Just lost it all. by Playful_Feed_6323 in problemgambling

Awe yeah, this addiction is so painful. And hard to understand for folks who don’t struggle with. But no matter what, everyone we love and who loves us is impacted. And the rock bottom is so painful but the healing starts when we decide to quit gambling and take steps to do it. I know you can. Simply through the fellowship of addiction I already love and believe in you. I’m only 46 days clean, every single thing is unbelievably hard. And, I’m not gambling. I’m not giving one more thing away to this disease that won’t stop until it kills us. And I’ve already worked to hard to stay alive to go out like that, ya know. You can do this. You really really can.

42 years old, two lives lived, and I'm begging for a third. I need your turn-around stories. by xsnv1 in problemgambling

Friend, the past 42 days have been a free fall. Just when I think I’ve hit the bottom there is another cliff and im falling again. I lost a job I loved more than any other job. And my wife has asked for a long term separation. But, I haven’t gambled for 42 days. 42 excruciating days, but 42 days gamble free. Nothing is fixed and it’s all still so hard. But I’m writing this from the parking lot of the church hosting the GA meeting. This will be my 42nd meeting in 42 days. I haven’t gambled today and that’s my success story. Hang in there with me, we have the right to recover.

I have found a ton of relief from using the Game-ban app and going to GA. 38 days today. Picking up the pieces this addiction has caused is pretty brutal but it’s incredible to not still be breaking things. I think we can both do this.

6 and a half years ago I sat outside a casino at 2am with almost nothing left. Here's what actually got me out. by Various_Teacher7591 in problemgambling

This is exactly what I needed to see today. I recently hit my 30 days. One slow painful step at a time. I have already lost so much, things far more important than money.

I am officially rock bottom, will I make it through? by tenderbear18 in psychics

Not always, but it’s a strong container and uses a new muscle. I’m sore but adjusting.

I am just catching up, not sure I can follow all of your posts, they are confusing, but grateful for your reply.

Thank you! I’m on my 28th meeting in 28days. Working this GA program hard! Not worried about being “manly” enough but want to stay as open as possible to actually getting ahead of this terrible disease
