I’m still gambling…. The last time I posted anything was almost 2 yrs ago. I was 32 yrs old, now Im 34 and still gambling. I hate that it’s so hard to stop. I’m not gambling as much anymore, I was trying to fix my credit. Before I was gambling $2000 a month now it’s about $800, that’s still a lot of money, I could buy so much, I could pay bills off or most importantly I could pay back my family that I borrowed money to gamble. The most time I went without gambling was 3 months. I’m hoping when I get paid next week I could just stay home with my family. I’m so sAd:( 2 months ago
Im finally over the obsession…but I must be honest I will still buy the occasional 5 quick picks from the state lottery. Its the stupid ass slot machines that were my weakness. A lot has changed financially with me, and it just doesnt fit the criteria of making sense to me. I want to save my money. To think about all the monies I lost over the years! I couldve had enough to put down on a house…I am just grateful that this once unquenchable desire has been dealt with. Now I read books, go on hikes, and watch movies to pass the time. Not to mention going to school and creating art again. I feel more balanced than ever, and learning more and more about myself in the process. 3 months ago
As of now, 13.37 on the 28th October, I am no longer gambling. This means, no bingo, slot machines, online betting etc etc…. The only thing I will do is the odd go of the euromillion’s when it’s a 34838 rollover lol Gotta have some faith! 3 months ago
Life is worth it and so are those around me. This time I banned myself and I am not going back to playing poker!! 4 months ago
How I did it: Hi Im Jason and I'm a recovered compulsive gambler.
Here's how I beat my gambling addiction.
1. I realized I had a serious problem that I couldn't stop on
my own......(so I went and got help)
2. I accepted the FACT that my gambling addiction was a
permanent problem I had to both overcome and
manage. (with help from other people)
3. Anytime my gambling addiction tried to convince me
that I was okay, or that my problem wasn't
permanent, I turned up the heat on my addiction. I
reached out for MORE help, I read more literature,
got more one on one help, and re-applied what I'd
learned.
4. I refreshed my memory of the new principles I was
living by. I did this by committing just one hour per
week. And I committed to reading just 5-10 minutes
nearly everyday.
5. I made a commitment. I committed to my goal of
overcoming my gambling addiction no matter what.
6. I had an open mind. If I questioned some technique
or suggestion made, I stopped. I embraced the help
and advice of those who beat their gambling
addiction.
7. I learned how to overcome my gambling urges and
eliminate them.
8. I learned how to overcome and silence my thoughts
to gamble.
9. I did all of the above, and took life
ONE DAY AT A TIME.
Now I help others stop their gambling addiction.
