I just came off a three day gambling binge. I have lost over 100k in the last two years. I’m so depressed that I can’t even look at myself in the mirror. My husband passed away two years ago and left me with some life insurance that was to take care of me and I have proceeded to gamble it all away. I feel as though I have disrespected him and his love for me. My family is not aware of what I have done and I don’t know if I have the strength or courage to tell them.
I have spent the past two days reading posts on this forum. The stories are sad yet so similar. I am going to my first GA meeting tonight. I have also been thinking of self excluding at the casinos that I go to. I am afraid that if I walk into the casino to self exclude I will begin gambling again.
I hope to get some help and support here. Thanks
