News of Gambling Addiction Forum

Seeking some advice on if ya'll feel if I am considered an addict. Long story short I currently am dealing with taking care of my mother with Alzheimers and that medical debt. I found that going to the casino for a few hours, playing scratch tickets, and playing poker online is a nice mental break from the stress of work and care giving, but my budget doesn't really allow for too much of it. I ...

I'm only 22 years old and in college for 2 years still. I feel like I'm ruining my good life because of gambling. I have struggled with gambling from age 18 but until now it wasn't this bad. I started with poker and maid luckily few thousands. I have lost $3k in a day when I was just 18 and it hurt like hell. Quit gambling for while and came back. Won over $10000 and ...

Hi all,

It must have been my 10th post here since I opened an account.

Here is my story and I think many like you can relate to it. I am now 33 years old and I probably lost something like 50k if I count all of the gambling losses I had.

The last 2 years have been dramatic. I had won huge money on bookmakers, but I managed to lose all of it (2 ...

Hi everyone.. This is my first ever post on anything like this so forgive me if I do anything wrong.

Where do I start?! It's 4am and I've done it again.

Well I just lost £700 playing slots and roulette. I just went on to find a football bet I could put £20 on and due to my impatient personality I have thrown it down the drain as usual.

This is the story of my ...

I already quitted gambling I was tired of losing and I was tired of winning.
I'm sorry to say this but I was also sick of fellow gamblers and my gambling friends telling of their stories and rollercoaster moments.


I've thought about my past and even when I controlled the gambling won 3000$ and excluded myself for 6 months I would look to another site to deposit.
These casino's made me lose real big because ...

Hi,

Did some of you fill bankruptcy because of your gambling debts? Was it accepted?

I am thinking of doing that and cutting all my credit cards. I am fed up of my gambling debts. Did anyone do that and started a new life?

thanks

My parents gambled, I often say
Thus, I've been infected to this day
Maybe it's in my genes, my DNA
I just know it's been hell to pay

Such a quandary for it to present
It makes me mad and also resent
Why me, I am prone to wonder
This disease and curse that I am under

Guess it doesn't make much sense
Playing victim from this day hence
We must realize we are all ...

First, I am sorry if I write about anything I should be writing about.

I lost a lot of money with gambling. Fortunately, I was able to pay it back without borrowing to family or stealing.

I still have some debts.

A couple of weeks ago, I went on a bookmaker and I was up to 11 000$ of profit, I LOST 9000$ of that profit......I lost it in a STUPID, SILLY, way.

Now, today, ...

Hi All:

Just updating my own status about being GF today. I will say that I have relapsed in small ways a few times, but overall, I have made really good progress toward being GF forever. What I'm happy about is that I don't have that strong urge anymore to gamble. I have been exposed to it numerous times in past weeks, but I was able to walk away from it. I feel I am ...
