  Honestly I don't know how to feel happy anymore. I no longer enjoy any of things I used to enjoy since battling this disease. Gambling during relapse or not gambling during recovery- I feel depressed all the time. I literally force myself to get through the day. I hide the truth from others while I internally face the shame of what Ive become every day. I never want to talk to anyone or socialize. I dont see a future for myself yet want the best for my family. The financial and...

  This disease has stolen years of happiness and health from my life. Ever since I became a compulsive gambler  6 years ago, my career is dwindling, I've become overweight, I am depressed and rarely want to talk to people outside of my job, my skin looks terrible due to chain smoking in casinos, I'm pretty much broke and live paycheck to paycheck. What's feels worse is that over the years, watching people I dislike at work, (usually because they're shallow, fake or disrespectful to others) grow...

  It's been 10 days since I last went to the casino, and I am having severe anxiety and gambling withdrawals. Today feels especially bad. It just keeps festering in my mind. I fantasize and dream about glamorous escape trips to vegas. But I know it's just a fantasy, and that even if I do go I will lose, staying up all night alone chasing losses.And here I am forcing myself to stay home...I can't stand the restlessness and when I think about how dreadful my taxes will be this year, I feel even...

  I must be addicted to losing, because that's consistently what happens when I am at the casino. I'll never make up for all of my losses, and that's so hard to accept. I talk to other players who are there 3am and it's the same. We're all chasing.I hate that I've lost so much hard earned money and for what? I hate that I'm so disconnected from people and from myself. I hate that my addiction has stolen important time away from my family.I'm beginning to notice the progression of...

  This week I've missed work because I went binge gambling again. I've been struggling with compulsive gambling for about 6 years. It's ruined me financially and psychologically. Every day I want to gamble, and yet while I'm doing it, I play until I lose and hating myself on the drive home.I never thought I'd become a compulsive gambler. It's as if I'm some kind of Manchurian candidate when I relapse. How does that happen? I'm questioning if what Im doing is a side effect from anti depressants...
