    • Keep those thoughts in your mind… your husband and kids… That’s great motivation . I realized too that my family was much more important than gambling. Take care … Lindy

    Been good for over two weeks and the. Today blew it! I am feeling shameful. I wonder why I don’t remember this feeling when that urge shows it’s face

    • Start again today ❤️You’re not alone

    I feel worthless, undeserving, sick, incapable, desperate and overwhelmed.

    • You are not alone. Im here. And I’m trying to do this too. I hope you find help and start to not gamble anymore one day at a time. Thinking of you ❤️

    • Hi Nicole
      A lady in my home Gamblers Anonymous meeting says ” Compulsive Gamblers aren’t bad people trying to be good or stupid people trying to get smart. We are sick people trying to get well.
      Hope you will find some counseling in your area and a gamblers anonymous group.
      Wishing you well
