I have a bf whos mom and him go gambling atleast once or twice a month.  They spend like $300 at a time and usually end up losing.  You need to find an addiction group to join. Basically that is all gambling is, is an addiction.  It will ruin your life and the lives of people around you if you continue on this way.

Someone asks this question several times a week. I feel terrible because I have a couple good books that I want to read. BUT, I check emails and then come in here, and that's as far as I get.......I have set time limits and that doesn't work for me. I have turned off my monitor and stayed away from the computer and that doesn't work either, because I cheat.....I am an adult, not a child.(60 years old)\n\nMy kids are worried about my addiction. They have talked about an intervention to stop me. They have talked about just coming in and removing my computer from the house.\n\nI fixed them! I changed the locks on the doors and when they call me they talk to my machine. I haven't been to work in six months. I haven't taken a shower since I can't remember when. But it is ok. I can control this. So, you see, you don't need help.

You should try again to get her into a program. Make sure she knows how much it means to you and how much damage it's doing to the relationship. There are therapy groups specifically  for gamblers. If she still refuses and you are thinking of divorce then you need to give her an ultimatum that either she works with you to face her addiction or you are going to leave her. *Warning* Any time you give an ultimatum be ready for them to choose the one you don't want them to. In your case divorce. However you cannot let your life be ruined by an addictive personality and if her gambling is more important to her than her husband then you really don't want to be in that relationship. There are also support groups for people who love people with this problem like Alanon for friends and family of alcoholics. You should try to get support for yourself as well. (One Side note) If she does frequent a casino on a regular basis you can call them and let them know what is going on. They are obligated to take steps in making sure she doesn't throw away all her money. This is a legal obligation.

A little gambling for fun is not banned by a particular do and don't in Buddhism.  Of course you can't cheat because that would fall under stealing which is prohibited.\nAny kinds of addictions are not allowed or considered a good behavior to have.  One is not supposed to be too attached to other things because they are not permanent and not a true path to happiness or Nirvana.\nYou may be happy after winning, but it won't last.  Eventually you will and most do lose.  The money or prize you win will also be gone or used up.  The other side of the coin is losing which will obviously cause harm if you spend more than you should, or just the sadness of losing your money.  The gambling addicts also forget about other things and are consumed by the acts and thoughts of gambling.\nSo it is best not to gamble.  If you feel like trying once in awhile with small amount of money, there is no need to feel uptight about it.  You should know yourself.  If you are prone to addicting behavior, don't start!!

Morning, \n\nI signed up for one year, and guess what,like everyone else I have heard reporting on it,  the telephone system lost a lot of money.  If the system was any good, they would be able to pick out the winners from the system as they use the "best bets" from the system to put out on their telephone line.  \n\nIf you are really good at finding winners on the system, you probably do not need any system to help you.  Also, you would have to back two or three horses in EVERY race to cover any  potential winner that the system might throw up.   As you can see, that is  an imposible thing to do - you would lose a fortune in one week.  Last summer, they often gave about 20+ points every day to bet on the telephone,  and bearing in mind their points in relation to the profit they advertise in the RP is £100 a point to reach their profit figure.  Needless to say, most of their telephone tips lost or those that won were at short prices, so the loss was huge.\n\nA  lot of the "winners" they claim in the RP are from the system, which they have not managed to find to put on the telephone.  If any of the races that day throw up a winner from the top three, they call that a winner even though they have not found it themselves to give out on the "best" bets form the telephone.  \n\nEvery person I have seen commenting on the system has said don't throw yuour money away and it is a huge con etc.  Obviously, they may have a few good winning bets from time to time (but not when I was a member for a year) to put in their ads but unless you can afford to lose a lot of money (plus the cost of the system and/or tele;phone service, or want to take a huge gamble, be very cautious.  I wish I had been!\n\nPerhaps you can let me know what you decide to do and how it turns out for you.  Good luck\n\nCheers

Go to your nearest Party City right away and buy the "Casino Party" package.  It contains all the info you need.  I hope they have fun.\n\nGambling can be a game if it is handled correctly.  Do not be intimidated by people who do not understand "game" dymanics.

Unfortunately there are far too many dodgy charachters out there who are ready to scam anyone (sick aren't they!).  It isn't fair especially for someone who is looking for genuine support.  All I can do is wish you well.

I found one. All I did was type in www.deaf.com and there was a link to chat. Have fun!

I used to be a problem gambler. Start from this...\n\n1. QUIT GAMBLING: this is difficult task, but can be done. Try to talk to a counsellor and/or join Gamblers Anonamous in your area. Both should be free of charge, if they are funded by government.\n\n2. You will get a job: get a new job, and make sure pay back everything you owe, unless you owe more than you could ever make. Make sure get a counsellor / agent that helps you to freeze your debt, so interest don't kill you. Bankruptcy is your last option. If you can pay back, then you should not file bankruptcy. Talk with your creditors, they will understand and give you a break most of the time, because if you file bankruptcy, then they get nothing.\n\n3. Tell the truth to your family and apologize. Most gamblers are reluctant to do so, because they "lose their faces". Remember you are the one that made the mistakes, and you need to take responsibility.\n\n4. DON'T get a loan from your family to get a quick resolution! Your debt is your reponsibility. If you don't pay back, then you will NEVER learn. However, do seek help and support from your family, so you don't become a street bum.\n\nSend me a private message if you still don't understand what I am talking about.

Well said that man... why do they have to butt in? I saw some of the replies to your last question about chat.  If they dont want to chat then why answer?  Mind you, looks like you got a few offers there, any of them come off?\nNow we have lost chat rooms where it was easy to pop in and find someone to talk to, this seems a good place to start a convo, so GOOD LUCK mate

Look in your local phone book for either a Gamblers Anynomous or Alcoholics Anynomous.\nHypnosis only works if you are really wanting to quit as does GA or AA.\nIn most cases you have to really hit a big bottom that shakes you awake enough to seek help otherwise we all live in denial.
