    Hello there it’s been a while and that’s been because I’ve been gambling. I mentioned before how it’s does. It feel good when I come here then go back to go away. I guess I’m not really trying., but recently I bought some tickets and threw some of them out before I paid for them same thing $40 $50 and I win 2 to 4 dollars. I was seeing a counselor…[Read more]

    Wow, five days I am back to day 2 for scratches. Way to go in your success. It’s got a feel good.

    Hello there yes, our significant others do feel it as well. I know for me that sometimes I want to avoid discussing it because it hurts too much to have that person told me to stop I want to, but it’s hard to have someone push me.. the best times are when they say just talk to me about it it’ll be OK. I’ve learned that rather be a part of it then…[Read more]

    I think we’ve all had that moment I know for sure I have I thought well even post a Message? Sitting with disgust in my car after losing over and over again stereo head wondering what did I just do again adding onto the thousands of dollars I put into this, it’s likely a great moment. Maybe that tells yourself I need to stop and think about all…[Read more]

    Thanks I hope so. Just giving you a little worse more coughing and tiredness but that happened last summer when I got it as well.. having to stay inside, I couldn’t buy any tickets plus the lottery I couldn’t buy two tickets. Of course my numbers did not come in so I have experienced no winning without buying a ticket is kind of the easy way out…[Read more]

    • Keep recovering quickly Steve! It was another day free from gambling for me also yesterday. I’m going to keep that rolling.
      I’m happy not that you are sick but that you didn’t feel like getting any tickets!

    Here reading to get some encouragement and will to stop really tired from work and waiting for a ct scan of abdomen to see what the pain is from. That and toxic work environment makes me think I deserve to play lol always an emotion to rationalize it eh? Car accident settlement omg that’s going to be a tempting time
    Be well I’ll be back

    • Steve… so sorry to hear about you car accident.. hope you are okay. I know what you mean if you’re talking about receiving money re settlement of accident. That actually happened to me… For me it took months to get the settlement though with lawyers etc. But I would suggest if it is a large amount, so you aren’t tempted to gamble it… put a…[Read more]

    Kabobra many people have been there what stops me is thinking about my partner with feel after my suicide that usually stops me but I have no plan. I think it’s just despondency comes over me.
    But I need to say reach out to a call center when you feel like this or a counselor or therapist or minister or your doctor when you feel suicidal, please c…[Read more]

    I meant to say milling around and regret, and how do I change that regret into recovery?

    • Regret can be a lot to carry around . It sounds to me that you feel you need to buy a ticket so you don’t miss out on a win. There have been thousands of people that have won on tickets before you ever started buying them. There will be thousands of people that will win on tickets after you stop buying them. You don’t care. The people selling the…[Read more]

    My drive to buy tickets feels pretty much the same as a feeling I get when I need to go back home and check to see if I left the taps running or or a burner left on. Same obsessive thinking which drives via to go back to my apartment with a very real need to check the tap or a burner every time I go back I feel stupid because I know it’s not g…[Read more]

    • It is an obsessive disease… sometimes no rationality to what we think and do….

    Hi serenity yeah the dream thing was someone else saying that they saw me win big a big jackpot, that was obviously too much for me to handle. I think my dream is to not be so stupid.

    • 🙂 well it’s obvious you’re not stupid.
      That person really shouldn’t have said what they said. Keep strong❤️

    Hi Lindy, thank you I do beat myself up over this. I’m trying to turn the power. I guess you might call it into a positive one to stop or at least slow down and feel sane. Thank you very much.

    Saying hi from the sidelines I guess. Weeks ago someone told me about a dream they had about seeing me win a jackpot, weak as I am just hearing that offered so much desire to gamble. What is filling out betting slips for the various tickets it’s almost like I’m watching myself do it with her why are you doing this in the back of my mind it’…[Read more]
