[i won a new life]

I feel if anyone reads my post they are entitled to a bit of a story to my gambling history. It started with online slots (the crack cocaine of games) It’s gonna hit, just one more hit then I’ll cash out. Never do till the money is gone. Sometimes I would make a deposit and take a bonus go right to the black jack table and put it all on one hand to double up and play slots with. Anyway then I got addicted to poker as thought it wasn’t gambling. After a constant downswing it just doesn’t make sense to continue with. I’m looking at it as failed business and have accepted I was wrong and it was my fault. In the end the money lost meaning to me I could spend days spinning slots, and feel like I won the lotto with every small hit. I just gambled yesterday and won then lost a significant amount of money. I felt terrible with myself and it has brought me back here again. I need to be honest and place barriors to prevent this stupidity again. ODAAT

Hi my friend I’ve been there time and time again. the compulsion takes over. You need to place barriors be honest with yourself and family. You can not have access to your hard earned money, hard to admit but its true.

Hi all Merry Christmas, Barriors have saved me again, Christmas is a hard time of year when the urges feel overpowering.

I have given up online gambling compleatly, I still buy lottery tickets but the damage is minimal.

All the best one day at a time.

Had anther slip, had some money saved and the urge took over. I think I limited the damage but now I’ve had a good re-think of barriors and reaching real life goals without gambling

Well I had been doing good, but I had a major planned slip this weekend. I spent Friday and Saturday night at the casino. I had saved some money with my gamble free time. I bought a car last month and still had some money saved up. total damage was $1200. Now I’m back, could have been worse I just don’t know why I do this… kept saying it’s gonna hit it’s gonna hit.   I never walk out a winner, it’s depressing. Some people take vacations, I gamble. How many ***** have you waited at the ATM at midnight so you can make another withdrawl over your daily limit.  Damage is done, I’m not broke but heading back to being gamble free.ODAAT one day at a time

I have over 4 weeks of clean time now, I feel like I can keep my head above water and breath now. This it honestly the best I’ve felt in a long time. I get urges but I would not want to ruin it by gambling. Barriors are tight, they have saved me many ***** when the urges come. Normal thinking is making its way back into my life.ODAAT one day at a time

Day 1, I had a slip today when I made a wrong turn into the casino parking lot and just said I don’t care just a few spins then I’ll get out.  I had $250 Cash in my wallet for my spending money this week for food and gas. Any way I went right in was only down $20 when I hit a bonus round that retrigged giving me 100 free spins at $2.50 the win was over $500. I thought great I’m gonna cash out and go, just a few more spins. All my money went to $5 spins they flipped the switch on me, hit a few bonus rounds that sucked and chased untill I had nothing left.
 I’m very disapoined for a few reasons. First I snuck in, I self excluded from this casino. When I won I thought I wouldn’t be able to claim my winnings do to some terms of exclusion. Insted of trying to cash out I just blew everything including my $250 spending money for the week. The only good part is I limited my losses due to having no debit card for my bank (which only has about $100 in it).
  Anyway I’m not going to beat myself up, I’m just disapointed and I guess it’s another learning experiance. It was like something took over me,  any thought or plan of gambling ***** to be nipped in the but right away.ODAAT one day at a time
