If that had happened some 20 odd years ago, my life might have been fairly different... :(

Kenny Rogers starred in the film The Gambler and the singer liked to joke that he was not much of a gambler himself.

“ I learnt a long time ago, I can’t win enough money to excite me, but I can lose enough to depress
me”, he told NPR in 2015, “So I don’t gamble.”

With COVID-19 affecting the world, many of us are finding ourselves in self-isolation. Whether it is because you don't want to affect others or because your work has closed down for the next few weeks, some of us are dealing with the problem of having a lot of extra free time.

With all this stress and free time, it seems like a perfect opportunity for that little voice to give a reason to gamble. "There ...

Just an update on my situation for those who are still dealing with gambling problems and for those who still come to this website to read posts within these forums, I relapsed once again.

It never seems to be a problem until we lose. I know myself well by now, I cannot gamble like a regular person. Even when I hit my goal, the thrill from the ease of obtaining that money causes me to ...

Hi guys,

So yeh the title says it all really-gambling is the only thing that's ever made me happy, I know that's incredibly sad but I've never understood what else there is to enjoy in life because I genuinely have enjoyed very little since I was born.

Hey guys, this is my first post and I guess I just want to type out my story and see if it helps because I’m feeling pretty hopeless right now.

I’ve always been a gambler, basically just sports betting. I booked bets starting all the way back in middle school through high school and college (while also betting on my own as well).

I stopped booking after college but continued betting and while it was ...

So I’ve been gambling for 10yrs and had some high moments but they were few and far between the awful ones I continue to have. I would say in the last year I have gambled away 20-30 thousand dollars. It has destroyed my will to live or any other enjoyment I have in life. I could deposit 500 bucks turn it into 5 thousand in a matter of hrs and lose it all playing blackjack ...

Ugh. This is hard to write. I feel stupid and ashamed.

I was addicted to the online casinos . I must've lost about 15 K in the span of a year on there.

I finally decided to self excude from online casinos, and that was a step in the right direction.

Well, about 2 months passed without any gambling. Then, about 3 months ago, I decided to buy a scratch off ticket. I ...

Anybody looking at an anniversary this week?

I need to hear some good news and people successfully dealing with an addiction always makes me happy.

I am currently 21 years of age, living in a country with one of the highest rates of problem gambling in Europe. I started gambling when I was 16, the amounts I gamble vary, but I always remain broke. I see piers who have streaked past me academically and professionally, I am sick of the constant stress and lying they have become almost innate over the last few years. I am currently suffering from things ...
