    I hate that I am this way. I’ve turned into a liar, a cheater and basically a thief. I’ve borrowed money from everyone and everything I possibly can. I owe more than I’ve ever won. I’ll have enough money for my bills and can somehow rationalize betting it all away because “there’s no way I won’t get it back.” Then I don’t. It doesn’t come back…[Read more]

    • Hi moonbeams
      I’m sorry gambling is causing you so much grief.
      It’s my belief that some of us that gamble possess amazing human traits/qualities. Such as drive, determination likely willing to work and and never give up. Mix those qualities in with gambling and there could be a problem.

    Thank you for sharing Serenity – I myself had a slip this last week. I spent my entire mortgage/bills fund which is all the money I had to my name. Here I am trying to clean up the mess – even though it isn’t possible… It’s funny how you can take an extended break and then when you come back to the game you tell yourself you’re going to stop at…[Read more]

    • I have been exactly the same. Im only going to spend $200. Then that’s gone. Well for sure $200 more. I should hit. Oh I did but I have $200 now I’ve got too get the other $300 back but I didn’t I lost the $300 now I e put $400 more in trying to get it back. I’ve lost track of what I’ve put in. If I I have more money I can put in. I should at…[Read more]

      • I feel this so much from the both of you. I realized after playing today…I do win but I don’t pull out. I keep playing wanting more. I play with 200, lose it. Play another 200, win 300 but need to keep playing to gain back what ive lost. I feel so seen with this community, our minds all work the same. Serenity is right, logic doesn’t work eith…[Read more]

        • Willow you are right our minds are very similar. You are also right by saying we’ll get through this together. Hugs

    Thank you guys – I was not successful today 😪 tomorrow is a clean slate I guess

  • moonbeams posted an update in the group Group logo of CommunityCommunity 1 years, 5 months ago

    Tomorrow I’m really going to try. Try to say no and save the little money I have left. I wish I never found the shovel I used to dig this hole I’m in

    I’m not getting any better. I finally deleted my apps today but I couldn’t find it in me to self exclude. I’m so stressed this week. I’ve borrowed more money than I can pay back and I don’t know how I’m going to make all my bills today 😭 I told my husband about the money I lost if anyone was wondering. I didn’t however, tell him about all the…[Read more]

    • The only thing I would suggest is what I had to do… and that’s find a ‘consolidator’ … it’s short of declaring bankruptcy…. they arrange to pay your debtors a certain percentage of what you owe… It seems like an option for you… anyway take care… Lindy

    • You are not alone. I’m in the same place. It’s very scary wondering if I’ll be able to pay rent and feed my cat. I’m working on “let go and let God”. I can’t bring all this stress to work – can’t afford to lose my job. I gotta say I’ve thought about taking my cat to the animal shelter and putting myself out of my misery. I have contacted a…[Read more]

    It helped me a lot to know I wasn’t alone. Unfortunately I’ve been there too, and even though it sucked I was okay. It will be okay. I really hope you figure it out ❤️ I’m on day 2 of my recovery after a similar situation happening to me this weekend. You can do this!

  • moonbeams posted a new activity comment 1 years, 5 months ago

    My husband was beyond disappointed 😔 now I have to rebuild our trust and I feel like a failure. I wish he would leave so he wouldn’t have to deal with me anymore, but he says he wants to stay and work things out. So long Christmas though 😪

  • moonbeams posted an update in the group Group logo of CommunityCommunity 1 years, 5 months ago

    Today is not a good day. Just digging myself deeper in debt to try and hid my loses. I’m at my wits end and I can’t do this anymore. Just a really. Really bad day

    • You’re not alone i e one similar I find each loss is a lesson if I listen

    • I am right there with you and exactly why I decided to join today. Rent is due and my account is negative. I’m stressed and sick to my stomach over it.

    I might add that this won was literally on Friday and it was gone by yesterday (Monday)

  • moonbeams posted a new activity comment 1 years, 5 months ago

    This is literally me Pearlie. I won and lost 22k in a course of 4 days. After I spent it all I got myself back into all the debts I paid off on day one of four. I sincerely wish you the best on your recovery. Also, thank you for sharing this. It made me feel much less alone in my situation…. ❤️

    I am an absolute mess today. I can’t stop crying about the money I lost. My husband is going to leave me when I tell him and I’m so distraught and angry with myself. Why am I like this? Why is it that thousands of dollars seems like Pennie’s until it’s all gone. I hope this feeling goes away soon. I hope my husband can forgive me and is willing…[Read more]

    • I felt the same way. I spoke to my husband bout it today. I am being open with him and he understands that I have a problem. The fact that you are here is a good sign that you want help. You can get through this.

    • Big hugs ❤️

    • I’m a rookie too keep on trying as ppl tell me

    • Hey how did it go when you told your husband. Mine is disappointed in me

      • My husband was beyond disappointed 😔 now I have to rebuild our trust and I feel like a failure. I wish he would leave so he wouldn’t have to deal with me anymore, but he says he wants to stay and work things out. So long Christmas though 😪

    This is my first time here and I’m sad. I recently won a substantial amount of money online. Somehow my deposit limit on the site got removed and long story short it’s gone. 4 days and everything I’ve begged and pleaded for us just gone. My husband has no idea the mess I’ve put myself into. I have no friends to lose in the first place. I feel al…[Read more]

    • The shame is real. It’s okay to feel it. Don’t deny it. But in doing so, also accept that you are able to move on from that feeling of shame in the same way that you went to it. It’s not as easy, but it is possible. Know that it does get better. I know the loneliness – we have all felt it. Don’t give in to any illusions or delusions. Close your…[Read more]
