    thanks Liberty
    for your words of encouragement. I used to go to gambling venues, but i then discovered online slot machines, and it has ruined me. there were no limits on what i could bet, there was no closing time, it was unrestricted in every way. i have no control, and now I have to rebuild my life. The shame, guilt, regret, and so many more emotions are enveloping me at the moment, but I hope this will pass. I really want to be rid of this, i have spent pretty much the last 24 hours looking, searching for answers and help on this and there doesnt seem to be that much available for cg’s. I am considering attending my first GA meeting, i am very scared about it, but then i think i have nothing left to lose, if i get something out of it- fantastic, if i dont, i will need to keep searching.

    i have had such a long day, just reflecting and taking stock of what i am. i really am going thru a horrible day. reading posts of others gives some hope, but i am scared i wont be successful at it. I really really want to beat this, and i need to. i am too scared to tell any family (i am single so i mean my mum or sister- who would both be very harsh and unforgiving and lack any empathy). i think of them finding out and it causes anxiety. I wish i could tell them and still feel that everything would be ok, but i am not going to put myself in that position where they break me. i think all of you that have supporting family are so fortunate, i wish i had that.

    Thanks Fritz, i appreciate your message. I am considering attending a GA meeting, but not sure on that yet. I am sill looking to see what it is about. I am starting with the online thing as that feels safe for me at the moment.

    Feeling really anxious, cant stop thinking of what i have done/lost. how i can get out of this hole i am in. the feeling of being alone is at times overbaring. when i am with family, the shame and guilt is awful, they dont know what i am, and if they did, they wouldnt understand and be really judgmental towards me. its an awful feeling.
