Anyone else battling this.... The game stores are everywhere around me. Even with my mom taking over my finances and just getting an allowance I managed to blow all but $8 until I get paid again tn 2 weeks. I'm 45 years old and out of control with this

what a horrible trap you are in, I'm sure there are services and helplines available to help people with gambling addictions.

i dont know if uve quit but...i am 28 and i understand gambling is hard to quit. i had a problem with it a few months back and felt terrible. why? BECAUSE i blew away about 2000$. and i dont make a lot of money. i gamble because im depressed. i dont do drugs nor drink. i gamble cus of things going on in my life. i know it doesnt solve the problem. i thought it was impossible to quit. i was hitting rock bottom and decided i needed to stop. i aint gonna win it back. i decided to stop. one day at a time. forget about the 2000. my life is not over yet. take a week off gambling. then you start to let it go. and when the week passes you can continue forward. not gambling that is.
Thanks for this!

Thanks for comments, I'm not sneaking to gamble anymore but my husband is just as addicted so every weekend we go drink and gamble, he has finally decided we should stick to only one night...didn't happen this last weekend. I'm depressed, bipolar and addicted. I feel like I'm enabling him now.
