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:

Hello there

Hi there,

Just found this site and I thought I would introduce myself. I am a slotoholic through and through. I haven't played since April 3, 2010, but everyday is a struggle. I self excluded which has helped. I miss it, a lot....I wish I had the self control but I know once I start I won't stop until it is all gone. I can relate to the many stories on here and am thankful that there is an online community.
