    Hi Maverick. Don’t give up! Look at all of the good things in your life. Like Kin said, don’t lose your focus. Take it one day at a time. It’s hard! I struggle but I get through it sometimes minute by minute. Keep trying. You are worth it! Take care!

    Hi Ican, It is good to hear that you and your family are doing well! I have played bingo in the past but it wasn’t addictive for me. Congrats on the baby in April. My youngest Daughter is due April the 2nd with a little girl. I will be a Grandmother again. There is nothing sweeter. Happy Holidays to you and your family! Take care.

    Hi Maverick, Life is short. It is never too late to start anew. You are a good man. Gambling doesn’t define who you really are. Have faith in yourself. Sometimes we have to dig deep within ourselves to move forward. I am praying that you can find strength to fight this addiction. Take care and stay strong!

    Hi Maverick, I felt deeply touched by your above post. Don’t ever give up hope!!! Even in the darkest times, it is there!!! Keep looking. It seems like you are really down. Is there someone who you can talk to? Maybe a counselor? I know that this has helped me. Bullying is the most horrible act and can leave a life long effect on us. I know that my Grandson has been bullied in the past and his Mother (my daughter) went to school and nipped it right there. My Grandson has learned that he has to stand up for himself , which he now does. People bully because of ignorance and because they are not happy with themselves. I am glad that you went to your son’s school and defended him. That shows what a wonderful Father you are! I know that you feel like you are in a bad place right now but if you would find all the wonderful qualities that you possess, you would see your real value to your family, yourself and society. Don’t give up on yourself Maverick. You can move forward!!

    Hi Kin, Just hang tight and see what happens with your job. I know that this is causing you a lot of stress. Don’t make any decisions right now. Just take care of yourself.

    Hi LabRat61, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. I am sending you hugs)))) You are so young! Is there anyone whom you could live with until you can get back on your feet? If not, are there any services there that will help you? Please reach out to friends and family!!! Don’t gamble, it will only make you feel worse. First try to get help for your current problems, housing. Then you can deal with the gambling addiction. Banning yourself, GA meetings, GT posting and groups. Take care of yourself. Please keep posting here.

    Hi Maverick, We all mess up! The good thing is that you are back and trying harder. Put all the barriers back in place to make it harder for you to gamble. You are a good and kind person. Don’t forget that!!! Tomorrow is a new day, a gamble free day!! Take care.

    Hi I won a new life, Just hang in there. Put all barriers in place. Is there anyone that you could trust and who could support you emotionally right now?? Being honest with yourself is one of the hardest things that I had to do but also the most freeing!!! You will heal and make a new life for yourself. It just takes time and hard work. Just take it one day, hour at a time. Stay strong!!!

    Hi Johnny, We CG’s never get ahead with gambling. We go deeper in the hole. The only way to get ahead is to stop gambling!! Put all the barriers in place. GA is a good start. Keep posting here!!!! Exercise has helped me too!!! Stay strong. You are not alone!!!
