    Thanks friends! Went to GA mtg – lots of support, literature, phone numbers to reach out. It felt like I was “home” – people understood (which non gamblers have a hard time with). Soon as I start getting anxious or fidgety to reach for my iPad to gamble, I say NOT NOW and the urge can pass. Day 3 today.

    Quitting once again. Made worst financial mess to date. Checks bouncing, bills not paid, husband ready to end things. Wonder if there’s any inpatient treatment in Michigan? Saw therapist for 2nd time yesterday. Installed Gamban to keep me away from gambling.

    • Hi Joni
      Glad you are reaching out.
      Here is a link to treatment centers in Michigan.
      And if I may suggest maybe give Gamblers Anonymous meeting a try.
      Lots of support there. And this is a tough addiction to arrest on our own.
      God Bless

    • You can do this. We all need each other for support. This is my first time on here.

    • My partner isn’t pleased either I’ve burned up some money which could help us both greatly not to mention a few years of gambling which could have paid a nice down pay on a house
      Try today your best and succeed in that , then try the next day I’m learning too
