- I'm glad to be back. I have been gambling free for the last 2 days but not by choice. I m down to 100. Until Friday and that has to cover food and gas. I went on quite the bender this week while on vacation. Blew a lot of money. I guess I still don...
- I have to be honest and say even though it s my family and it s memorial day weekend that if I could I would head to the casino. It s much better that I can t because I know like an idiot I wouldn t leave until I was busted. My family is really alot...
- Well I haven t gambled online in a week but believe me I ve been trying too. My cc is still restricted and maxed out so I can t squeeze a dep on it. I ve been trying but thank God no luck. I did go to the casino on tue and blew 700.00. I guess it s...
- Well, I haven t gambled now since Sunday. I ve certainly wanted too and have tried. My cc was put on the restricted list because I charged over the 5000 limit with one last 500 dep Sunday. They want me to call about suspicious charges but I think I...
- One more quick point. It s strange how every aspect of your life can be fine except when it comes too gambling. I do everything right from working to paying bills and then spend ridiculous amounts of money too lose. There s no logic to it and it...
- Well I'm still struggling but thanks to my cc they cut my limit from 16000 to 5000. It still seems like alot but I can at least swing the min payment. Also I ran 500 over the limit today before the bank could shut it down. 5500 is better than 18000...
- Yesterday didn t go as planned. Dumped 1000.00 more on my cc to gamble online. I was winning but as usual lost it all. I went out after and could t even concentrate. Today s been fine because I was back to work which keeps me from being bored. That...
- I m still fighting to get gamble free. I just sent a huge sum of money to my credit card and it still will have a balance of over 3000. I restricted the card and gave it to my daughter to hold. It's been a tough couple of years spending money and...
- I know there s been a few things going back and forth but I enjoyed his posts. Sometimes some of us( me) need some tough love. We re not easy people to help sometimes. Hopefully he comes back and we can all appreciate each others input. I know I do.
- It s been awhile since I've posted. I was gamble free since Dec 23. My poison is online casinos(roulette). I ve relapsed the last couple of weeks playing in the casinos and today went online to play. Not good 2000 charged on my credit card. I've...
- I ve found that in my lonliness I ve made quite a few mistakes. The other day I was talking with a woman with four young kids. She was nice enough but alone. I gave her my number to call to go out as friends. I m kind of regretting it now. Hoping...
- i lost my wife alittle over 1 and a half years ago. I ve dealt with the loss but now i m trying to deal with the lonliness. We were together 25 yrs. It s tough meeting people and finding interests. Alot of the time when i m not working i spend alone...
- It s a killer when fighting this disease. Find something,anything to occupy your mind until the urge passes. If not, you will be gambling again. Pray,exercise,run around,but don t become idle. This disease thrives on idleness. Stay strong and...
- It s been 2 days GF. I ve been crawling the walls but have stayed gamble free. I ve been doing alot of praying and keeping myself distracted. So far so good. Stay strong all. God Bless. It really is just one day at a time. You have to stay focused.
- It s been 24 hrs since I gambled last. I ve been relapsing for about 2 weeks. On and off. I ve been on the ga sites and am committed to stop again. Sometimes I forget that it s one day at a time. I get worked up about gambling and the losses. Now I...
