When will it end
Well it is now Aug.12 & things haven't changed much with my Gambling,keep spending money we don't have then search & borrow to try and catch up on alot of past bills.Last time we went to the casino stayed there from Sat.-Sun. morning then had my husband call in sick for me at work & I feel really bad about that because Sun. are super busy & my boss has been really great to me & also a friend that I feel I have let down when she needed me.Then I think about Gambling & how really stupid it is sitting in front of a GAME for hours & hours and the rest of my friends are out doing fun things.Also behind on rent, electric, cable, credit card bills, some of which I have charged on my daughters account & starting to ruin her credit too. I need to stop this crazy life and only I have control over my actions.

Don give up I know you can do it, I can relate to what you are going through, but think about the positive things in you life and those things that make you happy, because I know the gambling does not, you did not get this way overnight and it will take some time but you have to believe that you can do it and just do it.
Keep trying and don\'t give up. You can do it.
I had many slips before I just simply had enough of it. Hugss of support for you,

I agree with Kimbers - it sometimes feels like an up hill battle and at first it is. - to give up we need to want to give up? Ask yourself this - are you really through with gambling? I think you know the answer to that one.
You are right - you do have control over your actions.
Hugs to you too. Suzi
I stayed in the place you are now for a long long time.....I had to be hit by a really strong message from the IRS to finally stop. I know from experience that I couldn\'t stop until I was really really ready to do so....no one else can make you stop until you are ready. Just know that, for sure, you can quit when you are ready. You can come here and get great support from others....and it can happen.....Hugs..Dianne
You have to be committed to what it is you want to do, you can change just pray and let God do the rest.
