I have been unable to concentrate on anything and know it’s time to stop. I keep winning big but lose everything back. Thinking of” what I could have “ is the most difficult. Though realistically I never had anything because I can never quit until I’m broke. I feel like these early steps are the hardest but know it’s time to stop for good
Hi
In time I would understand that the gambling addiction and my obsessions was just the symptoms that I was emotionally vulnerable, the emotional triggers indicated that I was vulnerable and reacted in some very unhealthy ways.
Each time I went gambling was very much fear based.
Keep with the recovery program and you will be abale to hel your self live your life with out gambling.
Every time I gambled I simply made things much worse.
More lies and more pains on myself.
The gambling establishments never hurt me I hurt myself.
The gambling establishments never made me lie I did it because I was so filled with my fears.
Love healing and peace to everyone.

Hello,
I have the same problem. I can start playing roulette w/ a few hundred dollars & be up & end up losing it all. It doesn’t matter what limits I place, I don’t adhere to them. I have put my family & myself in serious financial trouble. I also have problems w/ OCD & I am starting to believe that is a factor too. Will it ever be possible for me to gamble & have fun like a normal person? Without gambling, how in the world am I going to get back the $100k I have in debt now? I don’t know what to do... Please advise.
Hi roulette_loser_17,
It seems ludicrous that you are suggesting that you fix your $100k debt problem with the gambling that has caused the debt problem in the first place. The problem and the solution are two very different things. The reason why you think gambling is the solution is probably because you are in denial and deluded by the addiction and want to still be in action.
Kind regards
