    Hi everyone, my name is Clare and I’m addicted to online gambling. I’m in so much debt. I lost my partner few months ago due to gambling

    • Hi Clare. I too became addicted to online gambling and lost my wife and I’s entire savings. I’m new to seeking help and I’m at the lowest of low right now.

      • I’m sorry to hear you have felt you hit bottom. But sometimes you gotta hit bottom. I think it’s the only way I think to finally sit and think about the excitement but at what cost we all here have lost. Family, friends, relationships, love, self respect. It’s like you’re who moral compass has no further meaning. It’s crazy

    • Only Claire, thanks for sharing such personal losses. I lost $250,000 last year. This has been going on for 10+ years and I can’t stop I’m in so much debt. I make decent money as well. If I didn’t have this addiction I could be put into my savings $16,000 a month bi-weekly $8,000+. This is just crazy and such a hard addiction to overcome. I feel even worst than a drug problem because it’s 24/7 and your dealer has to sleep and live. Just gambling is at our finger tips 24/7. It never stops. Sheeesh! I wish this addiction on no one

      • Hi. I am also in 250K+ gambling debt deep. I came out to my husband few weeks ago. I played so much online casino games that everytime I think about it, I feel so disgusted. I am trying to find a therapist locally to figure out why I was doing what I was doing. I feel so defeated most of the times asking myself why did I even do that. I was secretly gambling online through my phone for 2 years. Now I have placed my family in jeopardy.
