    I wanna ask. Is there a reason why the chat room won’t work ?

    • 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.

    I just wanna get a hold of my self before I start to ruin my life, I notice that I’ve been spending a abit of money on casino sites and also stealing my hubbys money from his account to due so when we need the money. Im a new time mom and i feel like i just do this to escape and lose myself in the game you know ? So my question is what do i do to…[Read more]

    • 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

    Hello everyone,

    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]

    Bad 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]

    My 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?

  • Kay posted an update in the group Group logo of CommunityCommunity 3 days, 20 hours ago

    Hi 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. I have gambled everything I have and maxed out credit cards pawned gold and had bank loans all to fund it. I’m hoping to start recovering from today. Thanks.

    • Welcome Kay,

      I am glad you’re seeking help. Please know that you are not alone, and we have all done it. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

    My husband is a compulsive gambler and it’s destroying our marriage. I want to be supportive and not angry all the time. We’ve been together 40 years and this is destroying everything we’ve built together.

    • My Dad was a gambler all my childhood life and i never knew it. mom and him split after 25years. have you given him an ultimatum?

  • Chris posted an update in the group Group logo of CommunityCommunity 4 days, 11 hours ago

    Hi Everyone! I am new to the group. I have been a compulsive gambler for the past 20 years in casinos and online. I am once again in recovery. My last bet was on December 21, 2024.

    I 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.

    My 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.

  • E posted an update in the group Group logo of CommunityCommunity 5 days, 17 hours ago

    I am a compulsive gambler. I have not gambled today but that’s probably because my husband off from work. How will I manage tomorrow. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Every 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.

    Does 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.

    This 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.

    • Tam replied 1 weeks ago

      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]

    Trying my best to quit it’s hard I’ve constantly let my family down currently leaving the casino after a work shift that ended at 5am and scared to go home because I’ve let them down again

  • Raj posted an update in the group Group logo of CommunityCommunity 1 weeks, 4 days ago

    Idk 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.
