MY COMPULSIVE GAMBLING ADDICTION STORY

Everything was going perfect for me in life. Good job, good home, life and friends. Then one day some friends asked if I wanted to go to the casino. By the time I realized it, three years of my life were gone and I was in debt. It was time to quit.

The day I decided to stop gambling I was depressed and relieved at the same time. I couldn't go on any longer. I thought all my hopes and dreams were shattered. I couldn't tell anybody what I was going through. I was afraid that they would be disappointed in me. I remember the first day. I was nervous and anxious. I had a hard time focusing at work. This was not my first time trying to quit. I was sure I really wanted to quit, but wasn't sure if I could quit.

I found it was difficult to talk to my family about my problem. When I tried Gamblers Anonymous, I found they were nice people. They welcomed me into the group. I was very quiet buy my emotions were running wild inside. I never wanted new people to join the group because I was afraid I would run into someone I knew. Almost every week another person would walk through those doors. You could see the pain on their face. Unfortunately, the majority of these people dropped out after the second week.

I have a curious nature, so I asked "What percentage actually stops gambling?" They told me there was a three percent chance that I would stop gambling. That's all I needed to hear and that was my excuse to stop going. I quit and tried to find another way. I went back to gambling. I still had a compulsive gambling addiction.

A month later, I ran into one of the Gamblers Anonymous members. He asked how I was doing. I told him fine. He then told me that he hoped to see me at the meeting next week. After he left my friend asked what that was all about. I decided to tell my friend about my problem. My friend was very supportive, but could not relate. He said "Just stop. It's no big deal". We are still friends but the subject of gambling hasn't come up.

I am so thankful for all the new people I have met though this site.  I can now see a brighter future and I look forward to each and every day.  As each day passes my self esteem increases thanks to my new friends and my new outlook on life.

Thank you so much. My life has changed in so many ways over the past month. I use to gamble three to four days a week, never had any money and I never took the time for my family and friends.
