- Ok everyone, here goes, day #1... again...... I finally got cracked good by the sports book which resulted in me calling it here and make an attempt to quit. This time though it should be different though since I was also a bookie agent and had...
- When I was gambling, I would go into a trance like state and would not do anything else. I would just stay glued watching the score on my tv and my mood would fluctuate depending on the outcome. Yet I would continue doing this not seeing the...
- Hello everyone,I would like to read fellow recovering sports gambler's stories. I am a sports gambler, primarily football and have been doing both sports and online blackjack. What has helped you move on? This week I found "dopamine" is...
- Hello everyone,I've had a tough 3 weeks in gambling and yesterday Halloween was my last bet. Lost in sports betting, tried to make it back in online blackjack and was almost there and lost it all. Made another deposit and lost it again. Sound...
- I'm a sports gambler and I need to quit betting. It's ruined my life and while my family and relationships are intact my quality of life sucks. I know I can be doing so much more. My question is how do you watch a game without the urge to put...
- Hello everyone,I need some help in figuring out what's wrong with me. My problem is my mind can stay stuck thinking of a certain usually negative event over and over again. For example, say a bad day a work, it will take me weeks to move on and I...
- Hey guys,How's everyone doing? Hope everyone is doing well. I just had an awful relapse. If you view my previous posts you will understand how much of a struggle this has been for me. Relapse after relapse but this week was terrible. Hit the...
- I've been doing okay, have been the last two months until these last 3 weeks where I started drifting back into gambling. Yesterday everything "exploded" after taking a nasty loss that forced me to snap out it. I'm hurting right now because again,...
- How many times will this keep reoccurring? I've said day 1 like twice this year and this makes it a third time. How do I accept what's lost and move forward? I feel like I can get it back but I also am very afraid. Last year I lost 7,000 in a...
- Dang it! I had a relapse yesterday and lost $500 playing online BJ. Wow! I had over two months of being clean and just little by little started working my way towards the casino. I know this had a lot to do with NFL preseason. Feel numb, sad,...
- It has now been 45 days since my last bet and I feel great! I have the occasional thought to play but nothing like doing other things to get my mind off things. It's amazing! I can't wait for the big 365 day! I hope everyone is doing great and...
- It is now day 13. It feels as though it's been 30 days and not sure if that's a good thing or bad but definitely does feel like more time has passed by. I want to share that my mental focus has returned to me and has allowed me to work on projects...
- It is now day 9 and I am feeling wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better. Gosh what a relief. I still have urges and am aware those feelings (demons) will stick with me for a good while. Those feelings are incredible... I just hear the thought of...
- Well it's day 3 and I feel slightly better. Didn't think too much about what could of been etc. I did get some urges but it wasn't bad. Seems like the healing has begun. I have accepted the loss and made arrangements to pay the debt off in 3...
- This event occurred on day 1 and watching my boy culminate from kindergarten to 1st grade was a surreal moment. It was a time of reflection and realization that life is passing me by. The time is now to stop gambling, finish school ( still doing...
