2 months to get back on track is very doable!! You got this. I know people thousands in debt because of this horrible addiction. Try to find hobbies to do and to put the extra money into a tfsa that you cant take the money out of for a certain time. Hope this helps!

The day you stop gambling is the day you’re free. Fight your urges with whatever you need to. Invest time in your family, career, and your future. I find having hobbies helps a lot getting out of the grips of gambling temptation. I have instead invested money i would have deposited into a casino into a TFSA and it has helped me so much. Stay s…[Read more]

If i ever got the urge instead of depositing i would invest it or pay off some of my debts and pretend that i m…[Read more]

The day you quit gambling for good is the day you’re free. Nothing good comes from it, you’re not going to hit that big “pay day” or pay off your debts. I have been down that path so many times. Focus on your career, family, and investing money instead of giving it away. Sorry if this sounds harsh but i had to hear this to really wake up.

I would tell him you relapsed and look for support through him instead of hiding it. The more you hide it the worst you will feel, in my experience hiding gambling has only led to more trouble.

Hello, i have never done something like this. Im 27 and discovered online betting when i was about 21. I have been on and off with betting on various sites. I have used almost every website available and have self excluded from majority of them, but i always find a way to get back on. I was winning a lot and i told myself i would stop once i…[Read more]

Hey Brandon!
Welcome to the group. I too am fairly new here with a similar situation at hand. Online gambling is the worst simply because of how easily accessible it is. Push a button make a deposit… win some money, lose a ton more. It drove me to the point where I was literally yelling and smacking myself because it was an endless loop of h…[Read more]

Hi Brandon
Welcome too this site.
The first thing I can think of with your girlfriend you need too give her permission too say no too you when you want her help too side you in gambling. And she needs too stick too that. Also ask if you haven’t already for her support.
