You’re not alone Tom17. I’m equally fighting the shame that comes with this addiction. Please know that gambling doesn’t define your character. We are not these people that gambling has turned us into. We need to fight this addiction for our wellbeing and for our loved ones.

Thank you for posting this recoveringJim. I read every word. It gives me hope to learn that there are people in situations just like me and are trying their past to get better despite the lapses. I was clean for a long time and lost it in a flash. I’m on a path to healing. I don’t want to live like this my whole life.

Hi no1 gambler. Trust me I know what you’re going through. I spent months chasing gambling losses and ended up losing even more.
Don’t allow gambling to paint a picture of you being a failure, there’s hope and you will get out of this and be healthy again.
I relapsed time and time again, I’m still paying off loans that I got but even the loans will be done some day. Don’t give up on life. L
Don’t let this addiction kill you. There’s so much to live for.

I haven’t gambled since accumulating the $700 debt. I’m pleased to say I feel great, I want to do right by my little girl. I have paid $500 of the debt I owe and will surely finish the balance real soon.
I will be healthy for my little girl. I’m wiser now, I don’t want anymore stress.
