Also, is there a way to stop gambling? I have tried every way possible and I still can't stop. The longest I have stopped is 4 days (when I was on holiday to Hawaii) but after that, I still gambled while I was on holiday. I'm too embarrassed to go to gamblers anon. or to seek help from church members or just general people. What can I do to stop, except kill myself?

Don't turn on the computer. Don't watch Sportscenter. For some people, the shoulda, woulda, coulda won is the hardest part. For others, they just want action. Take up a hobby that utilizes that time that you spend gambling. Working out is a good one. Socializing with loved ones a better one. Volunteering is great too. Note the circumstances when you did stop for four days. One of the premises of GA, not the main one, is that it is the camraderie with fellow members is critical. Also, it's a slippery slope so one bet leads to another. One day at a time. Good luck.

Dangor - when I stopped for 4 days, I felt like I was on top of the world. But once I deposited, placed a bet, and lost, I felt like a low scumbag piece of sheit.
I just want to know if anyone else is in my shoes and if they have been able to fight this addiction off. My partner is becoming really anxious about why I'm bringing in low amounts of money every month, when I used to bring in a lot. I spend more than half my wages on gambling. I make excuses that my car needed maintenance work and this and that...and she's so naive, she believes it. I feel horrible and need a way out. I went onto western union and told them to flag my account, but they aren't listening to me and keep emailing me back with BS.

everyone on here probably has a problem, i wud say this though,
try to remember the llllowest of low points you been thru and how you felt, then go to that feeling and tryn remember how bad it is before placing wagers, also realize that no matter how many low points you have things can get better, but probably wont unless you make a change
furthermore realize that killing your self is no option , just stiff your bookie if things really get bad, or if youve already lost too much, tell hime you want one more big play and make up an excuse abt how u acquired a buncha money and r good for it, than stiff him if u lose, wouldnt recomend any of that, but those r much better desperations ideas than killing ya know

i don't have a bookie. i use 5dimes. and pay cash up front via western union.
I do remember all the lowest points when gambling. but once i deposit, it's like these butterflies fly inside me, and i forget about all the lowest points. Trying to fool your own brain, is the hardest thing to do. This is just an addiction that I would not wish on my worst enemies.
It seems like theres no way out...

Try this. The first day is the hardest. It is imperative that you use that time productively doing something else. Again don't turn on the TV or computer. Repeat the second day. If you can make it through a week, it becomes MUCH easier. You start to forget what the allure was in the first place. Find a friend to be your guardian/sponsor/person to call when you are tempted. Without that, it is ten times tougher.
Joe is right. Most people on here probably have a problem. Mine isn't financial. But I surely spend WAY too many hours researching this nonesense that can be better spent elsewhere. But you are not alone.

sometimes there is no way to stop. if u cant stop the best thing to do is win. and you can only win if you make limits for yourself and guidelines and make sure you stick to them. idk how much your usual bet is per game but lets say you deposited 500.. every time you bet, only bet 20-50 bucks and slowly add to your bankroll. not only will this help you win, it will help you not lose your money as fast. everyone goes on bad streaks so u should always play smaller than you would like. and also if you cant pick winners, follow some good cappers on here or even pay for your picks if u want. just worry more about not losing your money rather than winning big cuz its hard to make that happen in one night on sports. gl

ur too "embarrassed" to drag urself to a GA meeting? why would complete strangers discourage u from saving urself? dude, ur talking abt offing urself. that's as real as it gets. force urself to pick up the phone and make the call to GA and just start talking. or call ur PCP and just start talking. the next steps will unfold from there. the fact that ur in here seeking help says u want to be saved. so save urself. make the call, reach out, and begin to heal. godspeed.

