Gambling Addiction & Recovery Support Group

I hope this thread continues. I feel like RSMutton, it is very hard for me to imagine not wanting to gamble. For me I wish it was just casinos, how on earth do you find the strength to fight the urge when all you have to do is go online from the comfort of your own home.

I hear you. I struggle with that urge everyday. I can't imagine the urge ever going away. When it hits I find something else to do immediately. I hate it, too, but I keep trying anyway. I can never make it past the weekend.

I guess I can be grateful I dont gamble on line. Have you ever won money online?

I have, but it's a pain to get it as you have to wait for a check and do tons of paper work before hand. It's also easier to lose back since it's nothing like real money and you can go very fast. It's VERY easy to increase your bets to insane amounts right from your couch. I have a Mac though and most online casinos do not support it. So the one I used that was decent I just contacted them to close it with a note to NEVER reopen it. Otherwise I could reopen it in 5 minutes.

TODAY, I am proud to say that I "really" do NOT want to go a Casino. I wish you many days like my day today is. One day at a time.
