Hi we have all been there and asked ourselves why why why, it’s the addiction ( ADDICTION. ) Write all your positives and negatives in your life down and try to concentrate on the positives , if theres a GA meeting near where you live get to it and meet fellow compulsive gamblers who will support you.

Hi Liz yes living is very very difficult at times and i sometimes don’t want to wake up but when i look back, i thank god that im still here. We have so many things to live for , like you say your daughters , grand kids and friends . I know its not easy but try and look at the big picture and embrace the good things in your life. 🙂