Jesus brother, you are on the bad end of things right now. I'm gonna try and help you. You will NEVER win. Why? It will NEVER be enough. If you win $100 on a game it will feel like you lost $1000 because you think you should have bet more. Then your account will be empty and you will find ways to "cheat" yourself out of other things in life to feed your habit. It WILL ruin your life. Your credit will eventually be garbage, your family/friends/girlfriend may not leave you, but they will think way less of you. Why? Simply because they dont have the beast residing in them. They dont know what its like to have a need so strong it feels like you have to gamble. Its a drug, dont fool yourself. Some call it a disease, but I will not slight cancer by putting them in the same category.
However, you are not alone bro. Dont ever feel that way. You need to get help before it ruins your life and those around you. Go to a meeting and listen if nothing else. You must seek this help before the darkness consumes you and it sounds like you are on the ledge my friend. Right now I would say take a trip or go camping for a couple days and get away from the tv and your smart phone. Dont place a bet for a couple days and when you get back find something to help you. Its no time to be too proud to go to a GA meeting or make a phone call. How much pride are you gonna have when you've lost everything and your girlfriend leaves you and you cant get a loan?
Its not too late to fix, but you've got to make the first step, which you have already done in admitting you have a problem. Step 2 is figuring out how to deal with it.....
Lots of good people around this site to who have been down your road or who are on the same path. Feel free to talk bro.
Wishing you nothing but happiness

Thank you so much bro. I never knew there were actually good people on this site, that care.
Your words touched me, and I will definitely do my best to get out of this whole. My wife has given me many signs that she's not happy, and I'm not the same person. I have been gambling for 4 years and this has taken a toll in our relationship, and she doesn't understand why this has happened. This is the woman that I committed to marry and be with for nthe rest of my life, and promised to be honest and truthful with her....the fact that i have hidden my 4 year gambling addiction from her, pains me the most. I'm afraid to tell her because I know she will leave me.
I have to take baby steps. Hopefully I will reach my goal. But, it's easier said than done. I hope my life changes, and I hope I can stop all this BS, because life is short and sweet, and I'm wasting it by spending at least 17 hours every day on sports gambling.

Thanks man. It's good to know that I'm not the only one with this issue, and I'm not alone. I feel alone and no one understands, but you guys are a great help, and calming me down.
You say your biggest issue with gambling isn't financial. What is it then? Just the urge of placing a bet? Mine is kind of hard to explain. When I deposit, I just want the thrill of being involved in the game. The winning the bet part is a bonus. But, losing consistently, makes my issue financial. I never know when to stop. For example. I put $600 on saturday away in my savings jar (for emergency use) Today is tuesday, and I have lost the $600 in 1 day and am using my personal savings account now. This is ridiculous. I promised myself last night that I would stop...and I made my brain accept that I would stop gambling....come morning, and I'm hyped up again and want to gamble again. I hate the feeling

he's talking abt KILLING HIMSELF to escape the demons and u suggest wratcheting down the units and tail hot cappers? you are an effing retard my friend. stupid fool.
take the stick out your behind. he said except kill himself. i was trying to explain a way of gambling without over doing it. why dont u go jump off a bridge.
anyways...
this is what i was talking about. u say your spending basically 600 per day or so. if u dont even make close to that amount a day then u cant be betting that high. if there is no way u can bet small or at least adjusted to your payroll then u must stop and seek help. earlier when u started this thread it did not seem as serious. now the more u wrote it seems like you are way in over your head with it financially. as dangor2 was sayin, his problem isnt financial which means he probably just loves the thrill and sports in general. when your gambling on sports and its no longer for fun or doesnt bring joy to your life then you must seek help. where i live we have an 18 + casino and i started gambling there since i was 16. at the time i had a minimum wage job and was basically spending everything i made there. now i know this is a lot smaller in the amounts but its the same concept. i was not going for the fun anymore, i was always trying to win my money back. i had to stop going so eventually i did. and as i got older i got smarter with money management so thats why i love betting on sports. i start with a certain amount and play small and build over time or lose slowly so at least im not buring holes in my pockets. thats all i was trying to say earlier. if this is not possible for you then u need to tell friends and family or call the hotline and go to the meetings. not only will this cause money problems for you but like you said, the wife and kids and family members as well. i wish u the best on everything and always here to help. sorry if i came off bad earlier. didnt mean it like that

You see all the bad things in one paragraph I highlighted? Thats a crazy amount of NEGATIVE things. You dont even know how bad it is yet bro. Its getting serious and needs addressed NOW.
Second paragraph you use HOPE 3 times. Hopes arent gonna help you. You need a plan of action and MAKE it happen. You are the only one than has that power.
I believe in you bro. You have the strength.....USE it.

