    I am thankful for the day and for this website. I was home sick with the flu yet still have so much to be thankful for
    and pray that all of you will have a peaceful sleep tonight and start the day tomorrow with hope in your life. All we can
    do is focus on not destroying ourselves, others, and our lives since we only get one (my thought, I…[Read more]

    Hello Durr,

    I hope you had a good day. Thank you for writing back! I was reading the Daily Bread today and the message was
    “Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.” Psalms 23:6
    It went on to explain that in Hebrew, the word follow literally means to pursue or chase. God is
    chasing us. I thought about that and…[Read more]

    Good morning Nicole, great job on not gambling yesterday! I am on day 2 today as well and already feel a little better just from taking active steps to address this dependency. I think it is important to create healthy rewards for ourselves that will replace our “go-to”. I don’t know what that will be for me but it is worth thinking about. We…[Read more]

    Hello Nicole, yes I believe you can download their program for an Apple computer/tablet/phone, etc. I hope that helps.

    You can try it for free for 7 days, I am not getting any kickbacks from them but know that it works because I had this installed on my PC and laptop at the beginning of 2021 and did not gamble at all that…[Read more]

    Hello Durr,

    As a person of faith in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, I can appreciate what you state yet on some levels I don’t agree. I am by nature a very generous person and have been more so when I have won. In my thinking, people may find themselves powerless in the face of gambling but it remains a choice. If I lose $1000.00 in a few…[Read more]

      Hi Ellablee,
      I think that God has a purpose for us, and things for us to do. I write about purpose often for the Christian group at quitgamble.com James 4 says: Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
      For my Christian group, I push “purpose” so that we will focus on “doing good” instead of gambling.
      For…[Read more]

    Hello everyone, I am new here. I have had a challenge with online gambling for several years, my highlight was that I did not gamble at all in 2021 yet made up for this good thing by playing excessively this year and losing more than some people make in a year. I am ashamed of this. The positive is that I just re-installed Gamban on my computer…[Read more]
