Hello Angel. Thank you for posting, it is good to hear from others dealing with this problem. Whereabouts are you? Do you have support nearby? Hope to hear more from you soon.

Hi Angel,

developing a gambling addiction causes us to isolate ourselves from the people around us. We don’t want them to know what we are doing because deep down we know it doesn’t make sense and we are throwing our money away. No win is ever big enough and we keep putting it all back into gambling. Because we are addicted to the feeling of winning and not the money. So we always need more gambling.

Here is a place where you can take some time out. See what others are doing to try and break the cycle and learn to live without this addiction running the show. It makes us into people we are not. It can be so awful when you hit a bottom and around the holidays only seems to multiply it. But you can change things. Starting now. Read, post your thoughts, talk to the advisors during London, UK business hours, and check out the resource section for your area. We have all been where you are right now. A lot of us still are struggling. But many make a new gamble free life. Welcome to the forum.

take care,
Laura

Its so hard the judgements i place on myself and the judgements others have on me. I have no motivation to get welfare assistance. i dont work and my pay from government is in 2 weeks. i do have food at home. but i am ready for the rude comments from family coz when i have no money u generally stay home more. new years eve i had plans with one girl i have no close friends. she doesnt gamble. but shes free at the moment but much older. i dont even know if we can go anymore, i have some anxiety about ending frienship that trigger the truama response to gamble. i have psychologists but doesnt help and i feel my home life and the abuse at home is teh cause of me escaping to these venues. i have no where to go at nights. i left also an abusive relationship . but out of lonliness i am realyl strugglign to find hobbies and happiness.. i have ear disorder parents dont know what i went thru in that relationship. my parents dont gamlbe on poker machines likeme but they like bingo and also encourage me to go coz they see me home. anyway. i HATE this countdown to pay day/ but what can i do. i guess im more about cntrolling the gambling. i have been gamlbign onand off for 10 years or so. basically when i have new friends or move i stop . or when i have little money.
