Hey, this is only my 2nd post,
I know I need to go to g a meetings but I feel sick at the thought of walking in a room where I don't know anyone and if I'm the only female, it's so daunting, but at this point where I'm leaving myself next to no money now for 2 weeks for food, gas, electricity ect and needing car repairs which now have to wait why do ...

My gambling addiction started this May. long story short just like what most of us get.

I was devastated but then i stop. for a few months. then it happen again today. i lost $1600, i was nust starting to save up. i feel like vomitting. im disgusted with my self after ...

It feels like literally yesterday that I was a "normal" person. Well, hardly normal really but this is off the charts. I've struggled with an addictive personality all my life but this is different. I'll spend half my pay in a few hours. I'll spend an entire work day hitting "spin" on my phone. Up and down. Doesn't matter. I'll finally break even and truly mean it when I say "great, you got lucky this ...

Hi, when I was in my late teens, my life was looking promising. I was happy, popular, confident, ambitious, and just someone who loved life. I loved life and especially the simple things in life. I remember a time when I used to genuinely get excited about the things I enjoyed. However, Gambling addiction which I developed from about 19 has destroyed everything in my life and I’m now 31. It has destroyed my personality, ...

I have lived a pretty fortunate life. This world is full of unfortunate circumstances, tragedies, disasters, and more trouble than we would like to imagine. I bring this up because, in my own life, I have not suffered any major tragedies, disasters, or big trouble up to this point, relatively speaking. (Knock on wood)

In my gambling life, however, I have suffered many miserable losses, and stressful, depressing times. It has occurred to me that, ...

So, I'm younger than the rest of you I'm sure. I have no source of income and I've lost all my money on this. I know it might not seem like anything to the rest of you but take it from my point of view. Yes I know betting with virtual pixels sounds stupid but it's the value attached to it that gives me the buzz.

I bet counterstrike: global offensive skins online. These are ...

Just like to share my story, like many others here I have a gambling problem that has just grown as I've got older. I'm from the U.K. originally and now live in the US. I started gambling at the age of 15, actually probably closer to 12 when my parents would put a £1 e/w on the Grand National for me. My first bet like many here I'd imagine, I won. Bet £1 on 7 ...

Hello!

I am a 22 year student. I have a low income, and have been using my summers and sparetime to earn the money that i had. I have always liked to play poker online, and i also playd with friends live. I never played for ''big money'' but i always liked to do it. The rush of winning money, is probably greater than any drug.

It started for 3 months ago. I had enough ...

I shared my story here before. I made a decision to stop gambling and stuck to it for 2-3 months. Things were going well... I paid up some of the debt I had accumulated from gambling, I was working 2 jobs and generally felt better about the direction I was headed.

I was forced to quit my second job due to some personal issues which also put me in a bad place mentally. So there ...

I'm a gambling addict, 24yo, student with interests in film.

I started gambling when I was like 19yo, gambled 50.000$ since then time till now. Sometimes I won and payed my debts, sometimes my mother payed them for me, but I was still obliged to pay the money to her in time, with promise I will never gamble again (obviously I 've never been able to keep such a promise).

I'm a bright, talented person.. ...
