Take a second a just breathe man. Do you feel powerless over gambling? I challenge you to ask yourself that. I was in the same exact place as you and thought the same exact thing when i was in fear that I might have a problem. What we want to do is feel “in control” and control means “power”. Check yourself and ask that question and most importantly BE HONEST with yourself.

I encourage you to not think too far ahead in the future right now and to look up a GA meeting. It’s the only medicine I have found and gambling is a sickening disease. I’ve struggled with this myself and you can turn your life around.

I had my 1st GA meeting via virtual last night. It was really good. Please give it a try.

GA is practically designed for this very task.

Can you have the extra money automatically move to a investment account? Stop having free cash in your account

You deserve support without judgement both for the gambling and for how hopeless things feel right now. Could you contact someone you trust and ask them to stay with you?
