- I haven't been here for awhile, because I thought I could do it on my own. Boy that is most definitely an addicts way of thinking. I made it gf for over 9months before I decided I didn't need GA, and I could just go to the casino and gamble like a...
- Hi to all my DS friends. I have been Well for awhile. I'm sorry! But I just couldn't bring myself to face you again. I'm here now to tell you once again that I've fallen off into the dark abyss of gambling. As I write this, I am sitting in the...
- I am constantly being bombarded by Bill collectors calling me. I KNOW I'm behind on my loans that I took out. I want to pay them. What do I do, ignore the calls of tell them sorry I spent your money gambling? If I had the money, they would get paid,...
- I just read on Facebook from a local tv station that someone at my favorite c-----o won a record jackpot of over 2.5 million on a penny machine.Why in the hell did this make news?? Why not instead tell the many stories of how many lives get ruined...
- I went for 9 months gf until I went to the casino in September of last year. Needless to say, my life is in ruins again. I am sooo depressed right now, and I really feel so alone. I knew better than to go back again. My whole check is gone, and I am...
- Here I am again. After over 9months, gf, I have nose dived into hell once more. Everything just finally started spiraling out of control. I started going to the casinos again. I didn't notice the harm I was doing at first. It was so subtle. But this...
- I slowly slid down the slippery slope that led me to hell again. I was finally starting to get back on track, as far as finances. Everything was finally caught up. UNTIL I relapsed over and over. I would give ANYTHING not to be an addict. But the...
- I haven't posted on here in a while. I can't write in my journal using my phone so I'm starting a discussion and maybe help myself and someone else. A lot of you know I had been gf for over7 months. My s.o. and I decided to give it one more try. Let...
- I am on day 131 gf. Lately the urges have been really strong. I start thinking about how I never have enough money to make it through the month. I have been having to borrow from my mom just to make it to payday. My hubby has said several times " I...
- Last night at my G.A. meeting, we were discussing ways to let compulsive gamblers know that g.a. is here for them. We are in such a big city, and there are only 8 regulars that come to our meetings. We are thinking about church bulletins, or...

- I have been gf for 39 days now. I realized these last couple of days that when it comes to something stressful happening, I am at a loss for how to deal with it. I used to go right to the casino and hide behinnd (in front of) a slot machine and not...

- I went into 7 casinos today for what I hope was the last time. I went to the Players Club at each one asking for self ban papers. Security came and took my picture at each one. It was painless although one worker pissed me off after me saying why...
- Good Morning Friends! My brother has offered to go with me to each casino to self ban myself from each one. Do the casinos make this difficult or do I just have to go there and sign papers and let them take my picture? Thanks for your advice. GF-...
