    Thank you, Mozzie. Tile is actually a little square that you can attach to anything. It’s designed to be able to find your keys, phone,etc. While I do use it for that, I have added my boyfriend access to the location of it and I always have it on me. 🙂

    I thought I would share an update. I placed my last bet on Dec 28th, 2020. So it has been about 6 weeks since I quit gambling after 6 years of going to the casino every other day. I am honestly astonished that I was able to stop gambling . I left the casino crying on that cold December night and was so angry with myself. I said to myself “never…[Read more]

    • Hi ms23 I can very much relate to what you have said, I found researching the mind of the gambler online very helpful, it was interesting, informative, quite fascinating actually and the more informed I became the more it helped me to make a calculated decision about my actions which lead me to stop, in fairness I did start with one to one…[Read more]

      • P.S. Your ’tile’ which I presume is an app on your phone is a master stroke for prevention, more should be that honest with themselves and use that idea. Brilliant!

    Thank you so much for the advice. I am going to my first GA meeting on Thursday. I’m a bit nervous.

    Hello, I am a secret compulsive gambler. It has been about 6 years since I started gambling. My boyfriend and I used to go together all the time and that stopped about a year ago, and I have been going by myself without him knowing. After accumulating a mountain of credit card debt, I couldn’t keep it a secret from my boyfriend any longer and…[Read more]

    • Help, help and more help. Coming here was a good move. Join GA, get counselling, cancel your membership to online and physical casinos, cut off your line of access to gambling. Switch to a bank that does not accept transactions from gambling sources, they do exist, your own bank may already have that facility. Confide in your boyfriend once more,…[Read more]
