    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?

    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 6 days, 17 hours ago

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

    • 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

    • How did you figure that out? Is this something from your taxes or you just calculate it?

  • Jenny posted an update in the group Group logo of CommunityCommunity 6 days, 17 hours 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.

  • Jenny posted a new activity comment 1 weeks, 3 days ago

    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]

    That’s great advice Serenity.

    Nice thanks for the comment Dan. That’s good advice.

    Do you find the more you think about not gambling the more you want to?

    • Dan replied 1 months ago

      This is a great observation Jenny. I have learned that the best way to deal with this is to stay busy with positive and fulfilling activities. If you are concentrating on positive things and activities the thoughts of gambling or not gambling diminish tremendously. Both of the thoughts of not gambling or gambling are are the same in my opinion.…[Read more]

    I have 10 minutes left to do nothing on my break instead of gambling I wanted to see what was going on in gamtalk it helps me appreciate the fact that I’m not gambling.

    Yes I was kind of offended that she said I might benefit from a treatment center I don’t im that far gone.

  • Jenny posted a new activity comment 1 months ago

    BT suggested I check in to an in-patient treatment center not counseling while I do hear she’s got some valid points regarding my sobriety, I don’t think I need to check in to an in-patient treatment center. It’s still early in my recovery and perhaps i shouldn’t have shared the fact that i gambled to you guys before i told my therapist but i…[Read more]

    • You are doing well seeing a therapist. You have a will to stay away from gambling and that’s a good start. Good that a treatment centre helped BT. There’s options and it’s good too know them weather we chose to use them or if we need them or not.

    I gambled but I was able to stop at $100 vs stopping till I had $0, I think I’m doing good

  • Jenny posted a new activity comment 1 months ago

    I’d say therapy might help

  • Jenny posted a new activity comment 1 months ago

    I hope I didn’t offend you your message sounded like you were offended, I hope not I was just sharing my story. I guess it is offensive that I still gamble while everyone else is having a hard time quitting yet somehow manage. I will not be so offensive next time.

    Thank you for sharing that story Serenity
