News of Gambling Addiction Forum

Hi everyone! It has been a long time since I last posted in this forum. For those that did not know my history, I was and STILL addicted to slot machines. I left the country which I was residing for the last 8 years hoping I could breathe out from my addiction. I indeed was gambling free for 6 months more or less. My dad bailed me out from my debts 6x amounting to 40k ...

I relapsed again. I went to a GA meeting last week, but even after that I went back to the casino twice and it hasn't even been 5 days since the meeting. I lost everything else I had left which wasn't much. I even had a sibling send money to my bank and lied to her to receive the money. It wasn't much but it felt like crap doing it.

I am about to pour ...

Hi All,

Not sure how i got to this point. I'm still fairly young but I am in a high amount of debt with nothing to show for it. Almost entirely down to gambling.

It's got severe over the past few months. And I'm disgusted at my lack of willpower and what this means for the future. I like to think I have the self control to stop, and I do for a couple of ...

OK, so I was reading here all evening last night (stayed home yay), my kids left for the day, husband is out of town working and I went to the bank to deposit my check. Then went 3 more times to withdraw that $$.. Ugh

Your stories here are helpful, but I feel I have no self control. How many times did any of you relapse until you finally were able to let it go? ...

Ive been on here before but under a different name. I go through periods where I have gambling under control but on occasions I just go daft and dont stop depositing. Im nowhere near the situation I was in years ago but I need to quit and quit for good. I hate gambling, so why cant I stop?

I can't really talk about my gambling at the moment as I feel a bit dead with no more emotions left.

I will come back again sometime this week and spill my story.

My story..I didn't start gambling until my mid forties...about 3 years now. I didn't even like gambling the 1st time I tried it for fun. I'm a responsible business owner mom to 3 children I have an extremely hard working husband who earns a very good living for our family. We have a child University. etc...I have got us so far in debt playing slot machines and then came the 1st confession 44 000 worth ...

Hello all ,

I really just think it's time to offload . I am a 40 year old male from London earning £250k plus a year , I am constantly in debt due to the horrible addiction . I have always managed to pay my bills and ensure a reasonable standard of living but my life and that of my family should be so much better than it is . Nobody knows the extent of ...

For anyone that remembers me, it's probably been 6-8 months since I've been on here. I'm sorry I've been so absent. I was selling my house and moving, and things were crazy.

For anyone that doesn't know or remember me, I am addicted to slots and scratch off tickets. I was at my low point back in 2013, about 56k in debt, 27k of that was credit cards, I had a credit score in the ...

I have to spend more time job searching. I need a better paying job to feel more stable, which will also help me continue to not gamble. Saturday & Sunday I am devoting time to job search.
