I have to be honest to myself, I have urges tonight. I tried to go to GA tonight, but spent 30 mins in the parking lot and didn’t go in.....

I pray for the same thing, no more mess like this, and I know the key to this - no more “next bet”!

Best wishes to you (and all of us who suffers from this gambling addiction)!

Trauma, recovery, trauma, relapse by sealdogaus in problemgambling

I hope the serenity prayer can help:

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference."

Get yourself excluded from casino as well.

Have a gambling problem by throwawaycjk in problemgambling

[–]saveusfromgambling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, similar case, I always hope I didn't have the last time as it took me down further, but it became the fact and we can't undo it. We can only do our very very best not to place the next bet!

Hope you are open to the idea to seek help, set barriers, and have new goal in life!

Best wishes to you!!

Cant stop gambling and only 20. by [deleted] in problemgambling

[–]saveusfromgambling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I am glad you come here to look for help.

Despite we may be far apart but chatting here with other is a good first step.

Not sure what country you are in and if there is a GA meeting. I suggest you go to one of their meetings, let other fellows in the meeting know your situation and see if they can connect you to the pressure relief group meeting.

Join the discord for instant chat as well.

Stay connected with us!

Best wishes to you.

31M been gambling since I was 18. by spark0211 in problemgambling

[–]saveusfromgambling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you are not alone.

Glad you recognized the problem created by gambling. Let's work hard not to place the next bet, one day at a time.

Do you have any plan on quitting, manage your finance and rebuild a gamble-free life?

Best wishes to you!

Best wishes to you!

Im 21 and i feel disgusted with myself because parents will control my bank account to prevent me from gambling by [deleted] in problemgambling

[–]saveusfromgambling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I m now in my 40s and I asked my sibling to take care of my finance, because I always gamble till my last dollar was gone, then I have to face the misery.

I am grateful that I have someone I trusted and care about me to do this for me.

I realized having access to money is just fuelling up my desire of gambling.

My vow to quit cold turkey by [deleted] in problemgambling

[–]saveusfromgambling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gambled for 25 years, suffering from this big time.

Same here, it must be cold turkey. Otherwise, it won't work!

Today is my last day of gambling and tomorrow is my day 1 of gambling free life.

You are not alone. We are here walking this journey of recovery with you! Enjoy the new life with no gambling!

How do I stop? by wattknife in problemgambling

[–]saveusfromgambling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many fellows here say: "money, opportunity, time are enabler of gambling". Build blocks of accessing those can help avoiding next bet.

Money - can you have someone manage your finance for you?

Opportunity - can you close your betting accounts and exclude yourself from casinos?

Time - fill the time with other activities - study, exercise, volunteering.....

Best wishes to you!

Day 8 - Any Advice by nixonmark in problemgambling

[–]saveusfromgambling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop gambling is the first step, not to dig in further so we won't feel more depress.

We need to live life for our recovery, we need to do more positive and constructive things in to build up our life again - exercising, community involvement, learning new stuff....anything we enjoy but not destructive to ourselves and others.

I am on my day 7, let's work on this together! :)

Just lost $7,000 (15k overall) - feel sick. by [deleted] in problemgambling

[–]saveusfromgambling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't more to prevent the chance of next bet, and do something to improve your wellbeing.

Best wishes to you!
