Hey all,

I live in Japan and the slot problem out here is horrible for me! There is a huge slot club on every corner and at every station! I havent been able to resist and in turn am losing all my money and going into serious debt! There is no self- exclusion here and I am having a hard time resisting! actually I have played everyday for 2weeks straight losing everytime and lots of money that I dont have!

any advice??

anything would be helpful!

I am a periodic gambler. I can be very involved for two-to-three months with gambling, and at some point, I don't have an interest in it for months. Then, the urge comes back and the cycle starts again.

I think it is not a problem to gamble. It is how you act and think after a win or loss. My issues are as follows:

If I win, I think I should have bet more or I should have bet another game with my win to increase the output.. Also, if I can win, I should be able to win again without much issue.

Hi,

I have been sober for 11 years, clean for 5 years but now I am gambling. I have worked the 12 step program and I know that this is just another addiction that I am powerless over.

I am glad I found this site. I will use this as a "meeting". I tried the gamblers meeting one time and it was not what I needed and they only met once a week.

I am a true blue addict and if I want to kick it I need to try my best at 90 meetings in 90 days. I just have to take one day at a time.

I decided to see if sharing my gambling problem would help me. I am so desperate. ..I have tried repeatedly to quit...the longest I have gone in the last couple of years is about 2 weeks. Right now it has been 10 days and it is all I can think about...hence my post. I banned myself for 2 years but that didn't work either.

I must say Im grateful to find this site. I have no GA where im at, at least that speaks english. I have been in the AA program for 3 years now, and going to take a attempt at my long time problem, gambling. Oh my goodness! I cant believe im going to make a honest attempt at this now. Lets see:
