    • Buggy it’s good that you were doing well.
      You had a slip. and it didn’t go well. It usually doesn’t and that’s always a hard lesson to learn.
      Brush yourself off and stick to your conviction to stop gambling.
      It’s unfortunate how quickly a person can forget why they wanted to stop in the first place.
      Get help if you can and think it’s warr…[Read more]

      • Same thing with me.. it’s 2am and I can’t stop thinking about the money I won then lost just 12 hours ago . That money would have let me pay my mortgage and now I put that plus double in. Over 2 grand.. I’m so sick I just want to throw up. You’re not alone. I don’t know how I’ll ever repay all the financial damage I’ve done. Good luck to you a…[Read more]

    • Nice to hear your doing better, I wondered if you were able to stay away. I’m still wanting to gamble but with gamban I can’t. I also self excluded on my websites. Finding it hard to battle the urges but I managed to stay away from the casinos.

    I’ve been there too this past week I had no money and I just kept checking my phone like something was going to randomly appear.As hard it is to resist you can be strong Jenny and make it through the day of work without touching that computer or even gambling, it’s heavy burden to have on our shoulders of wanting to gamble all the time but we all…[Read more]

    Thought I could make it But, I didn’t I failed myself and I let the urge beat me one week at time I guess made it a week without gambling and unfortunately I couldn’t resist the temptation and I did it feel so week withdrawing from a rush of dopamine but I got the rush and it didn’t feel the same like a realization of why am I doing this. I recen…[Read more]

    • Hello Buggy,

      It’s hard staying gamble-free so give yourself a pat in the back for making it to 1 week. You are not weak, you just lack the know-how and practice on how to deal with urges better. Urges tend to subside gradually on their own usually after 15 min so the next time you are experience them, see if you can occupy yourself with sth…[Read more]

      • Is this app free skinner? Buggy what happened you quit gambling, I have the same urges as you and I think we’re on the same boat

        • Hello Jenny,

          We want to make it free so we are looking for ways to partner with orgs that might take an interest in it, but even if we did end up charging users, there will be some content available for free and the full version is going to be significantly less than the cost of one therapy session, for example.

          Hope that answers your question.…[Read more]

    • Hi Buggy it’s been over three months for myself not gambling.
      I don’t feel the loss of the money and I’m more able to see myself paying for things I need to pay for.
      I know your fear of not wanting to gamble while wanting to gamble.
      There seems to be a road before us.
      My guess is gambling really isn’t adding to your life. I know it hasn’t…[Read more]

      • Hi buggy im up to date, how are you gambling is it at work? Because I recently discovered I can, and I told myself I’ll allow myself to gamble at work since it’s reduced my gambling from daily to 3 times a week, then hope fully the lesser and lesser I have access to the websites I can quit. Did you try and install gamban on all your devices? It…[Read more]

    I know what you mean Jenny feels like I got to work and I’m just waiting to chase but I try so hard to find a way to gamble if that’s selling something etc . The worst thing is you can ban your self on the casinos online but they don’t care or you can always find another and you don’t care how sketchy it is cause you just wanna play and try and…[Read more]

    The money to me just means I get to play longer in that session that I win cause I know im gonna lose it all even if I cash out I know it’s gonna go right back in within a couple hours or a day or two, each bet im getting closer to the big win that I haven’t gotten there’s been sessions where I’ve sat on my computer wagering for 12 hours straigh…[Read more]

    • Same for me

    • As for Michael_Dgen’s comment, I didn’t tell my friend I was going to borrow money I just told her I had a problem with gambling, so my intent changed when I told her so I sort of stopped myself from having the option of gambling because deep down inside I want to quit but really I’m chasing after that win

      • My last win was in Jan 17, paid my mom $1700 and paid my visa which I used again so I didn’t really paid any bills just used it again, now I’m broke waiting for my check to come in

        • So I can play again

          • So im just working to play

          • You know what is the problem with my gambling, I’ve let it come first before school work and family, im trying to quit for those reasons but im falling

          • Jenny the best way to stop is self exclusion. Closing your accounts. I am either self excluded or I Ve closed my accounts online. Counciling may be something to consider also. A person needs to start doing things differently a hobby spending more time with friends, loved ones. Things that can make you happy besides gambling. There’s no easy q…[Read more]

    Been gambling for a while didng really think it was a probelm till it was the only thing I think about the only thing that could distract me was being at work then it came to the point where I was gambling at work the deposit size were small at first but lately they have been getting bigger and bigger I use god as a method to seek forgiveness in…[Read more]

    • I’m in the same boat, I just watch when I have no money to gamble, wanting to bet, I keep asking for money from lenders, im currently $15000 in debt

      • I play online and I can’t stop thinking about gambling it’s the only thing I keep in my mind lately

        • “It’s only on the brink that people find the will to change”

        • It is very difficult to sway a gambler into logical thinking…especially in the midst of chasing.
          The debts keep compounding…. snowballing.
          I know… I have lived it and regret all that I have lost.
          Please continue to talk about this horrible addiction with others.
          You have taken the baby steps …talking, discussing, listening, reading……[Read more]

          • Even as we speak im watching Mt gameshow online and thinking of placing a bet, I was thinking of borrowing money from my friend but instead I told her I have a gambling problem and that I can’t stop thinking about gambling, my mentality change instead of asking her for money I stopped myself from having the opportunity to borrow money.

            • I know now she won’t lend me any money for gambling

            • Be cautious on who you talk to about this problem.
              I don’t wish for you to lose friends over being transparent.
              It may come back to haunt you…possibly effecting your job.

          • Good advice. Michael
