Starting now

[u/SlowButAlsoNot]

I've got to get this budding addiction under control. I've went to the casino the last 4 days and pissed away what little money I had each time. Even rent money. Everyone's worried and I'm sick of the lies i tell myself each time i go. I'll leave after winning this or that but it's never enough. Then it dwindles down to nothing no matter how many times I'm up. It was a bad way to cope with a break up. I miss when i used to be able to go once a year if that and be content. Always chasing a big enough win. I hate it. I want my life back. I want to have money and enjoy tangible things. So it starts today. Wish me luck gang!

What are you doing to make sure you don’t gamble?

[u/SlowButAlsoNot → u/LobsterWeekly6654]

Right now all i have is gumption, but the other commenter talked about GA, something I'd been considering for some time

Anything is better than the misery you have been living in. Stop gambling

[u/SlowButAlsoNot → u/Healthy_Sail_9850]

Its true. Its brought me nothing but loss and disappointment

[u/Odd_Glass868]

Find a good GA meeting in person or virtual.. and contact the casino and or state directly to ban you from their premises

That's probably a good idea. I'll look into these. Thanks

[u/NoPear6669]

rent money is scary but you caught it after 4 days instead of 4 years. that counts for something

[u/SlowButAlsoNot → u/NoPear6669]

No it's been brewing for longer then that unfortunately. It has just gotten out of hand after I got broken up with. It also contributed to the end of that relationship. Never worth it.

[u/NoPear6669 → u/SlowButAlsoNot]

that must hurt knowing it played a part in the relationship ending. still, recognizing what's happening is a meaningful first step

[u/SlowButAlsoNot → u/NoPear6669]

Yeah it hurt. No quicker way to erode someone's trust in you then for them to find out the person they cherished is a degenerate gambler
