i am a problem gambler. I keep trying to quit but have relapses. my problem is with online slots. I have barred myself from many sites. I have had enough , it makes me feel worthless when gambled and caused financial difficulties. Today I try to stop for good.

It is good to see your post and that you wish to stop gambling. You have come to a good place to find help. Now that you have arrived here, do use the support that is here – read the stories of others; you will find encouragement and also ‘warning signs’; also, you could start writing your own Journal – this will help us to get to know you better and understand your struggles, but will also help you cope with your feelings and difficulties and work your way through them. You can also attend support groups.
I wish you well as you set out on your path of recovery.

If this is the first time you have seeked out help then his is a really good place to be. ASk lots of questions and research all you can on addiction.
it is amazing on what you can learn. Your first priority is to lockdown any cash flow you might have. tear up credit cards and get yourself on track to pay bills and do a budget to resume your life in a more natural way. What were the things you did before you gave all your time to gambing. We often loose not just money but ourselves and also our memories of what life is like without gambling.
We loose sight of who we are and need to reassess the things that are important. I don’t at all understand online and I have never tried it and never will simply because I can’t trust what I don’t see right in front of me. I need to see and touch. That being said I have learnt to look around and really see what goes on in casinoes.I realize there are so very few who actually win much at all. Most of the people are just trying to win back what they have lost . What sense does that make. We breathe such a sigh of relief when we leave with what we came with. Isn’t that crazy in itself. Why not find more tangible ways to enjoy life and when we can spend a little on ourselves let it be something that means something or actually is real.XOXOFG
