Community 3 months agoI need a sponsor. I need someone to talk to when I want to gamble or possibly do some sort of step work with. I am a legit impulsive gambler, I go when I am ahead with money and lose it all but never really ahead because I owe thousands back from borrowing from gambling. I don’t just go for fun.

For me, what helps right now is hearing other people’s stories and realizing this is a real problem. Not just for me . Now that I can see that for others as well, I am kinda like hey ” I have that problem too” now I can work on trying to solve it. Not sure how yet myself but I am hoping if I fill my mind with the red flags of gambling causing so…[Read more]

I am the same. This is my first time on this site. First time admitting how serious my problem is this week and first time trying to figure out how to quit…mine is more impulsive or binge gambling. Which now I kinda recognize the pattern. I try controlled gambling, small bets etc like I am teasing myself before I just get to the point it’s isn’t…[Read more]

You must cut the past away and walk free from it
Hi Tam, so sorry to hear about your struggles. I am also in the same boat so I doubt I would be an appropriate sponsor but if you are ever wanting to chat, you are welcome to reach out.
