You can Pm in private if you need to .. I am not a therapist just an average joe who struggle with compulsive slot gambling

Thank you. Not sure what to replace it with. 🙈 I find I do ok for a while then suddenly I can’t stop. I hate myself and I’m letting everyone down. I feel the more I try to stop the more I’m drawn to it like one last time. But for now my last time was today!

Hi Scott
Sounds like my story back a few years ago.
You posted the things that you have done so far and I too did those things except like you I hadn’t tried Gamblers Anonymous.
But when I finally admitted I was powerless over my gambling and started going to GA meetings did my life start to change.
Hope you will read and take to heart this…[Read more] -
