Thanks Diamond. I am grateful for every day because 2 years ago I was declared brain dead from a suicide attempt. I’ve been through so much and it never seems to end for me but I’m not ungrateful just tired. My life has taken me through more than I can handle at times.

  I’m so sorry Robin. You must possess an enormous amount of strength and courage to have lived through all of that. Your job must not be done here on earth. Any ideas of what your purpose might be??

  I know it’s tough but you can’t move into the future if you’re stuck in the emotions of the past. Depression and self pity are low level feelings that separate you from the life you want. Don’t rely on your outer world to change your inner world. The change has to start from within yourself first. I don’t care how horrible your situation…[Read more]

My issue is slots but not online. In a casino or anywhere that has slot machines and yes I have self excluded. I’m just trying to get through a really tough month right now. Never want to do this again!…
Thank you and hugs back.

Cried so much I have no tears left to cry.

  I know it hurts. The pain is what is motivating me to not gamble. I never want to feel like that again. You will come out of this stronger than you were. Be patient and hang in there and stay on the path of not gambling. Everything will balance out with time.

  Readyto quit is right. The pain will help keep you away. Is it slots online? Have you self excluded. That’s the only thing before that could keep me away.
  After sometime it’s easier for me to stay away. Not saying I don’t think about it. About a month ago I tried to signup with a site. It wouldn’t let me. Then I spoke with a re…[Read more]

I feel the same but after losing a whole months check and not having money to even eat on for the month much less pay bills or have money for Christmas I swear as God is my witness I’ll never gamble again. Sometimes it takes getting to the bottom of the bottom and I’m there. I’m very sorry to hear about your father. I pray he comes out well. We…[Read more]

Anxiety is bad trying to figure out how I’m going to make it this next month. Trying to get another job. Waiting is terrible not knowing what to do about bills…etc….gambling destroys lives and I hate it!
- Serenity replied 4 months, 3 weeks ago
  
  Hi Robin I’ve had a few months like you are experiencing. It’s not a fun place to be. I hope you are able to land the job you are looking for. You are doing what you can to rectify the situation.
  Gambling it’s almost like we hate ourselves putting ourselves through what we do.
  We are human and we make mistakes.

  You can do it. Stay strong and remember the pain when you are tempted.

I understand your pain well. I’ve been battling this for years. I just self excluded statewide and give over control of my bebit card to my dad after losing a whole months check. Taking it day by day myself. At my lowest I’ve ever been so don’t know what else I can do. Good luck on your journey. I’m here if you need to talk.

I am done with gambling for good. It’s just so frustrating and shamefully to be in the position I’m in. Thank you for your advice.

Gambling is a horrible addiction. It’s hard to sleep after such a big loss. Only thinking about how to make it for the next month. Anxiety is through the roof. Just want to fall asleep and never wake up.
- Readytoquit replied 4 months, 4 weeks ago
  
  I can relate to all of those feelings. There’s nothing we can do about the past but learn from it. The money we lost is gone and gambling will never get it back for us. Accept that its all gone, Accept that this is where we have to start from and forgive ourselves for the self destructive choices weve made. Hang in there, things will get better w…[Read more]

  You nailed by your words. The feeling is unbearable. When I’m walking out the casino. I always say to myself. I didn’t want to go through that again. Then I do.

There are no gamblers anonymous groups where I live but I have looked into doing Zoom meetings. I’m kinda old fashioned so I have to learn about all this stuff but I’m trying Thank you.

Thank you. I just put in a state exclusion application online. I have to get this under control. I’m in such a mess right now. It helps to talk to people who understand though.

I truly need help with my gambling addiction. I lost a very siUbstainsal amount of money last night that has left me helpless and not knowing where to turn. Any advise would help. I’ve been battling this for years and I’m at the lowest point ever. God bless each of you who knows the feeling.
- Readytoquit replied 5 months ago
  
  Hang in there Im in a financial hole too. Come up with a plan. Everything will be alright and you will get out of your hole but you have to stop gambling right now. Remember the pain it had brought your life when you want to gamble again. Become sick and tired of that pain.
