    • Prayer

      From oneshotleft May 29, 2008

      I'm new to the group, it's been 19 days free of gambling for me and I'm shaky but with a confidential place to go I can get the support I can only get from others who are going through it too, I send to a prayer to all to stay free of this demon

    • Close Gambling Addiction & Recovery

      I have been compulive gambling now for over 15 years. I constantly feel like miserable because of it. I have tried to stop on many occasions in the past but thus far have not managed to stay away for very long. I have many debts but fortunately have a decent job which allows me to pay my bills and service some of these debts. It can still be pretty depressing though! I have just gone back to GA last night to try again!

      Treatments

      Distancing Somewhat Helpful
      I have self excluded from the bookies in my home and surrounding towns. I did try going in to place a bet in a couple of those shops and was immediatley asked to leave.
      Gamblers Anonymous Somewhat Helpful
      I have stayed off a bet (a day at a time) for up to 8 weeks with the help of GA but I still see getting to the meetings as a bit of a chore! I'm not sure why this is but I am trying to change my way of thinking on this.
