Hi names victor. 28 and spinning my wheels. Got a girlfriend I've been with for almost 6 yrs on and off mostly because I would lie about my addiction or I would let my stress of debt ruin what we had together. I'm at rock bottom every day I see more bills piling up and I'm always trying to get the quick answer by making some extra cash gambling. I used to be avid poker ...

Over 6 months since my last bet and I now wonder where I ever found the time to gamble before. As well as wasting thousands chasing an impossible dream I lost weeks of my life to gambling. The toll this took on my mental and physical health was immeasurable, unlike the pages and pages demonstrating my gambling losses within my credit card and bank statements.

One of the key things for me to start, and ...

hey guys so im going to bore you with my story but hope to get some help....

I am seeing far too much useless chatter about urges, inability to control ourselves and I can't do it.

You can do it! Trust me, it isn't easy but the rewards are phenomenal!
There are many on here who are succeeding with abstinence and are far better off today!
No matter what happens you can beat this if you want it bad enough.

Cant find your thread dude. Don't. You'll gamble the money away. The only way you should get a loan to repay the debts is if you tell your wife or gf about your problem and get her to do it for you. You need to tell someone you can trust about your problem. I fear you will lose money when you have access to it. You shouldn't be handling money at all son. You should ...

Here is a part of my story that I have not posted yet . It is an issue all in itself , but it is part of how I came to be here and I want to put it in writing perhaps to help me deal with it . I have never told anyone this tale .

I lived 45 years of my life and never gambled . I had no interest in it and ...

Ill make this quick and painless but I need help. Im in my early 30's. I just got married 2 weeks ago and I need to get my life together. Ive always been a gambler,I've always known I've had a problem. And I have made many attempts to stop gambling with only very short term success. And when I fall, I fall hard. I know my story isnt much different than most but I feel ...

Just wanted to post because I am having a rough day. It does help to read on here, and I'm keeping strong so far, BUT, I have had a horrible urge today. It's all I've been thinking about for hours.

I'm 66 days gf and don't want to restart, so posting to keep myself honest.

Trying to find something to do, been cleaning and laundry, but some days are harder than others.

I wish it ...

I started gambling when i was 21, two years ago. I think about gambling at least once a week ever since. Is it bad im thinking about it so much? I just went last week and i am thinking about ...
