    Hi people it’s been a week since I have gambled. I had a huge mind shift. I decided to put me first. I am worth it and I deserve to be happy. I have made other things a priority not gambling. I have money in the bank paid my rent and bills. A present for my partner who turns 60 next week and booked a motel for a weekend away in a couple of weeks.…[Read more]

    I can feel your pain truely. You are not a failure. It sounds like you are a very caring loving father remember that. This addiction has taken you over. Deep down you know you are a good person and would do anything for your kids. I also have felt like you a failure and guilty but we are here which means we don’t want this addiction taking hold of…[Read more]

    Thank you for your support I know you understand. I can do this and I will overcome it just like every other hard situation I have been in my life. I want to think like I used to be in control of my life not let this control me. Life is not easy but I am making it that it harder for myself. Have an awesome day and hugs to you to 💗

    • Cindylee. You verbalized what I feel sometimes also and I have thought the same.
      Life can get boring. Well I’m realizing there’s better things to do than gamble. So I’m trying to spice my life up. My challenge do a painting that will blow people’s minds🙂
      Better to buy paint then throw my money away.
      You right we’ll get through.

    Thank you for your response. You sound understand like so many others. Yes a dirty little secret. Like you and many others I just can’t understand why I do it anymore. The excitement as life is very mundane at times. Get up go to work come home cook dinner watch some T V go to bed and do it all the next day. It’s a mindset that needs to change.…[Read more]

    I got paid yesterday. Paid my rent and bills and gambled the rest on online slots. I have been justifying that if the bills are paid it’s ok. It’s not ok. I started gambling at 45 after my husband left me. My depression was so bad I gambled every chance I could. These days a few years down the track I don’t know why I still do. I have a loving…[Read more]

    • It sounds to be like you do have a beautiful life . You have suffered but rose above your suffering.
      Now you need to rise some more.
      You want to stop it’s not easy at first There’s a lot of self talk involved. Anything a casino will give you. They have the programs to take it back two fold. You know that. I know that.
      We shouldn’t be so kind.…[Read more]

    • You “got paid and paid your bills and gambled the rest. “
      There will come a time where you will dip into the rent and bills. It will seem unlikely now but if you keep going you will do that. I never thought I would but I did because I was losing and thought I could win.

      I have finally realized there is only one way to peace. Never gamble aga…[Read more]
