Hi, everyone.. i just recently signed up for this because i felt letting others know what i’am going thru that might be similar will help me get thru this on going battle i’ve had with gambling. And joining this group i felt only certain people could relate.. i’ve been gambling for over 20yrs. seen the most high’s, but certainly the very low’s of it too. Just this past week i lost 20k on baccarat. Now i’am so dam depressed and just really out. I been thru this many times and i always find myself right down in the gutter again.. i’m not one to type and let this out to the world, but i felt if i did it would make me feel better. Thank you in advance if you had read this..

As it suits what you are feeling right now.

We have all been there – feeling depressed after losing a stack of money and thinking “oh no – not again.” The thing is, what are you going to do differently in order for it not to happen again.

If you look around the site – you will see the tried and trusted ways of stopping … losing access to gambling sites, lessening access to finance, getting good support and filling your time with other (non gambling related) things to do.

If you have already tried these things, then where did it go wrong? If you haven’t tried these things then why not?

Letting it out to us here is a good start, so build on it – let us know what steps you are taking to end the madness and move towards a gambling free life. I wish you well …
