    Has anyone filed for bankruptcy recently? Did you have withdrawals on your bank statements from the casino and/or cash advances? Did they become an issue during the bankruptcy?

    • Sorry I have no experience with this but wanted to let you know that your comment is being read and there’s people here for you.

    • Hi Ready
      I’m sorry you are going through so much. I have no answers for you. Possibly goggle might not sure. Stay strong!

    • I have recently gone through the ‘consolidation/bankruptcy process. They knew the reason for the debt was gambling but didn’t necessarily in the process to my creditors say that… It did not create an issue and so I pay a monthly amount to the consolidators. They of course notify the creditors and wait for them to accept partial amount of what I…[Read more]

    How did everyone begin their journey of recovery for their gambling addiction?

    • Seeing I was hopeless

    • I knew I had a problem but didnt know how to quit. I got myself an addictions counceller for free and then we started working on my life problems. Gambling is a symtion of a greater problem. Just one day at a time. When I couldnt pay my bills anymore and was about to lose my house I knew it was time. Find your rock bottom. Hope…[Read more]

    I have said so many times how I was going to stop or cut back but every time I go back again. I’m disgusted with myself and embarrassed as to how I’ve let it get this bad. The problems I have caused myself financially make me sick. The stress of not having money to pay bills is overwhelming.

    • I’m trying to stop one part of my addiction then I’ll try another

    • It helped me a lot to know I wasn’t alone. Unfortunately I’ve been there too, and even though it sucked I was okay. It will be okay. I really hope you figure it out ❤️ I’m on day 2 of my recovery after a similar situation happening to me this weekend. You can do this!

    • Yes I know that feeling and it’s so horrible to feel that way. No one understands around me how much of a problem it is. Yes this is my day one today.

    • For a compulsive gambler there is no cutting back there is only quitting. Unfortunetly I got addicted to gambling and had 5 credit cards my husband had no idea about and they were all maxed out. Then I got a second mortgage and then a third at 35 percent. This is an emotional illness that none other than us understand. Keep trying one…[Read more]

    • Stay strong on your journey. I know exactly how it feels to be broke af and its brought me to some low points in life but there is light at the end of the tunnel and things will get better once we stop gambling.

    I am right there with you and exactly why I decided to join today. Rent is due and my account is negative. I’m stressed and sick to my stomach over it.
