I’m here if you need me Jenny

Good for you. Something that’s helpful for me is a counselor that specializes in gambling addiction. A good counselor can help you understand what the root causes of the addiction are. It took a while for me to realize my addiction was deep rooted in the way I was raised and my emotions were discounted by my mom. I carried that into every r…[Read more]

I’m glad that you recognize that playing online is back tracking. Even playing completely free game until payday is the escape I crave. I learned this the hard way. Keep coming back for support

You found a good place for help if you truly want it. Many people are here to support you

I have been told by counselors that most people don’t make it this many years as a compulsive gambler. I understand and have lost many people who I cared about throughout my life because of this addiction. I tried to get help 36 years ago. It wasn’t available. If you love anyone it is available now. Fight for it. Fight for them because in the end…[Read more]

Kenl you are an inspiration. I’m sorry bepop felt that way. Maybe not ready or needing another avenue. I was taken aback when I read that that . Please don’t take it personally. It sounds like you didn’t but please don’t give it a thought you’re an amazing light to us that are struggling. Thank you

Lenor I think you mistook this. It’s from GA big book . It’s not directed at you personally. It’s for everyone on this site who has a gambling addiction. It is directed to each and everyone of us. I can tell you that the fact you reacted as you did you belong here with us. When we struggle with our addiction we sometimes look at everything helpf…[Read more]

First and most positive step I have been told by councilors is take care of your health. I think it’s good you took time off because you are aware you are not healthy. I have been concerned because you really are putting in a lot of work hours and I have done that also. It does cause danger eventually so I’m glad you took time off. I want you to…[Read more]
