Hi there,hope you are okay.
When i read your post i kinda found myself there.Texts and writing cannot truly explain how we feel but we try our best here because that is what we need to do.Gambling became our everyday life,escaping harsh reality.We try to fix ourselves by going to casino or playing online slots,injecting that false dopamine.I feel you,a lot of bad things happened in my life and im the person who is not that open to talk.I just snaped so i wrote post today,because i cant take it anymore.You are here because you can do it,dont let anyone tell you anything else.I know people who escaped this hell and now live happy life.We need to be consistant in our battle.I wish you all the best,you deserve it.
Ps
If anyone who sees this wants to talk over a zoom or skype im open to that,i think we can support eachother and share our stories,it helps.

Hello Cruising 247.
I started questioning myself same as you do.I never experienced relapses related to drugs because i never used them nor alchohol.I always hear stories that gambling is one of the worst addictions out there.They compare it to drug addiction so now i understand why is so hard to quit.
We are here to fight for us,for our families,to be better humans,all of us can be that,and i believe we will achieve it when time comes.
Wish you all the best,good luck to you too.
Much love!

Hi Don
Thank you!That was the only way to try to stop this madness,there was no other way to be honest.I tried to stay gamble free on my own without any action but didnt work.Right now i have these exclusions we will se what happens.I will try my best of course.Right now my thought are my biggest enemy,im trying to be busy and just think of anything that isnt gambling,literaly anything that brings me joy.
About gambling bussines
I always kinda knew it was rigged their way,but we all know it right,and we still go there and spend our money,or deposit online,doesnt really matter.I think gambling bussines is most evil legal thing that exists and cannot be taken down because of how much money it generates.Considering this, it is very hard to fight it for people with addiction like us.You see ads on every corner,on every website that you go even if you dont want to.I really dont know any gambler who has its limits,most of them just dont want to admit that they have a problem,others are trying to fight it but with no luck.I guess at the end just matters how one takes on situation.
Btw DON,how are you standing right now,are you gamble free,or you just started this journey?
Much love.

Hello Cruising 247.
Thanks for warm welcome.
I totaly feel you,even if we know inside our head that playing is bad we will justify it with some stupid reason,just to play and feed this urge.And when we leave there is void inside,feeling angry,depressed and that whole world is against us.
Im on my sixth day now,im thinking about gambling 2 or 3 times per day,for now i cant get it out of my head completely and i know it will take a lot of time to heal myself.But i didnt gamble.
Thanks for your response,and i wish you much luck on this journey.

Hi,thanks for your response.
I excluded myself from 4 casinos today,also i installed block software on my phone for gambling sites,i really do now have strong dedication to stop because when i remmeber my life before i started to gamble i realize that i had many things that made me happy,and that i really didnt need to go to casino to feel alive.I dealt with many loses in life this is just another hard thing that i need to fight.I know i have the power.
I know that i can be happy again.
