I am in debt up to my eyeballs and am working hard to keep my wife from finding out how far I have dug this hole. Yesterday I blew $5000 I did not have in a casino, and think that I am ready to quit for good.
My family is great and do not deserve the...

Hi everyone, this is all new to me and I believe I have hit rock bottom and decided to go online and see if I could find a glimmer of hope. While I was looking up GA meetings in my area, I found this site and decided what could it hurt? I don' t know exactly what I'm doing here or even if this will help.

I want so badly to stop. I'm on this web site. I'm going to counseling. I'm so embarrassed. I don't want anyone to know what a crazy person I am. I feel so out of control. This is not like me. I want to turn it around.1 Recommendation7 Comments

It is 4 am and I am just home from casino. Gambled over $800 out of my bank, plus the $560 that I won while there. I have $12 to live on until May 27. I was doing so well, had received all that extra money and went out and was responsible with all of it. Bought myself all new furniture. Queen sized bed, new love seat, new recliner chair, a bunch of small things for m...1 Recommendation6 Comments

Another weekend has gone by and I've blown all my money at the casino.
I keep feeding those slot machines thinking I'll win back all that I've spent.
It never happens, you never win it back ..... even those ODD times that you do win something you put it all back into the machines....... I KNOW THIS, yet I keep playing, I know it's so crazy but I can't stop myse...1 Recommendation6 Comments -
I dont remember the last time i was here, I thought i had sorted this gambling addiction and threw myself fully into my job and all of a sudden months have passed, maybe more than a year, my business has struggled with a little help from the recession and taking on dishonest (as it turned out) workers. I was already behind with my mortgage and early this year got so far behind i couldn't...1 Recommendation8 Comments
