News of Gambling Addiction Forum

Hello guys, ive been browsing round the website for a couple of days now and finally plucked up the courage to say something. I have an addiction to online casinos and cant seem to get out of this black pit. I manage to stay clean for around 2 months until last friday when my craving was just too strong. I never ever think about losing whilst I am online, I always think that this time ...

I've been Gambling since I was 16 with friends anything from playing cards, arcade machines and trips to the betting shop. This has been a big part of my life to the present moment and I'm now 23. I have 1 daughter from a previous relationship, two sons to my new and current girlfriend which one child is from her previous relationship. We have been together now for 17 month, and have wonderful family and ...

So I just relapsed, I guess. I knew it was coming as soon as I got paid. I'm clearly nowhere near being over this. I mean, it was not nearly as bad as my worst benders, but I successfully drained myself of any disposable income for the month, just when I thought I was getting out from under finally. Disgusting.

But something strange happened. After I blew through several hundred that I really can't afford ...

Hello there,

Fist, excuse me for my english, it might be not good since english isnt my first language. Anyways here is my story:

I started playing poker when I was 17 years old. Im now 24. I remember watching a TV show with a weird card game, it took my attention so I search more information about it and soon I sat down behind the computer playing poker myself. And that is what I ...

Not posted in a while, I'm finding I don't have the same time to engage on the forum at the moment. I'm pleased to say I'm edging closer to 4 months totally clean of my ex filthy habit of gambling.

I'm genuinely busying myself to the point that I wonder where I got the time to gamble before. I certainly don't have any inclination to gamble, those dark days of maxed out credit cards and ...

Hello,

I posted a couple of times here before, but long story short I have big problems with gambling.

I'm posting this though for a specific reason - how do we cope with the issue of debt?


I know there are ways to get rid of gambling (possibly), but don't you look around and go 'my life and my finances are in tatters now'? I do. :( ...

Today,
One of life's many curveballs was thrown at me. It was a financial hit, an "out of no-where" obligation that prior to abstaining from the evils of compulsive gambling used to send my life spiraling out of control because I had already spent all my liquid cash, my credit cards which were already maxed out with cash advances and of course no way of borrowing for such an emergency.

Due to the fact that ...

I stumbled across this site through google. I typed in the search " what can I do besides gamble?" And now, here I am. As I was looking at all of the boxes to choose which section I wanted to look at. I thought omg I need this, this, that and that one! But, ultimately gambling is my main problem.... I think. I mean, I KNOW I'm a addict, but, maybe all these issues could ...

I'll try to make this short.... I gambled on occasion up until I was 25. Nothing destructive by any means. Just a fun card game or two here and there and never losing more than 20. I graduated college around 24 and couldn't find a decent enough job and moved back in with my mum and pop. I've had many odd jobs over the years but can't seem to move up in the world. I've ...
