am ! I’ve seen my dad throw his phone through a glass door before he blew 800 dollars and never one luckily for me the most I ever spent in a month was 300 which yes it’s still bad but I close my accounts and I feel better. I started focusing more on spiritual shit like mediumship…[Read more]
That’s cool. Whatever works to keep your mind somewhere else would be good for you. Just don’t let the tarot cards lead you down the road to witchcraft. Made that mistake a few years back and turned a couple of people I really didn’t have that much against into a couple of toads.
