    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

    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

    • Thanks Dan
      I have been on sites like Gamtalk for years and have learnt not take posts to heart.
      Hoping Bepop will find what works for him in Smart Recovery as Bugzzy shared.

    God definitely tries to help. I’m glad you we’re open to his sign. Unfortunately so many do not listen when he tries to warn us. Including myself so many times

    I was gambling thirty years ago at a horse track.
    I said please god during a race. The man sitting next to me that I had seen many times at the track told me God isn’t there to help. He explained to me that the addiction is evil and that we are giving ourselves to the devil when we choose to gamble. I believe he was correct. Everything good is G…[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]
