    • Hi Nicole
      Day one is better than day 0 🙂
      Good for you for returning here.
      You mentioned you are in Vegas. I haven’t been there I’m guessing it’s beautiful.
      I know there’s a lot of avenues too gamble there. That doesn’t make it easier for sure.

    I hear you! I’m contemplating working a part time job to keep from having any free time.

    I think you can join a virtual meeting in others states, I am sure someone will jump in here to help guide both of us. But in the meantime I hope you keep yourself busy and post away. At least that is what I am doing right now because evening time is the worst time for me.

    Thank you for the comment, My high is video poker.. I live in Las Vegas and cant go anywhere around here.
    I previously stayed away from all Casinos and wouldn’t step foot in one to eat or see movies. So is a daily struggle for me right now. I can’t even hear someone talk about hitting a jackpot without my mind going crazy.

    Hi Tina,

    I really liked your post especially that you choose not to gamble. I think I’ll also try and adapt to that statement as it can give you back the power if you believe it can.
    Thank you!

    I have a compulsive gambling problem. I am here for support and to offer support. I’ve overcome this problem 4 times in the last 10 years and recently had another slip after 14 mos. of no gambling. I thought I would be able to gamble responsibly but it quickly turned out worse than all the other times. I am ashamed and embarrassed that I have g…[Read more]
