Thank you G Rec…
I had a great time with my granddaughter!!Unfortunately, I did gamble….this is an awful addiction….NO MORE!! i don’t even have fun gambling ….I felt strong and then all of a sudden I went and gambled, like I said before…its like I get hijacked….this has got to stop…
I did tell someone, finally…my Mother, I talked to her yesterday, I felt better after I talked to her….I am hoping that having accountability will help me stop gambling…I have to stop, I don’t even want to gamble.
I have to fill my weekend time with hobbies or something else to look forward to.
I think I will talk to my Daughter about it this week, she is like my best friend.She is so smart, I am so proud of her…I hate to bother her with this and I am ashamed, but I know she will help me with encouragement and I will spend more time with them on the weekends….
wally2021ParticipantFriday… i guess the urge to gamble will always be there, even though I know it is such a waste of my hard earned money…..I am not going to gamble this weekend!!
as i read the comment I just wrote…I think…I have to not gamble ever…not just this weekend but never again!!!!
Weekends are my tough time….to much time on my hands and not enough to do….I am spending some time with my granddaughter on Saturday, which is great!!!
One day at a time..
wally2021ParticipantHi G Rec,
Thanks for sharing this thread…I read this page and found a bunch of things that you wrote, very helpful…especially finding things to fill my time that I used to gamble, boredom is my biggest hurdle…
I will read your entire thread in the next few days!!!
I am on day 4
Sincerely, Wally
wally2021ParticipantHi G Rec,
Thank you for sharing that with me!!
Sorry you had a relapse as well.
We can overcome…it is nice to know that i am not alone….
I am with you brother!!!
wally2021ParticipantTime to save the money I work hard for all week at my job…I am not going to give it to the casino anymore!!! I will spend more time with my adult kids and my little granddaughter and when I have nothing to do…its ok to be bored once in a while….I am not going to the casino!!!
wally2021ParticipantThanks Josh…..I feel strong today….I have stopped and I will stay gamble free!! I have to and I can
wally2021ParticipantSunday morning…I gambled yesterday….and I feel horrible….I lost too much money….I have to stop….why is this so difficult….
I have to stop, thats it..i have too!!!!
wally2021ParticipantThank you Dunc!! I appreciate the feedback and encouragement!! I will try and do that
wally2021ParticipantThursday…I am thinking that i will gamble on Saturday…..maybe i am still in denial and not in recovery???
wally2021ParticipantHang in there…one day at a time! I have a gambling addiction as well…you are not alone
wally2021ParticipantДержись … день за днем! У меня тоже есть пристрастие к азартным играм … вы не одиноки
wally2021ParticipantI gambled Saturday…I feel shame and guilt…..even though I won money…i feel like that just fuels the fire..I feel as much shame as if I had lost!!!
I think the worst thing is that i used my debit card for a cash advance…I promised myself that i wouldn’t and i did it anyway…I left my card in my vehicle…but I marched right out and got it and went back inside…I was hoping that leaving it in my vehicle would give me time to think and not use it for cash….it didn’t work…luckily i have the money to pay it …but what about next time….I have to NOT HAVE A NEXT TIME….I have to not use my debit card when i relapse…ok maybe I should leave it home…thats what i will do…even though i may need gas or something…I will leave the card home….or maybe I won’t gamble??? but if I do I am leaving my card home..
this is a tough problem…gambling addiction is tough
wally2021ParticipantПривет …. У меня проблема с азартными играми !! в своем первом посте вы сказали, что потеряли все свои сбережения …. Я считаю, что этот факт указывает на проблему с азартными играми. Я стараюсь не потерять все свои сбережения. Я кое-что потерял и пытаюсь взять под контроль эту проблему с азартными играми. Желаю тебе всего наилучшего.
wally2021ParticipantHello there….
I have a problem gambling!!
you said, in your first post, that you have lost all your savings….my opinion is that this fact indicates a problem gambling.
I am trying to not lose all my savings . I have lost some and am trying to get this gambling problem under control.
I wish you the best.
wally2021ParticipantHi Kin….thank you for the question……YES!!!!! I just found out last night that my granddaughter will be coming over saturday afternoon!!! that is great news… I am still not out of the woods…my mind is wrestling with gambling for saturday morning…this is how it has been for me…i plan for gambling throughout the week…I am still thinking pf gambling and also how nice it is to still have the money i earned at work last week….my mind still tells me that i should have a win soon!!! yet, I have lost every weekend for the last 4 months…..I know the odds are the same every time I gamble…the odds say the casino will win…but yet I still have a desire to gamble…
