    Finally hit my rock bottom. Going to try really hard to work towards recovery. Looking for a therapist, admitted my addiction to my partner, and going to attend GA meetings. Wish me luck. I haven’t gone more than 24-48 hours of no gaming over the last 3 months.

    Has anyone figured out a safer alternative to gaming? I need to replace one addiction for a lesser one.

    I really hate what this does to us. I truly feel where you’re coming from. And I hope you have the support you need to get through this.

    Definitely feel like I’ve hit rock bottom. Never thought I’d ever struggle with addiction. I thought I was in control. I dont even remember when I truly lost control. I have amassed tremendous debt and even my work and personal life have taken huge hits. Hoping one day I’ll be strong enough to stop!!!

    • Hello Coconail,
      Why wait until “one day”? Start now, start today! It’s not as hard as you might think. Just focus on not gambling for TODAY. That’s it. Tomorrow you repeat what you do today. Not to gamble that day. If there’s urges, try to delay it by doing sth else for just 15 min, and then another 15, then another. I would also really encourage…[Read more]

    My life was going just fine until I learned about online casinos. I’ve always dibbled and dabbled on slots when I’d go out of town and a casino was available. But never too much. I lose hope whenever I think about how much money I have blown on social casinos. Even when I win, I end up losing it back. I get too wrapped up in the win and chase my losses.
