    I stopped August 4th, had my husband change passwords deleted the app and I’m not going to lie it’s hard but I’m trying to find way to replace my habit. I felt like a woman who gets beat up by her violent partner and she comes back for more. It’s hard but I don’t feel the stress the shame or the lack of control.

    This is new to me too. I have never admitted that I had a problem until day I joined (few days ago) I come on here every time I get urges to play.

Good luck. 🙂

    Mel I tell myself the same thing! How the hell did I get here? Truth is, it’s fun. But what makes us get addicted? The thrill? The excitement? Is it worth the shame and guilt and yes the lies to ourselves and family? I’m so glad I joined this group. You are not alone!
