    I always say the same thing to myself 🙁 Why do I keep going back when I know It’s going to end badly (every single time) I hate online gambling so much. It makes gambling for addicts too accessible. I wish you the best with your recovery.

      30 years of this. If I saved the money all the money I gamble, I would have had a house and a much better life. Instead I have a pile of debt. If I didn’t gamble most weekends, I would have had time for family and friends. I don’t even have best friend, just gambling friends. The life of lies is wearing me down. And the worst li of them all is…[Read more]

      • I did the same, relapsed last night with my rent money. And I was up, but for some reason, I don’t walk away. I kept playing watching the machine turn colder and colder. I self excluded today. And joined this site. I am fed up with sabotaging my life.

        I am here if you need to talk. Please reach out. Not sure how this site works, but I am here…[Read more]

        • A New Day, it was 8 months ago when you replied and yet I managed to still continue gambling. I fell numb right now, just gamble my whole paycheck and Christmas bonus. I hope you’re doing much better than I am. Happy Holidays.

    I completely agree with you about the miserable part. And I’m happy I’m not the only one with this addiction.
    Honestly, I feel that my gambling started after I was prescribed anxiety/depression medication (this was 12 years ago) I know I need the medication to make me feel better, but it also makes me not care about my gambling and who I hurt in…[Read more]

    I’m new to this group and hopeful that yesterday was the last day I gambled. I realized it doesn’t matter how much I win, I will always put it all back and more asap. I was never able to cash out or walk away with money in my purse, and that’s why I’m a compulsive gambler. It was always about chasing losses for me. It was never just for fun. I am…[Read more]

    • I’m with you. I am at a loss as to how I got here. Yet, I know all the reasons. It’s miserable.

    • I am right there with all of you. I have zero available credit, owe thousands of dollars out, my pay is already spent before I get it. Time was, that I would use online banking before my payroll check was even deposited.
      If I look back, my problem began when I was caregiving for relatives. Working full time, no social life, living in their house,…[Read more]
