Congrats on Day 1!! I’m rooting for you Readytoquit. Make it HARD to go back and do it now while you’re feeling disgusted and tired. If you don’t have access to money you can’t gamble and if you ban yourself that’s effective to a certain degree also. If you’re not willing to do those things then you’re just kidding yourself. Hoping this is it fo…[Read more]

I feel you. If you’re serious about getting some clean time you need to set up roadblocks that will stop you when the urges arise. My #1 roadblock option is DO NOT HAVE ANY ACCESS TO CASH. For everyday expenses like gas and food put money on a prepaid Visa card. You will be able to purchase items but you won’t be able to withdraw cash from the…[Read more]

Community 6 months, 1 weeks agoIn order to get unstuck you have to get uncomfortable. You have to do things you don’t normally do. You have to stand up for yourself. You have to tell somebody when they hurt you instead of stuffing it down inside. You have to deal with the boredom and anger instead of escaping to the casino. You have to show who you really are instead of b…[Read more]

Community 6 months, 1 weeks agoIf you haven’t figured it out by now here’s the truth——Your gambling is not the problem. It’s just a sh*tty coping mechanism you use to deal with life. So if you don’t address the deeper issues that dwell within you the gambling will return. If you don’t feel worthy of a better life you will accept all the pain and abuse this addiction dis…[Read more]

Community 6 months, 1 weeks agoLook, this recovery process isn’t easy. You don’t just decide one day that you’re not going to gamble anymore and instantly your life is all rainbows and unicorns. It’s a messy tearing down of your old life and ways of thinking so you can build it back up on a more solid foundation instead of one made of quicksand. You’re going to have days when…[Read more]

Hi Stephann….I know you’ve been trying to get some clean time for a while now. I’m going to suggest something that people might think is a little wacky but it’s worked for me so maybe it will work for you too. Create a mantra for yourself. My two favorites right now are “I’m living an amazing life because I did not gamble today” and “ Money flows…[Read more]

Community 6 months, 3 weeks agoThe inner game is the ultimate game. We all know people who are rich and miserable because money can’t make you right on the inside. Be a friend to yourself. Love yourself. I promise you that if you do the work to get right on the inside the outside will fall into place. Much love and light to you.

I’m so sorry you are hurting. Please don’t give up on yourself. It’s never too late to change. The dark place you are in is just trying to tell you that your way isn’t working. I’m rooting for you Lisa.

Thank you Diamond. I just feel like there is no way out of this mess. Gambling is so deceptive because it seems so innocent until you get caught up in the establishment. I guess that’s how they make money, off compulsive gamblers. So sad.

Believe it or not there is away out.
Once you stop digging the hole and not place a bet One Day At A Time.
When I crashed I was about to lose my family job and home.
Today with support of others in recovery I haven’t placed a bet ODAAT in over 21 years.

True, Lisa it is hard because we love to try to beat the casino at their game .At one time or another we had the idea we could beat them but there are many variables that are in the casinos favor.

This addiction will not go away on its own. What does your daily practice look like to keep gambling at bay? Ken L has described some great ones that work. If you don’t break the cycle, the cycle will break you. Wishing you much progress in your recovery.

You are right Diamond about the cycle breaking me. I feel that I am way past recovery. I can’t believe I fell for their lies and deception. The casino sent me mail stating that I can win up to 100,00 dollars and I’m entered into a drawing. I go to the casino after work sometimes to unwind. Now I’m hitting rock bottom again. It’s the darkest…[Read more]

Community 7 months, 2 weeks agoThis addiction wants to convince you that you can gamble with discipline and limits. It would love nothing more than to place you back on that hamster wheel of pain. DO NOT FALL FOR IT. Make sure your roadblocks are strong.(ie: no access to cash, self banning) Your addiction thrives on complacency, big egos, secrets and isolation. On the flip…[Read more]

True, the thought of money management and skill. discipline. but if a person losses to much it seems they gave in to greed by not quitting while ahead.

Thanks :). I also have the fact that I study languages to keep what´s left of my brain occupied for parts of the day. Now when I am angry at myself I can call myself names in 3 languages.
