THello everyone
first off...i think i gamble cuz i ain't got no friends. I have a beautiful wife n two lovely kids but im a hair strand away from losing them. Apart from them 3, i have no one else i can to...but everytime i talk to them its a bunch of /////// lies from my mouth...all due to gambling. I've been a gambler for almost 10 yrrs now.....i lost a lot of friends due to this habit. Now u wana hang around, talk to them but they ignore me....i have a gambling disease; who would wana hang around with a sick person right? I have a problem n its time to fix it. As sad as it sounds im desperate to make new friends who gets what goes thru an addict's head. This day forward i ain't spending a penny on gambling and im hoping to make new friends here. Lets help each other cuz if we are our problem...we are our own solution.
Good luck my friend good to see you here those 3 are the most important mate don't forget it u need nothing else,keep fighting this evil disease.

Hi Helpmeout
Well done for admitting you have a problem and finding your way to this site. You will get plenty of support and encouragement here.
I too have been gambling for over 10 years and find that friends have fallen by the wayside but that was not of their doing. My whole life seemed to be engulfed in gambling and I no longer wanted to socialise. Now, because of debts, I am unable to.
I have been gamble free for over 2 months and concentrating on pastimes that I used to enjoy.
I think, when we stop gambling we need to learn to love ourselves again. We are not bad people, just lost our way a bit. Once we realise that and our self-confidence returns then we can socialise again for then we will have more to offer to others. In the grip of gambling we feel worthless and push others away.
Keep reading the posts and stay strong, you have so much to get better for and a brighter future will be yours.
