Community 9 months, 1 weeks agoToday is a new day and I want it to be a day without gambling. My choices have been bad because they were driven by my addiction to gamble.

Gambling was never going to save me from…[Read more]

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]

Community 9 months, 2 weeks agoHello again,
Ive gambled and lost all of my hard earned money for the month of July. I feel down and it had really has brought my energy low. I need to stop asap because I cant keep going this way. Its hard for me to accept where Im at and that is what drives me to keep playing. Its such addiction.-
I just commented but it’s not showing….
The reason you’re driven to gamble is that this addiction is really difficult. There’s part of us that unfortunately remembers the fun of playing without the losing. All you can do is try. Maybe find something to occupy your mind elsewhere.. like hobby or volunteering or ?? … take care … Lindy-
Thanks a lot for your message Lindy. I will keep myself occupied with tasks to stop thinking about gambling.

I broke down and went to gamble again to try to get my money back from 2 months ago and lost a lot. The biggest issue is that I do not have a job and was only able to work 16 hours in 2.5 weeks and I got desperate after being out of work for almost 2 years. It is always the same result when you gamble you lose 90% of the time and you always regret…[Read more]
Sorry to hear that Lou. I know that feeling of regret after losing very well. Im also going to make meetings too soon because eventhough Im sick and tired of losing and feeling that regret, Part of me still wants to win my money back too. I have to accept that Ill never get it back and it aint worth trying because you’re right 90% of the time I w…[Read more]
