I wanted to join this group because I have been unsuccessful with controlling my gambling on horse racing. I’ve lost a lot of money in the past couple weeks and would honestly just like to stop all together. I’ve been keeping it from my wife and I cannot burden this load by myself. Is anyone else a horse racing addict and is in recovery?

When I played slots, I kept running into a high school classmate (class of 1968). So I started hanging out with her. She is wealthy, (family owns porn establishments). I’m living on Social Security. Hung out with her at the casino. Playing slots, I’m losing a lot of money. I know she’s losing, too. But she only tells me about her wins. The third and final time, I was with her, I called her, suggested ...

After over a decade of severe gambling issues that effectively ruined my life, I took almost a year off, got my life back in order, and saved a considerable amount of money.

But in recent months things have spiraled out of ...

I hope this article helps some to understand; I had a hard time grasping the idea that addictive gambling was not about the money....

I did it again. I just got my bonus for last year and lost it in less than 24 hours. I just can’t do this anymore and I don’t know how to stop.

I think I need to somehow hide my money from myself if that makes sense. For those of you that manage their own finances (I don’t have anyone that I can trust to manage my money for me), what kind of strategy ...

Hi everyone: No big surprise that I am back with my tail between my legs. It's been a long while since I posted here for obvious reasons. I have been gambling with abandon. It's 6 a.m. and I've just returned from the casino having taken the house card and blown money meant for bills. My husband is beyond angry with me and I am soooo tired of doing this same routine over and over and ...

I miss it. The big wins that led to big losses. The false lies that is was great when in reality it was good for about 1 Percent of the time I was doing it. Then it led to anxiety, depression and anger. It's so awesome that I remember the good, which was very little, and forget the bad, which was 99 percent of it. Racing thoughts, sleeplessness nights, lies and worry about paying people ...
