Hi bdesail986, You are not a loser!! We never set out to become a cg! For me it was the inability to cope with the stresses in my life. I used gambling as a way (destructive) to escape. Be proud of yourself for being gamble free for a week. Have you thought of going to GA meetings? Just a suggestion. I found them to be very helpful. Also, if you could have someone you trust take care of your finances, bank and atm cards. Limit you access to cash. Keep posting and reading threads here. Keeping busy helped me also. Stay strong!!Seize all the good things in life
