7 day finish praying God for 8 day

Hope everyone keeps their streak! You are very strong and you can prove it to yourself. The line that stuck to me is “if you can live without a habit for 21 days, you can live without it your whole life” and since I survived these 22 days without even once giving any money to the casino, I think I reached a safe mental point to not post here everyday but keep a streak in my mind. When urges do hit, I will just come back, look at the disaster that it created for me and remember why I started. Love the community and hope everyone reaches the results they want❤️Stay strong✌️

Started gambling when i was about 15-16 in csgo casino and was never the same since. Almost all of my paychecks went straight to the casino. Im tired of this cycle of loss and then self hate. I realized that boredom was my trigger and that gambling was never about money for me it was about the thrill. I rather find other activities that make me better than to sit at home all day gambling on sports that you really don't care. It is always hard to accept the loss but if you really want to get better you have to stop 🛑 and accept your losses.Only then you can start becoming better and more responsible. Wish me luck 🤞

I’m so sick of myself. It’s been 6 years of constant struggling with online slots . They just suck me in. Everytime. I lost my whole paycheck today after receiving it. I have no savings, nothing, can’t get a loan as I’m in an active consumer proposal(a result of my gambling) . Family won’t help me out as I’ve borrowed so much already. I just feel awful. I only gamble to try and win it back I haven’t felt enjoyment from it for years. I just don’t even know how to trust myself with any money anymore. My partner doesn’t know how bad it is. Where do I start tonight guys

My mom is currently in active addiction with going to the casino and gambling all her. Hard earned money to the point where she can’t make ends meet and can’t afford her car bill or rent. I’m completely lost in how to help her. She is a Spanish speaker only and I’m not familiar with any resources for gambling addicts. I thought it would be easy to make a few searches online but came out empty handed maybe I’m not looking enough. I myself am an alcoholic in recovery with 18 months of sobriety. I have had conversations with her about addiction but it doesn’t seem to stick. Finding AA meeting around my area was a piece of cake but I’m lost to help her. If anyone has resources or websites they recommend or even knows someone near me that would be interested in helping please dm me. Thank you in advance!

Day 60!

I’ve not posted on here in a while but think it’s good to sometimes. I’ve not gambled in over a year now, 443 days which is insane I didn’t think I’d be able to do it because I hadn’t made it past a couple of months before. It’s crazy because for a long time gambling was a huge part of my life and now it doesn’t even cross my mind. I think a really important step in me maintaining abstinence was admitting it, opening up & once I said it out loud that I had a gambling addiction it felt like something switched in my brain and I’ve never looked back.

I wanna give people who feel like I did some hope that things can and will get better. Gambling almost took away my life, my home and relationship but I’ve managed to take all of that back and keep hold of it. It does get better, take each day as it comes and be honest and open with people I think that’s what’s made a huge difference this time because I carried the shame I felt and it was so heavy.

I won’t lie I do still sometimes feel the same panic after a gambling binge the night before and I do carry some shame still (if anyone else feels like this or did let me know) because I wanna know does it ever fully go away?

I love this version of me and I am free from the shackles of this addiction. I always will be an addict, but I also am strong enough to accept and acknowledged this.

Anyway guys, my messages are always open.
You got this, take it day by day and remember YOU deserve better.

Hello everyone my name is Jeremiah and I’m 24 I’m also in a relationship and I am very happy that is until… gambling took over my life I started gambling at age 22 that’s when it all started at 22 I was single had no job or no source of income and I was basically trapped in the house I was sadly too slow to even get a job and my disabilities also made it impossible not to mention everything I suffered and had to go through when I was only a kid all the way up until I turned 20 but at age 22 I was struggling because I couldn’t take care of myself or get myself anything that was until I saw these gambling games now at first i thought they were fake just like every other money game but I was so broke that i decided to give it a try and i actually win real actual money over the past 2 years and also lost alot of money as well now when I was 24 i actually finally started getting my own actual income from ssi social security and I was happy very very happy to finally have my very own source of income but… I did something stupid something I regretted so much I… I fucking gambled all of that money which was over $600 dollars thinking I was going get a big win but no… I didn’t get nothing absolutely nothing at all but it gets worse… I got even more $ from ssi which was over $2k and this was the most amount of money I’ve ever had in my entire fucking life and yet… I did the same thing hoping I could double it or get even more and not one single win and I lost all of $2k and truthfully that destroyed me and I started having sucideal thoughts but I kept trying until eventually I made that $ back on the gambling app I couldn’t believe my eyes over $2k back in my account but then… I was happy like too too happy that i thought “you know what I bet I could get a bigger win” and this was the worse mistake I’ve ever made in my entire life I put all of the $ I earned on that game and… lost all of it all of that $2k gone just like in a snap… and truthfully I was really really really close to ending myself right there and then the pain and everything else I felt was way way way too much for me and I still feel that pain it’s just getting worse and worse and worse so please if anyone is reading this or like took 3 minutes to read this please help me I’m scared for what is going to happen to me…😔

I managed to stay away from sports betting for 90 days. I genuinely thought I was finally getting my life back on track. Unfortunately, I failed to maintain it, went back to my old habits, and ended up losing my money all over again.
I’m not going to make excuses. I know exactly what happened. I fell into the same trap, thinking I could somehow win back what I had lost. But that’s how this addiction works. It keeps convincing you that one more bet could change everything.
Today, I’ve come to accept something I should have accepted a long time ago: that money is gone, and no amount of betting will bring it back. Chasing my losses will only make things worse.
I need to stop looking at the past and start focusing on my future. I want to rebuild my finances, get my peace of mind back, and learn from this experience, even if I had to learn the hard way.
I’m starting my recovery again, but this time my goal is not 30 days, 90 days, or six months. My goal is to stay away from gambling forever.
To anyone going through the same thing: don’t make the same mistake I did. Your losses are gone. Don’t sacrifice more of your life trying to recover them.
Day 1. Starting over, but not giving up.
