I feel like I must log this to remind myself of how much of a gambling problem I have.

I will keep it short and sweet.

I went to the casino and lost and then borrowed a slight advance on my paycheck and won pretty big (big to me).

I started with a few hundred and won up to 5k. I hit many bonuses. I began to lose a bit so I left with just ...

Today I confirmed something about myself that I already knew. That is, I have no self control when it comes to gambling.

Times have been really rough lately. My car broke down and is done for. Some of the friends that I thought were close friends switched up on me. And of course, I lost somewhere between three to five grand in the last one to two months in the relapse I've had with the ...

Had to throw myself into overdrive for the last five days. My position with my new job has me picking up most of my shifts at the last minute. I absolutely love it! It's an exciting and fast paced environment that is stressful, has unbelievably crazy hours, and the pay isnt great, but I love it! I am glad the shifts were available, because it does help to preoccupy a terribly devastated state of mind. ...

Well well well. Where do I start? It's been quite some time since I have been on this site. To be honest, I forgot about this website, but fortunately, it crossed my mind today, as I am in need of venting.

Hi folks.
The next time I have a gambling relapse I will shoot my left testicle off.

Then after that i will shoot off the right one. After that I will have no more relapses.

My solution for gambling relapses is extreme but it works. (the ladies will have to find their own solution)

I am curious what do you think about people that are streaming when they play online casino. I have also a gambling addiction. I want to stop again after 6 years because I don't win anymore. When I win money it is never enough so I loose it all again and again. I have no debt but if I go on with gambling I will destroy everything, my relationship, my finances, my whole life. It ...

I was talking to my wife the other day and she was telling me about this guy who gambles everyday. Anyway, while I was driving to work today I was thinking about this guy and automatically assumed he must have an addiction, but over the years I have learned that it is dangerous to always 'assume', so I began to question my assumption.

Is it possible to gamble everyday and not be addicted? To gamble ...

It started as just a everyone and then thing. I quit using cocaine and crystal cold turkey and took up gambling in order to deal with my urges. For some reason it feels more difficult to quit this then it was the drugs and partying. Everyday I think about it and everyday there’s a struggle. I tell myself I’ve been through worse, which is true but it’s still lingering. I hear slot machine in my ...

Hi
I have never gambled in a casino. All I have done is betted on sports.
I was just wondering which is harder to quit! As far as sports betting is concerned I am on day 3 and things are not that tough. I do think about betting but only in a way that I have lost so much money. The urge to bet have almost gone.
