Can you be addicted to slot machines?

I have terrible addiction to the slot machines. I can go to the casinos and play anything else, and not be compulsive as I am at the slots. I have gone to GA for a bit. There is is mostly sports betting or cards. I can play cards and not have and compulsion as I do with the slots. They believe that you can not gamble on anything. Even if it’s fun – no money involved. I went through a rough divorce 4 years ago. After reading some articles on line. I think it may stem from that. I now have a great guy, who does not deserve to be burden with my addiction. Is there anyone out there who has the same slot addiction. I think it would help to talk to someone with the same feeling. Thanks for listening.

Hi, I love playing slots, and are resenting the fact that i have to give it up because i finally found something that i can call my own. However, my husband feels I am addicted, and as you can tell by this that I do not think I am addicted (i suppose this is a typical reaction). If i attend the slots once or twice a week, does that make me addicted. I am there from anywhere from 1 to 4 hours when i go.. If i am addicted, are there meetings in Canada, namely around Ingersoll or London Ontario Canada. Thanks for any info you can provide.

I am addicted to slot machine and losing me a lot money. It’s time for to stop. Please help to improve my lifestyle without going to casino.

I hear certain tones on radio commercials, and I associate to a specific slot game. I see images in the opening scene of a syndicated tv show, and it reminds me of one of favorite games. I drive certain routes from work, and it is at one particular turn-off that I choose: do I go on to the casino or do I exit to go home to see my son. I try to rationalize, I’ll only spend …. I’ll try a few pulls and will be home in time to fix dinner. Next thing you know, it’s past my son’s bed time and I’ve spent every dime I can get my hands on. Then, one night, not too long ago, I discovered I had my daughter’s debit card in my wallet. I took it to the Cage. They allowed me to get a cash advance. And, then another. My daughter hasn’t spoke to me since she realized what I did. I’m waiting for the police to knock on my door. I am a compulsive gambler. I am sick and I’ve GOT to be healed!

NEED HELP WITH gambling problem

Still struggling since my last post I guess I’m April. I’m a stubborn, persistant, driven person when I want something. What I want is to have fun and win. I was capable of doing both pretty well, until I started bringing my troubles to the cadino. I’m there mostly to zone out and forget my troubles. But, I’ve just created more financial ones. I would like to know that I can do this, that I can walk in with a set amount, play it, have fun and stop or go when I need to. I just don’t want to believe I can’t get a hold of this thing! I appreciate comments from people that have got themselves back on track. Thank you for sharing.
