    Good morning. I am new here. I have read many posts and knowing I’m not alone in my gambling addiction is hopeful. I am struggling. I got paid Thursday, and my complete paycheck is gone to slots. Rent was due yesterday. I have exhausted family & friends. Never been late with rent, but now I must tell my landlord I’ll pay him in 2 weeks. Gosh, I hope he is understanding, but of course I can’t say “why” I don’t have the $$. I am going to turn to this website every time I get the urge. I can’t anymore. Gambling has ruined my relationships and me financially. Addiction runs in my family. I am the youngest of 6. My siblings are either alcoholics, gamblers or both. I am grateful, I do not drink. I am 57, divorced, and alone. I know the root of my gambling. I need to find peace in my life to stop the gambling. Any advice or support from the group here would be so helpful to me. I will turn to my bible which is always in front of me at home and stop ignoring what the good Lord wants for me. I love the 2-way prayer below. I am working on that. Thank you all for sharing your stories.
