I signed up for a service to stop me from going on sites to gamble. I also signed up for a app to help stop. So between here and those other things I think I can stop. I don’t like going to casinos I got in trouble online. It started with scratch offs . So wish me luck

Community 4 months, 1 weeks agoI am so ashamed of myself. I gambled again. My husband doesn’t know it yet but we have a couple of hundred dollars coming out of our joint account. I am so sick over it. I may hospitalize myself. I wish there was somewhere to go to get this demon off my back.

Hi Jewelz
Have you considered finding some counseling and as well Gamblers Anonymous group where there are folks who are or have bee where you are and who support each other not to place a bet One Day At A Time.

Hello Jewel,
I would suggest seeking professional help as well that would hopefully help you identify faulty thinking that leads you to gamble, how to handle urges and how to prevent relapses.

Community 1 years, 4 months agoI told my husband with tears in my eyes what I have done. He isn’t angry. Disappointed but not angry. We both will not gamble. I am an addict all the way around alcohol and gambling. I think I opened my eyes and admitted I have a problem. It honestly felt better to not lie or make excuses

I wish you all the best with your recovery!

Such strength and honesty to share with your spouse, spouse is-amazing big like my partner understands angry only when I lie

Community 1 years, 4 months agoHi… I am so ashamed I lost my husbands hard earned money gambling. I even got rid of my debit card so it wouldn’t be so easy. I do bring in income but lately I have been losing control. I keep doing vip checks a little at a time but i look and it added up to almost 100 in a few moments, I feel sick and so scared he will leave me. I have gone…[Read more]

I am sorry you are feeling this way. You are not alone. I went to a basketball game last week and as I looked around the stadium I noticed ad after ad for gambling sites. It is so easy to get tangled up into this. It really is a day by day issue to deal with. I too am struggling and want to talk to my husband about it but like you I am afraid…[Read more]

If it helps at all… I found that when I was afraid to tell my husband.. afraid I wouldn’t be able to find the words… I wrote my feelings etc. in a letter. That way I could take time to say exactly what I wanted to… just a suggestion….. Take care Lindy

I can identify with a lot you said, and I’m sure ‘many’ others can. I think how we feel about ourselves is the only thing that can motivate us to stop. It’s such a strong addiction… Perhaps if you are able to stop… stay away and find something else that may interest you…. then you could tell your husband but that you’ve stopped… Hope…[Read more]
