    Thank you, Sharon! I have taken a screenshot of the phone info so I can call in on Wednesday. I do try to make church that night, so might be a little late. I’m a mom, but my family is full of gamblers, so they make it all too easy to get away from my responsibilities.

    I’ve been on the site, one week night late, about 6 months ago. I decided I didn’t need a program, I could do it on my own.

    I am struggling. I have been gambling at a loss for all of 2021. I’ve never gambled to the point that it’s affected my budget, until this year. In previous years, I’ve had some string of luck that has saved me from the downward spiral that I am experiencing this year. I’ve taken out new loans, maxed out my credit cards and put off paying some…[Read more]

    • Hi, I began gambling to combat loneliness and it quickly became an addition that I’ve had for 26 years. I have done everything you have done and more. I’ve always considered myself to be a very strong person but gambling is a severe weakness. Admitting that my addition is strong than I am was my first step to asking for help. I am in a good…[Read more]
