Hi everyone I'm at the end of a long hard road. I thought I was 6 months ago but after 80ish days without a bet and life looking up I fell back in. 3 months and another 15 20k of loses and I finally felt the bottom. I never understood how someone could commit suicide but I've now seen it
I wouldn't and couldn't do that I hope as I am the father of a new baby and an my little 2 year old man. I just mean the thought finally crossed my mind but I refuse that in every way. This addiction is so brutal and controlling it blows my mind. I used to be happy healthy and happy. Now the only time I'm happy is for an hour after I get home to see my family bit mostly after I drink and take sleeping pills before bed thinking of a few hours of peace. I will post more tomorrow of my story but I just wanted to start by setting up an account. I'm also in ga on and off. Now it's on and I will also post here daily. I wish you all a day without gambling have a good night.

Hi veenie11 thanks for your reply I really appreciate it. I know I have a ton to lose and I'm working on ways to change my thought patterns and try to get past the urges to gamble. The good news is that I believe I am really done this time. I can't keep on like this. My wife was showing me pictures of when our son was born and he's 2 now I look at least 5 years older if not 8. This disease is horrible and kills you quick. I will no longer give in to the urges to gamble. I wish you well and hope you are doing well.

You don't have to live in hell. You will need help. Get help. As gambling addicts -- we lose ourselves and it is as if we are possessed by the addiction.
It will take some time for your brain to clear and for you to see w/ your REAL eyes.
You have so much to live for. Wishing you the best on this path to a really good life. A life w/out gambling.
