Thank you. Glad you were able to resist. I had the urge today as well and this has already helped just talking about it. I resisted.

Thank you for listening and reaching out to me. I feel so alone and sad. It helps to know someone now knows what I am dealing with. Next step is a counselor.

Thank you for listening and caring. I am so ashamed. No one knows how bad it has become. I have thought about counseling recently and it may be the only answer for me. Thank you.

Many states offer free or low cost counseling for problem gamblers and their loved ones. If you live in Washington State I personally recommend Coastal Treatment Services….425-646-4406…. Take good care of yourself. Hugs

I have had a gambling problem for several years but now much worse. My use of alcohol is now daily, at least two or three drinks a day. Gambling weekly, excessively. Both numb the pain.

Hey laylagirl…..thank you so much for your post. My Mom committed suicide when I was sixteen and I found her shot in the head in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor. I spent a good chunk of my life (I’m 53 now) trying to escape the pain by gambling and other self sabotaging addictions. But they only offer temporary relief, postpone the work and…[Read more]

Hi Ladybug.
I’m sorry you are going through tuff times. I’m sorry you had major trauma you have endured. You are able too admit to yourself you at the time are in a problem. That’s a good chunk of the battle. It’s amazing too me what a grip gambling can have on a person. As I’ve come too realize it is a short term fix for what ails a person.…[Read more]-

Please know you are not alone. I recently opened up to my wife and told her I had been gambling AGAIN for the second time after stopping for a year. I got to the point of writing suicide notes for all of my family because I could not face what I did.
