    I’m not going to sit here and complain that I have no money because it was a choice I made when I finished $3000 in two days. I can’t quit gambling the only reason why I do it is because I can, but I’m ruining my life, i have more debt than income so I don’t know what I’m doing. I like to spend more money on stuff instead of gambling but I find my…[Read more]

    Frog2255 I think my reason for not quitting is that gambling makes me happy in the moment but the devastation afterwards is horrendous I think I’m chasing some sort of happiness, I want to be happy that’s why I keep gambling, it’s thrilling. I must be addicted to the rush.

    It’s hard for me to quit because 2 years ago I also won lots of money, I got hooked into winning

  • Jenny posted a new activity comment 9 months, 4 weeks ago

    I just want to play because I like the rush of winning but I know if I keep playing I’ll lose it all

    I played and won some money, I don’t want to play anymore because I won but my instincts telling me to play. What should I do?

  • Jenny posted an update in the group Group logo of CommunityCommunity 10 months ago

    I don’t think an addict can walk away a winner in the casinos because even if you win you still want to play. How can anyone walk away a winner?

  • Jenny posted a new activity comment 10 months ago

    No I was just high on wanting to win big so I said that, now that I’m thinking clearly I’m just going to pay my loans

    • I know staying away is hard. Maybe make yourself a list one column of what gambling does for you and another column of what it doesn’t do for you. So good and bad. I did this. It does help rationalize or put a better perspective on things.

    No I was just upset, I bet all my money on gambling and lost so I thought betting more money would get me more results but now that I’ve had some sleep I’m rethinking my options. I took a $900 loan just so I can play and lost it all. That was yesterday. I was just mad I wanted to win back money I lost. I’m constantly changing my mind

    I’ve decided I’m going to risk it all, I will wait for my money to come in and I will bet it all on my number, so far no wins but I can’t wait to gamble

    • Jenny what’s happening.
      I don’t know seems when something comes up for me that’s a disappointment it makes me feel like gambling I guess called slips.
      That’s something I need to work on.
      Because for me gambling is my biggest disappointment in myself which is the worst.
      Other than gambling I live a pretty standup life.

    Putting 20.5% of my 14.8% rebate on gas I still have $190 spending money left after I’ve paid my parking and gas

  • Jenny posted a new activity comment 10 months ago

    I will get 14.8% back from what I spent and putting 30.7% of that to my parking so im still ok

  • Jenny posted an update in the group Group logo of CommunityCommunity 10 months ago

    I spent 7.5% of my earnings on the casino, I’m happy it wasn’t more than that.

    As long as those things get paid

    • Hi Jenny
      I know the draw but I also know the outcome. Even if a person dies win it’s hard to stop or it goes back in short order.
      The conclusion behind instead of ahead. I know it’s really hard to stay away but I hope you do. It sounds like you make decent money good for you ! One day at a time.

    Actually I have plans to go shopping with the money I get tomorrow so I will save some money for that. I already promised my mom $2000 so that’s 2/3rds of my check right there $500 will be on bills and another $500 will be on visa so I have plans for my money to go places but technically I can spend the money I put on my visa anywhere else so…[Read more]

    I was able to stay away from gambling for 2 weeks and spent my money on other things besides gambling but 2 days ago I gambled. I wasn’t thinking, I just gambled, I didn’t think it would be a problem, but it was, because I spent all my remaining dollars on gambling which was $90, be it a thousand dollars I would have probably done the same thing…[Read more]
