Be cautious on who you talk to about this problem.
I don’t wish for you to lose friends over being transparent.
It may come back to haunt you…possibly effecting your job. -

It is very difficult to sway a gambler into logical thinking…especially in the midst of chasing.
The debts keep compounding…. snowballing.
I know… I have lived it and regret all that I have lost.
Please continue to talk about this horrible addiction with others.
You have taken the baby steps …talking, discussing, listening, reading……[Read more] -

odds are in favor of the house and could be worse in 12 months. -

I was always a loner growing up. Never close to my parents or siblings. It was a relief talking to her. I am in debt without a job and old. Have to start over and try to survive. I thought I could make a living gambling but I realized too late its not possible. The casino trap get you a win and you think it’s possible to maintain but that’s the…[Read more]

I think it’s natural to wish for something better. Some people buy the odd ticket. Go out gambling maybe once a year.
I don’t know I guess for us gamblers we decide to take things like gambling to the extreme. get caught up in a dream that rarely comes true Wanting to be the exception to the rule. It’s expensive to find out we are not.

Community 2 months, 3 weeks agoToday I told my sister about my gambling among other issues I have. Desperate to pull myself out. I made her cry. She doesn’t deserve the pain and disappointment.

Michael good for you sharing with your sister your struggles. She clearly loves you and had empathy for you
What did that make you feel?
I think you are on the right track.
A gambling addiction is a painful one. Emotionally, financially and even on our physical health.
I wish you stream your recovery.-

Good for you Michael, gambling addiction is a hard one to beat, without a support system it’s gonna be even more daunting. You did the right thing. Her pain and disappointment of learning about this will be smaller than when she had to find out more serious consequences resulting from your gambling addiction.
In case you are looking for self-help…[Read more]

Despair….credit card debt. No friends. No one to intervene…no job…pushing myself to create as many opportunities…have to work and earn enough to be stable …to be productive again. Gambling put me in a dream world…no goals no future ..damn I’m dumb and dumber
Even as we speak im watching Mt gameshow online and thinking of placing a bet, I was thinking of borrowing money from my friend but instead I told her I have a gambling problem and that I can’t stop thinking about gambling, my mentality change instead of asking her for money I stopped myself from having the opportunity to borrow money.
I know now she won’t lend me any money for gambling

Good advice. Michael
