I have a problem with gambling and I have recently quit... but it has only been 2 weeks and the temptation has been very strong lately. I have looked for help groups in my area and there is none that are close so that is not really an option at this point.
I enjoy gambling very much....If I had more money, it could be a problem for me. You can find ways to get the fun of gambling with out actually losing lots of money. Check out www.pogo.com - sign up for basic games is at no cost.
Also, you don't have to get a book based on the situation. Pick out anything that you are interested in. The idea is to not be thinking about the problem. Anything that you engross yourself in reading will do that.
Further, not only reading can help you out. Try getting a new hobby or involved more in one you already enjoy.
Best wishes to you!

a good psychiatrist will greatly help you.what is wrong with social counseling?i know exactly how you feel.i was a victim of gambling too.20 years ago i,my wife and daughter went to Austria to enjoy our holiday.in Salisbury,there is a casino at the top of a mountain.i had forty thousand dollars in the form of traveler,s checks with me.my wife and daughter were in the hotel, totally unaware of the tragedy that was to destined to happen.i lost every thing and my heart nearly stopped by grief,regret and sorrow.how could i pay the expenses of the holiday,the money for the hotel and other things?i had money in the bank in my country but it was Thursday and i had not obtained such service from the bank as getting money by wireless.the truth is i even did not have a visa card.Jesus Christ helped me out of that dilemma and i subsequently became a new person.i had lost over four hundred thousand dollars on gambling.my wife and daughter did not know any thing about that and I'm extremely sorry for that.one day i shall tell them the truth.nowadays i greatly sympathize with any gambling addict.several persons i had personally known committed suicide.
Im 38 years old and have been married for over 20 years, and we started going to the casino over the summer, we would go weekly and play slot machines. We were going for like 3 months, and we stopped. We just started going back to the casino, and recently I had won several times. And i took all my winnings and gambled it away. We went back again and lost again. The last time we went was on valentines night and we came out 30 short after we each had 100.00. For some reason, I felt like I had to go back and win my money back, the next day. My husband says i have a problem. And today, I spent the last 15 dollars of my gambling money still feeling the urge to win it back, and of course I lost it all. Ive never had a problem with any addictions in my life. Why do i feel the urge to win my money back. And I don't want to go to some gambling addiction anonymous group. Can someone tell me or help me with this problem. I don't take money out of the account to go gambling, and I don't go everyday. Can this problem be solved and fixed? please help me. I do admit I have a problem I just don't know why I have to feel like I have to win my money back. Please no negative answers....only be positive. I don't drink or do drugs, im a mother of 3 children and im a good person. I wish I never went to the casino which is only 10 minutes away from home which is horrible. thanks for your support.
thanks Shannon. and my bills are paid and plenty of food on the table!! Im not going back there again!! made up my mind!! it was just my spending allowance. thats all. but one i choose to not lose anymore!! im done!!
I have that problem when I go to the Casino. It sucks to know you lost hard earned money! I just lost 115 dollars in a poker tournament over the weekend and I am still pissed about it. It will pass.
You have to remember that casino's make millions every year. The chances of you winning your money back is kind of slim. What happens if you go and lose another 100??
As long as your not spending all your money at the casino and unable to pay your bills and put food on the table, I wouldn't say you have a problem yet. Just fight the urge!! We can do it together!! :)
