to Gamblers Anonymous for getting his life
back in order but knew he needed another way. He found a site
called
I Stopped
Gambling So Can You He checked it out and found this was right
for him. The owner of the site believes that Gamblers Anonymous is
a wonderful program, but is not for everyone. This was the reason
he created the website I stopped Gambling So Can You. He believes
the private chat room is perfect for people who would like to keep
their gambling addiction private. He also believes that compulsive
gamblers should have alternative distinct programs available. The
owner of the site also attended Gamblers Anonymous meetings and
noticed that a large percentage did not stay. There were no
tracking statistics on what happens to compulsive gamblers after
they leave. In a three week period he noted a total of four people
came and went. When you multiply this by the number of Gamblers
Anonymous meetings through out the world you realize that
alternative programs are needed.
Sean remembers waking up in the middle of
the night, convincing himself that he should gamble just one more
time. He told himself no. He then signed in to the I Stop
Gambling Chat Room. Only one person was there, but that’s all he
needed. They chatted for about an hour and Sean went back to sleep
feeling content.
Sean checks in an out of the chat room on
a weekly basis. As time passed by, he also went back to a few
Gamblers Anonymous meetings to share his thoughts. He believed he
found the best of both worlds.
It seems that compulsive gamblers can deal
with people knowing only after a year or so has passed since their
last bet. This is due to the fact that when compulsive gamblers
realize they are at bottom, their self esteem is also at the lowest.
Sean also believes everything is one day
at a time and will always be grateful to both Gamblers Anonymous and
the private stop gambling chat rooms.
This story has a happy ending. Sean’s
wife is expecting a baby in September. Their financial position has
changed and their future looks bright.
Sean knows he will always be a compulsive
gambler, but has made the choice not to gamble.
