So glad to see you have three weeks! I’ll be hitting 30 days in a couple of days and wanted to be sure to be back to give you a virtual high-five on your 30-day day.

I’ve decided to leave this site because it now makes me feel lonelier. But I’m wishing everyone the best.

Day 9. Battling a sudden urge, so decided to come make note of it here instead of giving into it. That’s all.

8 days since my last bet. Feels like 8 years ago — which is one of the reasons I tend to slip – I forget the pain so quickly. So I’m coming here to remind myself of my commitment not to forget this time,

Oh, Amy, I’m so sorry you’re going through so much all at once. I’ve only made it 7 days at this point and can relate to a lot of what you’re feeling. I’ve been profoundly lonely and depressed this last year and gambling was the only thing that seemed to give me any relief from my own thoughts. Problem is after the initial relief it would bea…[Read more]

Yeah, it can be really sickening when I find myself right back in another mess of my own creation. I’m going to really try to stay away this time and I’m hoping checking in here everyday to chat with people like you will help.

Very brave of you to tell your parents, Amy. Good for you.

2 1/2 gamble-free days so far. Just wanted to make note of a thought that just popped into my head because it’s thoughts like these that have effectively sucked me back in before. The thought was simply… “who cares.” Who cares if I lose more money I don’t have? Who cares if I continue to spiral down? Who cares if gambling today would m…[Read more]

I relate 100%. I just passed the 24 hour mark since I last gambled and am hoping I can stop doing even greater damage to myself and face my loneliness and other problems head on by coming to this page instead.

I’m new here, too, and rooting for you. This lockdown has been really hard.

I’m rooting for you. I went down the road again and sure wish I hadn’t. Good move coming to this site instead, I think.

It’s only been 22 hours since I last gambled and I am desperate to stop once and for all. While I’ve put up many safeguards – banning myself all over the place — i found a site a couple months ago and have been spiraling out of control ever since. I finally accepted reality that I was not going to win back my recent devastating losses and banne…[Read more]

I gambled online for 30 years, in April 2018, here in the UK, we have a one site does all blocker set up by the gambling commission, I had the option to exclude for 6 months, 12 months or 5 years, I hit the 5 year button in a moment of clarity and disgust with myself and like you, spent hours trying to find a way around it. I am glad to say I…[Read more]

Just to clear things up and appease the sceptics, my 30 years of gambling started at physical casinos, followed by online when it became available.

Me, too. So far I’ve made it 22 hours. I’ll root for us both.

I’m so sorry. I just did the same thing. Only difference is the $9000 I “won” and then played away in a few hours didn’t come close to covering the hundreds of thousands I’ve lost. KC is right – our brains are wired to do this. I was doing pretty good staying away from the casinos for a few years and fell back into a few months ago. I’ve bann…[Read more]
Thank you so much
