miserable
Hello everyone, I'm new here. I've been wanting to join a support group for gambling for some time, but I thought I had it under control. Boy what a joke!!! Up until about two years ago, I would have never even thought of gambling!! I never even liked going to casinos, I thought it was a big wast of money, how the tables have turned....and all it too was one time of winning a pretty big amount and I was hooked!!! so now I have pretty much exhausted all of what little money I had saved and I'm robbing peter to pay paul. I just can't do this anymore!!! I need to stop!!!! I want my old life back.

Stopping is so hard, but you can do it. I am finding help here and also it is important to go to GA meetings to connect with people who know exactly how you feel. I am sorry you are miserable...I understand totally though. I blew through my savings and knew I had to get help or I could lose everything. Gambling is a booger of an addiction.
Hi Angie443, Thank you for replying, yes it is so hard to stop. I never thought this would happen to me. I never ever thought about gambling before, I always knew it could be a problem, but I was never tempted to gamble. I liked having money too much.....but all it took was that one time. I know with the help of other people and a strong will, I know I can stop.
