I have a gambling addiction

Gambling

I grew up watching my parents gamble. They still do but seem to control it. I can't seem to control it. I need help. I will check out the next GA in my Area but there doesn't seem to me many in my area. That is why I am joining this group. I am behind on most of my bills. I have to figure out who to play and who can wait a month. I am currently on disability for breast cancer and i won't be going back to work for another 2.5 months.

My steps.

I have already admitted to friends and family that I have a problem. I am in private counseling to help me. I just need the support network that you get from joining support groups as well as going to meetings. If I needed an AA or NA meeting I could find one everyday but I can't seem to find the same amount of meetings for GA. I live 5 mins for an Indian casino but, I can't find a GA meeting within 5 mins... You'd think that the churches around here would set up GA meetings close to casino.

I would love some support buddies to help me through those compulsive feelings. I go gambling because I don't do bars and I can talk to people. If I had some GA friends maybe this would help me.

I want a saving account again. i want to be able to go to grocery store and gas station and not worry if I have enough money. I want to get my credit score up and all my creditors on a payment plan.
Thanks
Tammy

It seems like you have set up very attainable goals, stick with it and I am sure success will come to you. Stay strong and if I can offer support on this journey-feel free to message me anytime.
