I am with you IDI! We are all the same yet so diffrent. We have to take what works for us and run with it. For the past few months I really have not had much of a desire to gamble. Thank God! .. I do know that I have to limit my time here and with other support because like you said,,, talking about it all the time just keeps the addiction alive. I have just come to the conclusion that the temporary pleaseure from gambling is not worth the long term circumstances. Keep doing whatever works IDI!

Hi Lauren! Your story sound a lot like mine. Well I guess we ALL have one thing in common , gambling has caused chaos in all of our lives one way or the other. I have not gambled so far this year and I pray daily that God helps me through another day. I believe that after hundreds of relapses over the years, that I finally felt defeated and powerless to my addiction. I begged God to step in. He did, because I really do not have the desire anymore. A thought here and there BUT I give them to God or with my history I will be back on the fast track in no time. I just don’t want to live like that anymore. I love the story you heard at church. Just like the alcoholic we can not stop after just a few spins,hands,bets whatever our choice might be. Gambling is poison to us. The gambling hangovers are the worst. I never want to experience another one. So for me it’s simple, I just won’t drink the poison anymore and I understand that at times my desire may or may not be strong and I can not do it without Gods help. I do not know for certain that I will never gamble again BUT I do know I will not today., I am really glad you are here. Keep coming back especially when the storm settles. It will, it always does. Lean on to God with everything you have and he will break the chains and you will get you through this. I will be praying for you.

Just checking in. No gambling which is always a good thing. Debt dwindling and peace of mind increasing day by day. I really do not have much debt BUT I should not have any. I have been quite on this site but I have been keeping many of your threads and praying for us all on a daily basis. Made it through Jan and Feb with no gambling, just fine. Here is to no March Madness .

Good job getting back on track with no gambling., Let’s crush March the same way.

Way to go Kin. Let go. Let God!

I told “my other half” that I guess I do not have heart issues but I propbably will when I see the bill. :). I do have insurance but it’s so confusing who knows what’s paid and what’s not. As far as the cost, It is what it is, so not going to worry about it.

Thanks Liz!  That’s what is so strange… I eat pretty clean, no sugars, no starches (with the exception of natural) However I did smoke for many years. I was never a heavy smoker BUT when I was gambling I would chain smoke. YUCK!  My dad has an irregular heattbeat too. In anycase I am glad they ruled out heart issues. I am gonna go with the flow for now and if things do not improve or get worse I will look have other things looked at.
