Here is my problem I'm dealing with...

I have Asperger's Disorder, so I don't socialize much or find much value in socializing about anything not interesting, or making small talk. I don't have many friends and need to experience an emotional high every now and then.

Generally, I'm pretty good about sticking to a limit when I go gambling, but I generally feel guilty because I know it is stupid. Whenever I have some spare ...

Hi.

I'm new here. I revealed to my wife that I had a problem around 6 weeks ago. I also revealed my debts of around £4000.

I have not gambled since that day and entered into a repayment plan to clear my debts.

However, when my wife gets angry or stressed she says things like "I wish you had more money", "we need more money now!". My mind instantly thinks that the way to get ...

So I've encounter an interesting situation at work. My new boss came over to me earlier this week and was discussing his weekend. It was his bday and his wife and him got into a huge argument because he was out late with his friends and he wanted an "objective" opinion on who was right. Then he gets into talking where he was and what they were doing with a bit of excitement. I freeze ...

Hello every one. I am Charlie and I am 20 years old from the united kingdom. As a youngster I didn't ever see my self even stepping foot inside the bookies. And when I first did. At 18 years old. I never imagined that I would have got so hooked to it. Originally I would go on the interactive machines and spend like £2 and would be over the moon walking out with £2.20 haha. ...

The role of religion was brought up to me in a private message and it made me wonder what role it has for others. For me I think that God didn't help me quit, I had to do that for myself. What I do think God did was give me the necessary tools to quit.

I mean, if God was going to listen to my prayers and magically make me not want to gamble, why ...

Things are slowly getting better and better . While I have a long way to go in repairing the damage my gambling has done , I am making a good start .

The urge to gamble is much less frequent but even when it does happen , it is much easier to distract myself now .

I am handling the stress of daily life ( dead car battery today - oh joy ...

I, as many posters on the forum, am from PA. My run started with a trip to A.C. in early 1980's. I stated after my first trip there, "If I lived there, I'd have to limit myself to $20/wk" on slots. I'd visit once a year, never winning. I found online casinos before they were "outlawed", my $20 deposit would turn into 5- $20 deposits, and more. I won- sometimes - broke most times.Still I ...
