Today is the day be gamble free just for today and it is enough. The days will add up. Every day you are gamble free you win.

Keep coming to DS and we will help you end this vicious cycle of gambling. Like Booker said one day at a time. That is what your commitment for today is, for today I will not gamble. Today is the day your journey of recovery from this evil begins. We here at DS will help you get the joy back into your life. hugs

Remember Tash, we here need you as much as anyone, we rely on each other here to ourselves accountable. I find that even though I have never met anyone from this site, that I have sat next to them at a machine and never knew they needed help, and hoped than did not see how much I needed it. I really got sick, now I am working on getting well -- at this site we help each other. Just keep coming back, hugs

We have all been at the place you are right now and made that step. The important point is that you are making it, you are seeking help and advice to change. I wish you all the best in your journey. I have found this site invaluable for my own. Moment by moment, that's all you need to handle right now.

Just quit today and then tomorrow, quit again. It gets easier. Find other things, that are good for you, to occupy your time. Check out activities at your church. Volunteer. Do something for someone else. Focus on one day at a time. We are all here for you.

The only real way to win at gambling, is to not gamble. Just do it one day at a time! It makes us a winner every day that we don't gamble.

The thing that seems to be working for me is that I hit rock bottom. I mean, what can be worse than losing every penny you own and having to sell things to buy the necessities like food, clothing, etc? But through it all I have hope that there's light at the end of the tunnel. It's the only way I can go on. You might want to ask yourself this: Are you tired of feeling bad all of the time? There has to be a better life out there somewhere. We can learn to be in control of own lives and with the help of others we can do this and become gamble-free. Just think of yourself in a year or two telling everyone this: "I DID it!! I am GAMBLE-FREE!!" I am sooo looking forward to that day!!

i am going thru the same thing your are at this very moment. in my heart i know this second i need to quit but in my head i'm hearing come on just one more game. no one ever wins. i think everyone knows that. i think we just hope that we can win a little something, knowing that one little win will never mount to what we have alreay lost.
