    I have racked up so much debt it’s embarrassing. I have given myself a year to pay it off and I am working toward that. I make a lot of money and I also think that’s a part of the problem.

    OMG I lost $14K this last week and I feel sick about it. I can’t do it anymore. I have lost $150K this year. Just pitiful.

    • This is literally me Pearlie. I won and lost 22k in a course of 4 days. After I spent it all I got myself back into all the debts I paid off on day one of four. I sincerely wish you the best on your recovery. Also, thank you for sharing this. It made me feel much less alone in my situation…. ❤️

    Love this. I just signed up to pursue my masters degree as I am better focused when I have something to pour my attention into plus I want that degree.

    I want to quit too. I have made the decision to quit all forms of gambling and I have shared this with my husband for his support.

    I felt the same way. I spoke to my husband bout it today. I am being open with him and he understands that I have a problem. The fact that you are here is a good sign that you want help. You can get through this.
