Hi Dan.

Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for writing so openly about what you are going through. It gives me hope that this addiction can be iced. The day you started posting here again looking for help is the day of my birthday and the day I started down my path of losing and losing. The unbelievable high has turned into torment since then, i fell into the “but i need to at least try and win some back…today is the day!” Pithole. I have just begun to realize my losses since last night. I also can not admit anything to those close to me. The shame would kill me. It’s hard to swallow. But I keep thinking how I have no more to lose if I don’t go gamble anymore and put the past behind me. I have made the vow to self ban tonight. I have no other choice, i live 2 bus stops from the casino…What’s more embarrassing really? Having to be escorted out and not being able to go back or walking out of there (again) with a long face and joining the pack of losers waiting silently for the bus home…gambling used to be fun. This isn’t that anymore. It’s agony and torment right now and *YOU* give me hope that it gets better day by day. I am proud of you, if i may say that.

I’ve been reading story after story on the forum btw. I feel sad and sort of shocked that there are so many of us out there…and at the same time hopeful that I’ll be able to kick this monster square in the teeth like others have. Thank you all for sharing your experiences on here.
Admission time: right after saying this morning that i will self ban this evening after work, on my way yo my bus my first thought was: “but really, you should just try your luck one last time”. At this point I’m scared to even go in there but i feel like i have no other choice at this point…i need the $ in my account more than the envious looks of people sitting next to me and feeling them salivate when the machine kicks the music on and the credits start rolling

Thanks I-did-it, I’ve thought myself of self-banning. It was in my head even last night. I think that will be the way to go. at this point i don’t think i have another option because I’m so close to the place. As for the $, i can’t have anyone else control them. My husband is in debt (i have maybe just 1k on my credit card, nothing else), and really have no one to give it to.
I’ll self-ban tonight and let you know how it goes.
What are the groups?
Thank you.
