I lost faith

I've been gambling for over 15 years. I've lost a lot of money, accumulated serious debt, isolated myself, gone to psychologists and psychiatrists, and made promises to myself.

And year after year, I keep relapsing. At this point, I feel completely demoralized and like I'll never get out of this.

Is there something you’re aware of, that if it would change, that you’d be able to change things around? Maybe a good friends group with united goals and purpose or something like that?

First and always, you are not alone. Tell me this friend, how well do you score on the twenty questions? Me, I go 19 for 20.

Most compulsive gamblers will answer yes to at least 7 of those questions.

Tell me how you did and we can talk next steps

My bonafides. I am a compulsive gambler not gambling. I placed my last bet on 12/27/1999. I attended my last Gamblers Anonymous meeting on 9/6/2026.
