Community 1 weeks, 5 days agoI’m in a nasty cycle of gambling I’ll go a week without and I start having really bad intrusive thoughts that just keep getting worse and they feel really invasive and they’re strong and then I’ll find myself heading to the casino and I get this Rush and it always ends the same way losing it all it doesn’t matter how many times I’m up I keep…[Read more]

I can relate to everything you describe going through. The thoughts that convince me to gamble seem so irrational afterwards and sometimes days go by without gambling making any sense. Then sometimes without any real explanation suddenly I rationalize myself right back into the casino. What you’re describing about the intrusive thoughts getting w…[Read more]

Community 1 weeks, 5 days agoWe either do God’s will or we chase the wind. Over the last 24 hours I have prayed several prayers dozens of times each. The first is:
“Father, show me Your will.”
When I know what God wants me to do, I increase in joy. I have been increasing in joy for a long time now. I like having joy.
Key #1. Know God’s will. Do God’s will.
The second pra…[Read more] -

Community 2 weeks, 1 days agoHello….I just don’t know what to do…I’ve been staying up all night chasing losses, failing at work and my relationships. I was blessed with a family who
Has always supported me but I’ve let everyone down. I’ve lost 25k in the last month and I can’t stop online gambling. I keep trying to exclude myself but the one site keeps giving me bonus funds w…[Read more]-
I am feeling the exact same way – I think I have it under control but then a new site pops up and I have to try it and I just wait for my cool off period to end – I have an amazing family but this is causing such a rift in all of those relationships – I cannot stop myself – I don’t have advice but just know you are not alone

If you believe in the power of prayer, it is the only thing that helps me to forgive myself for the so many lies I’ve told, the self-hatred, the desire to overcome this addiction, and the overall need to be the person I was before gambling took over my life. I have been gambling since 1998. I have allowed this horrible disease to make me…[Read more]

Hi,
I am right there with you. I find that being able to talk to other gamblers does help because nongamblers will never get it. At least here, we can speak freely without fear of judgement. We will eventually overcome this addiction.-
After reading this I totally understand progressively it’s been getting worse for me and I keep chasing the losses. Definitely am looking forward to interacting on this site to try to gain some normality

Community 2 weeks, 3 days agoI need help.
I’ve always been a penny sincere, sure I like to gamble now and then when I have a little extra, after my bills are paid., you see what happens. Ive been going through health issues, im scared there is something wrong with me. Suddenly I have no impulse control, and im doing scary things i never would do. I borrowed money to pay…[Read more]-
Maybe deal with getting the facts on your health issue first. Fear and not knowing is scary enough. Please focus on you. This is a response and reaction to a fear. Gambling can numb that for awhile and then kick you hard when you see how much money and time gone. All the best to you.

Community 2 weeks, 5 days agoI watched a video of a rock star today. In 1985 he was one of the 3 biggest stars in the world. His part time job was on a hit TV show.
He said: I thought fame, fortune, and success would make me happy. It did not make me happy.
If he came over to my house today, I would tell him: Work on acquiring the joy habit every day of your life.
To acquire…[Read more] -

Community 3 weeks, 2 days agoPeople try the drug Oxy and think, “That felt good, I want to do that as often as possible.” Instead, if they were thinking “Long-term” they would think: I don’t want to be homeless, broke, and broken.
Consider writing Long term at the top of a piece of paper. Then as you read a bunch of articles, write down the dates and titles of article…[Read more]

Community 3 weeks, 5 days agoBoredom is a trigger. We get bored, then we flippantly decide what to do to pass our time. We choose an activity and then realize that it is not exactly pure. Stop. If you want to find joy, it is wise to learn the habit of stopping and finding a better “pure” activity to do. Gray area activities usually start you down a slippery slo…[Read more]
