Congratulations! I gambled today so tomorrow will be day 1 for me. I can no longer use a debit card online. I will try to follow you, for mutual support. Thanks
Hi Steph, I thought it was short for Steve. My apologies. I have been gambling today. I drained my account. I have a hard time not doing it. I’m addicted to games. I’m trying to repay my debts too. In the same fashion,I’m still gambling. I tried online therapy,quitting, and now I’m stuck. It doesn’t stick. The help doesn’t seem to sink in. Anxiety is real, I want to quit. In GA they started. and did it with someone a stranger. That’s how it started. Would you be willing to pledge with me not to gamble this week with me? I don’t have money card saved. So I cannot gamble or play games, my substitute.
I started gambling because I had other problems, just as GA says, please respond.I would like to partner up, as I feel and have been told it cannot be done alone?
I even gambled before surgery once and with a broken finger.Hi! I don’t your history, but if you want to do this together, I will do it with you. Now I am going to read through your journal. I have been gambling 9 years. I need support. Would you be willing to do that so we can be a success not a failure. I’m considering quitting, and tried many attempts.
Well, I’m enjoying my niche with pipe tobacco. The surgeries brought on a pain n my breathing mechanism and the spasms is what led to start smoking. Life changes life? I’m focusing on my addiction but truly I can’t write today, I’m disappointed in my behaviors,and other, and those that are just like me! My triggers today would be addiction…..addictions because of others who inflicted harm on me and others who took my daily routines away from me. I’m thankful for my morning breath, and my paycheck. Good luck to fellow gamblers!
Well! I’m learning to control things. It’s not easy. I’m releasing stress, and realizing that personal addiction is a part of my life. I went out in the car and felt free yesterday. In short ten years ago I started, a vacation with emergency surgery. Today I’m not that person. I can be free to walk and not fear pain! I went to Walmart, the tobacco store, and a dollar tree. Then I let go . We came home. Even being 10 more miles to our h*place, we turned back home. It was nice. But I was happy .to know I did not go and enjoyed yams and cheeseburgers. I feel anew and actually cleaned etc. Gambling seems like an addiction to others some hide it well. Overall, I’m taking a second look, and don’t feel like telling much more.
Hello. I’m learning about rehab, and it sucks to do it this way. At the time I started gambling, it brought on my fears. If, I don’t sound real, I’m real. I have a disability and this makes me gambler more, but I lost control, and when I lost that control, I couldn’t stop. This address anxiety and real stuff, I feel if I can’t find anything wrong with me I continue without control. It’s finding yourself, is the first step. I’m not sure if this helps, but it’s as close to the norm I can come, without giving up too much of my physical, coping, or emotional baggage. Good luck. I hope this helped, indulge in something that is less addicted focused, things that are successful. I could not express these fears anywhere else.
I’ll take it to the man, upstairs, I got things to do. Please, don’t encourage me to forfeit my income to any nonlegitimitate entities or unrealistic opportunities please hear my prayers! Goodbye
Hi. Yesterday, I made it 3:45 w; no temptations, today I seriously doubt I’ll make it 24 hours. I’m not playing cryptogram with my words. I had a problems with my hands and fingers, I think the gambling is a 2′ disability to the 1′ disability. I think gambling is a way I chose to unlock misery of my chosen. Today, if anyone reads this. I appreciate your help with any first choices you have made towards coping with addiction at anytime, that you are truly willing to share?:-(
Hi Wally! I’m an addict, how can we cure this disease? I have things to hope for, buy, dream for? I cannot change my addiction, but I can control it. What are we going to do?
DollyI was nice, I wish I could so, I’m trying for myself, and my sanity, and much more. I can’t imagine, what people have gone through for centuries, now I know. It’s crazy, but win or lose, it’s a loss.
I think I heard the story about the potholes, when I was young. Great. I’m finding that instead of potholes I’m trying ways to reach out. Now maybe I’m in the first phase, but I’ve been triggered by my responses, and I have to manage that. So, today I went from gambler to problem, product manager. I know I can’t fix anything, only myself, someone reminded me that I’m more important than any of the problems I have.

When I found out we couldn’t gamble online it was a trigger. I remembered when I had the wisdom to know not to do it, and less desire for sure. I even looked up the logo too. I lso find that donating money, or anything else I may want, is triggered, money is everywhere, I cannot avoid that. I must think of this before I start gambling again. Thanks for wisdom GT.
Ok, I was not even thinking of not gambling, during isolation, ntil my bf said how it’s been the longest I haven’t gambled. I have not paid any money to gamble or games today. It’s is the least I can say I hope I helped someone, because I am sure those casinos are reopening. I’m thankful for my bf, and he is thankful too. So, I am not paying any casino, lotto, or play club, not even solitaire. Eh? I need time to heal, I’m hurting from this .No apps, no when I’m online, I may have been on a secluded island with my device, electricity, and internet. I am disabled 9% in my hand, and somehow I use gambling as the easiest activity I can find. I’m going to start reading more of the forum, and participating, that way. I know I’m being heard, I want to be another person, a new person, and a genuine human being, and not selfisolating in isolation. Thankyou, my friends, I like you.
I was looking this up recently, and compulsion is only 9% of the problem. So, I feel better, what else do I act like, or do? I drink too much coffee, sulk, I’m unresponsible, I have slot of faults, good I read your piece. Yeah, isn’t it funny to blame something, I’ve felt that way. Don’t sulk, enjoy your evening, your free , one day at a time:-$
