    I am so thankful to God that I haven’t gambled in 5 months. I had a gambling habit of roughly $1500-$2500 a month, mostly online gambling sites, that wreaked havoc in my life. The first thing I did was permanently self exclude myself from the online casinos. It was extremely hard to do, but, I did it. It’s a sobering reminder when you try to…[Read more]

    • I have just lost 3000 that I didn’t have. I’m so upset and just want to stop! I have no way to pay all my debt back. I literally didn’t sleep all night! It’s 5:15 am and I’ve been up over 24 hours. 24 hours of playing online casino and stressing and praying to win my money back. I am digging my hole so deep there’s no getting out😢

    • You are smart to stop👍🏻

God has set me free personally from other addictions I carried for many years as well. I am currently believing in Faith that in God’s perfect time and will I t…[Read more]

    Hello. I have been a compulsive gambler for many years. It initially began and brick and mortar casinos. I would go there one of twice a week and spend inordinate amounts of money. Wouldn’t pay my bills. Would lie to my husband and friends. Maxed out my credit cards. Borrow money to replace the money I had lost. I stopped for a while when…[Read more]

    Today is the day that I am stopping gambling completely. I have self-excluded and closed out all of my online casino apps. I actually feel lighter. I’m praying that I can recover from all the losses. My gambling has put my marriage, my home, my children all in peril. God has blessed me multiple times and rescued me from my losses, just for me…[Read more]

    GM Ladies, I hope you both slept well. I slept pretty good. I’m feeling kind of down as today would have been the day I would have received that $5600.00.

      I feel you on this one. Whenever I see my win/loss statement, I just break down and cry and tell myself how stupid I am. Across 4 casino apps that I had, I could easily made $50k-60k winnings if only I had the courage to stop. I won a lot but I just kept going until I lost all my winnings and lost some more. I feel disappointment for myself. I…[Read more]
