Hi Thomas and Cozzy

First off Cozzy, I am very proud of you for keeping with this and going to GA and coming back to the site. It has been a few days since I have logged on but I enjoyed reading this post bery much, It made me have hope for myself.

Thomas, I don;t think we have met but you seem to be doing pretty well yourself. I was inspired by your support you have given Cozzy after just 7 weeks of you not gambling. It has almost been the same for me… I haven’t been to the casino at least… which is good.

Keep up the good work you 2!

I am in a similar situation… I am also a blackjack player and believe I am pretty good at it. A month ago I won over $2,000 and I felt like I was on top of the world winning that amount of money without spending much at all. Now I am broke… I’ve been broke for 2 weeks now and I can’t even remember what I Spent the money on, a lot of it was gambling. I keep thinking if I could win then I could win now. That is not the case. I am 23.. going to be 24 this year and it is nice to know there is also young adults like me who are struggling with this as well. Keep me updated? I would love to see how you are doing. It has been 2 weeks since I’ve been to the casino… hope you are doing alright.

yeah when I start having a little money again and if I feel the urges I will have to have someone else handle my money until I feel safe to… I have done it many times before… thanks for reminding me.

Stay strong Andy! I have those days as well and I look back and say … I got through it, somehow some way. All that matters is that you get through it. if you can get through the bad cravings for almost 3 weeks you can do it today! Congrats on 19 days.

Hi Delie..

The first step is admitting you have a problem. That is an accomplishment in itself. I am pretty new to this site as well but I have experienced the same feelings. I am also in my 20s.. It’s a struggle trying to deal with this as well as trying to get a life established.

There have been many times where I have gone to the casino, lost.. Then the next week after I get paid I go and win… But yes you’re right it’s not a win because you’re just getting back what you’ve spent. For me it’s what I spent… It owing the credit card payment that I took out for a cash advance just to stay and gamble longer. So for us it is never a win and I don’t think it ever will be. A win for us is to stay away from gambling. Each day I have to think of it as a win because if I don’t then I will think I am not getting anywhere.

Keep posting! I would love to keep in touch with you and how you are doing.

Take care,
Jessica

Thank you so much Saad! This really helps and knowing someone else that knows how hard it is to deal with a gambling parent while you’re a gambler yourself trying to quit really helps.

Congrats! I am on day 12 since I have been to the casino and I hope I can stay away… I need to.. Keep on posting here because we can motivate each other to stay on track. All these tiring days at work etc… will pay off somehow down the line, whether its paying off debts or just the feeling of being okay with not gambling.

Keep it up Andy! Best wishes

Jessica
