Online gambling addiction

    Hi,

    I'm sure there are other people on this forum who have got an addiction to online gambling. It's not very nice - I've know for a long time that I have a gambling problem (since i was about 17 i think - im 21 now), but only now have I really tried to tackle it.

    Being a student with not a lot of money it is a serious issue (especially with my girlfriend' b-day coming up! - expect some sites for sale soon!)

    Anyway I am confronting this slightly embarrasing problem and am happy to receive pm's from anyone in the same position. Obviously I will be treating them with absolute confidence as i understand it can be embarrassing.

    Anyway, there is hope. I have just downloaded software from:

    http://www.gamblock.com/

    there is a free one @

    http://www.nomoregambling.com/

    but it doesnt work on ff so prob not much use to you if you're internet savvy!

    It cost me $34 but I have spent over $200 in the last two days so it seems pretty cheap.

    Thanks for letting me share this with you guys.:)

    I had this same problem and I am very glad I have not gambled once for five years now.

    Thankfully, gambling is the one thing I can participate in and actually know when to quit. However, when it comes to drinking and drugging it's a different story. AA helped me immensely, and I still frequent online groups. Maybe http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ will help you.

    Good luck.

    Never had an online gambling addiction. But yes, I had a real-time gambling addiction. I visited all the casinos of all hotels and spent a lot of money. LOL

    You pay for those things with a credit card right ? Why don't you just give up
    your credit card for a year or so until you're not hooked anymore ?

    Yeah, its tough, but possible... I once won like $2,000 at Intercasino... walked away with the cash and a smile on my face and blocked their email, since they are dying to get me back to their site and having me gamble again
