Matt,

Best of luck to you on your recovery. I too am a compulsive gambler and will be attending GA meetings too.

I've been to them before and gave up but I have been told that if you keep coming back to the meetings, it will work.

I pray this is true.

Thanks for the message and good luck. GA Meetings do tend to help most people but remember they are not for everyone so if you feel they do not work for you than try other forms of help.

I haven`t gambled for 5 weeks now, I would be talking bull if I said it was easy but I don`t want the shit that comes from my gambling.

Matt

Hello Matt, My name is mike i just got fired from my job. I recieve my 401k check for $3000.I just blew it on a football game. I was winning my running back fumbled 4 minutes left in game and i lost. I lost thousands of dollars, like every other compulsive gambler. I am crush for about 24 hours and im ready to go again. Its not about the money, its about the feeding.I won $5000 from $400 deposit and put it all on the next game. and lost. good luck to you and other compulsive gamblers.

Good luck mate, your right it isn`t about the money, the buzz you get win you win big can`t be beaten. So far my determination to quit is going quite well, I still think about it sometimes but as the saying goes you have to take one day at a time.

Matt, thanks for the video. I will attend my first GA meeting this week. I feel sick to my stomach but know I have to do something, I hope I have the strength.

I have to commend you for stepping up and doing something about this. It's good you realize you have a problem and you are doing something about it. Plus people who own those gambling places are cheaters! Don't turn back!! Keep looking ahead.

I too have been a heavy gambler at one point I manged to get myself into 70k worth of debt !! bank loans , credit cards and even lost my business !! i HAD TO GO BANKRUPT !! I am still living with the debts my wife ran up through my bankruptcy and this is 7 years later !!! I still get the urge to gamble but nowadays I control this bastard urge to throw my money away .. All I can say is i will live with the destruction that gambling has done to my life till the day I die.. all the best my friend

good luck man, there is so much pressure to be perfect in life. or to have a perfect record. the truth is we all make mistakes... it just come to a point when do we stop making them and start becoming focused and stop looking for the easy way out. the truth is gambling is the easy way out....... we think in actual fact it just complicates everything....