Please listen to Train. You have to start doing it, not just hoping for a change. Also if you think you can tell your wife and she won't leave you, then you need to tell her right away. Having her know will not only instantly help you not feel alone, but it'll make you be accountable for your future actions as well.
Good luck buddy.Don't take this the wrong way but I hope we don't see you around here anymore.

Good luck bro. Just know u r not alone. My life has been a lie for 10 plus years. Didnt realize how sick it was until Greek and Jamaica closed and they offered a % of your losses to sign with another site. When I found out it was 100K I wanted to throw up. I've collected over 10K this fall from the man and have no idea where it went, and of course get crushed the week before Xmas and havent shopped yetIt's a gut wrenching sickness.

Good luck bro. Just know u r not alone. My life has been a lie for 10 plus years. Didnt realize how sick it was until Greek and Jamaica closed and they offered a % of your losses to sign with another site. When I found out it was 100K I wanted to throw up. I've collected over 10K this fall from the man and have no idea where it went, and of course get crushed the week before Xmas and havent shopped yetIt's a gut wrenching sickness. Hope this passes for you and you can get it straightened out. Good luck bud.
take the stick out your behind. he said except kill himself. i was trying to explain a way of gambling without over doing it. why dont u go jump off a bridge.
anyways...
this is what i was talking about. u say your spending basically 600 per day or so. if u dont even make close to that amount a day then u cant be betting that high. if there is no way u can bet small or at least adjusted to your payroll then u must stop and seek help. earlier when u started this thread it did not seem as serious. now the more u wrote it seems like you are way in over your head with it financially. as dangor2 was sayin, his problem isnt financial which means he probably just loves the thrill and sports in general. when your gambling on sports and its no longer for fun or doesnt bring joy to your life then you must seek help. where i live we have an 18 + casino and i started gambling there since i was 16. at the time i had a minimum wage job and was basically spending everything i made there. now i know this is a lot smaller in the amounts but its the same concept. i was not going for the fun anymore, i was always trying to win my money back. i had to stop going so eventually i did. and as i got older i got smarter with money management so thats why i love betting on sports. i start with a certain amount and play small and build over time or lose slowly so at least im not buring holes in my pockets. thats all i was trying to say earlier. if this is not possible for you then u need to tell friends and family or call the hotline and go to the meetings. not only will this cause money problems for you but like you said, the wife and kids and family members as well. i wish u the best on everything and always here to help. sorry if i came off bad earlier. didnt mean it like that
He made reference to it u dumb mothereffer. That's enough. Even a product of CA public education knows that. The man needs help, not "hot" cappers. When u get off the bus tomm, step in front of it.

Also, is there a way to stop gambling? I have tried every way possible and I still can't stop. The longest I have stopped is 4 days (when I was on holiday to Hawaii) but after that, I still gambled while I was on holiday. I'm too embarrassed to go to gamblers anon. or to seek help from church members or just general people. What can I do to stop, except kill myself?
Do everything you said you CAN"T DO in the above quote.....that is where you will find help to STOP gambling.....you WON"T find it on a GAMBLING FORUM...............The last thing you said about OFFING yourself shows your gambling problems are secondary to much bigger issues..........go get help...just NOT Here.....
For the rest of you........Take UCLA -15 to kick Long B State's behind!

Don't stop gambling. Just start winning and you'll enjoy it more lol If you can't win then just bet on high scoring teams over. At least you will enjoy the bets.
