About Me
I am very shy and quite withdrawn from society. As i grew older i find that I can't handle people and try to avoid any relationship with anyone. I think that is the reason why i only settle for mundane jobs that don't have much expectations. I try to escape from what appears to be harsh realities of life by gambling. I have been at it for about 8 months and have progressively become an obsession to chase lost after lost. Now its out of control and i'm really regretting that i have ever started.

We all have those times where we are so despondent. But we must keep going, keep doing, keep staying gamble free. Resist! When you get the urge, stop by here. The support is there, you must reach out and grab it...
Congrats
I want to congratulate you on your honesty. You have admitted your problem and that is huge. Next comes accepting that you have a problem. This may not come quite so easily to you. Acceptance is hard but try. After acceptance the days become easier to handle.
I’m With You
Hang in there EL.... I could have sworn that I wrote your discussion post. Sounds just like me. Your not alone.

Some Sunshine, just because...and a few hugs, for good measure!
I’m With You
Hi Empty, Great job on stopping! I feel your pain honestly I do. The guilt for me was and still is very overwhelming. I sometimes just sit and cry because I am so ashamed at my stupidity. Think of all the things I could have bought for my family, bills I could have paid,raining future I could have been saving for.a It does get better the longer you stay gamble free. You will start to realize that by NOT gambling you have that money. Little by little. Doesn't matter how long or how much $, its the insanity of the addiction. Makes really good people do crazy things. Read my journals I'm going thru the same as you. Please give it time, day by day you will start to feel better!
