Oh man, can I relate to your story Nick. Everything you wrote was the same emotions that I have been going through most of my life. I lied to just about everyone or told half-truths. I lied to myself that I can get out of my financial ruin. Once I finally confessed to my wife, I realized that she already knew a good portion. She was much more…[Read more]

TeDon, I totally understand your situation. My addiction is extreme and it caused so much damage. I am still fighting through it and the hardest thing for me is that desire to get out of the hole. I know it will never happen. Gambling seemed to be the only thing that would give me hope, even though it was false hope. I have to accept the only hope…[Read more]

I have self-excluded from all of the legal casinos in my state. However, most of my gambling was online at casinos that are not legal. I don’t think I can self-exclude at those. I just have to find other ways to use my time. My wife and I are looking for part-time online jobs. I am hoping I can fill my time with making money the right way. I do…[Read more]

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate that. I have an understanding wife which makes all the difference in the world. I know I am lucky in that regard. I didn’t gamble today even though I have money. That is a good first step. I was tempted but I didn’t do it. I hope your relationship can stay strong too. I know it is hard to handle the…[Read more]

I know how you feel. I have experienced that over and over. Just know you can do this. You have to do this. I have to do it too. We cannot live like this anymore. We have to change.

I don’t know if anyone reads these posts or not but I feel better if I share even if it is to thin air. I have read several stories and I am sure my case is quite similar. I am completely out of my mind and insane once I start gambling. My problem with quitting has always been the helplessness I feel because I know I can’t pay anyone back.…[Read more]

Hi CD, I read your post and can relate to where you are at. The only way one can come right is to make the decision to stop. You need to see the situation for what it is and then start taking the right steps. You still have an income which needs to be preserved and you can only tackle one thing at a time but each thing that gets sorted is sorted.…[Read more]

Hi CD,
I can also relate and I have been through and going through all the same things. Do you gamble online or in person? I had to self exclude myself which i think saved my life. Gambling messses up your brain chemistry and the only way to reset it is to not gamble for some time. Self Exclude and block gambling websites, its the only way when…[Read more]-
