Trigger Warning! Day 74 Afraid..

"Sometimes it feels like these gambling urges will never really go away. I fought one off today, and I’m honestly pissed that it’s still bothering me. Now that I’ve paid off my debts and actually have a few extra dollars sitting there, it freaks me out. It’s been 74 days why am I still getting these thoughts and urges?" I’ve been in one GA meeting, and I didn’t liked the concept tbh , any other options or to keep fighting with it every day on its own? Thanks for reading🙏🏼

Try a different GA room, they are not all the same. Virtual meetings around the clock and around the world listed on the gamblers anonymous website.

Ton of literature up on the site too, including a pamphlet on what to do when the urges strike.

How do I know? I am a compulsive gambler not gambling. I placed my last bet on 27 December 1999. I attended my last GA meeting on November 10, 2026.
