Need To Break The Evil Grip Of Gambling Addiction

[blindwillsee]

I am down on myself and feel worthless all because of gambling. I never in my wildest dreams thought I could be an addictive gambler. It started a few years ago when I moved to an area where there are lots of Native casinos and I won about $20,000 over the course of a few months mostly slots and I thought I couldn't lose. Since then I was intermittently winning but have lost way more than I won don't even want to say, to the point I am in deep debt and now have no retirement. It grabs ahold of you when you lose, and you play to try to recoup your previous losses problem is even when you win it isn't good enough so you keep playing and lose more. It is an endless cycle. I also go to the casino because I am lonely and don't want to go to the bars and I know there are others that have the same problem there I do and we talk but still gamble. I want to break this cycle it is killing me and I feel terrible about myself every time I come home. I know I shouldn't go but I still do I do not understand this it must be truly an evil that has ahold of my soul. This is a huge problem for every age and race. I see retirees blowing their retirement checks, working people who get into trouble, young people getting further into debt. Please pray for all of us that can't break away from this evil that destroys lives. We need everyone that can pray to pray to break this cycle for all of us because it is a huge epidemic all over. Thank you and God Bless!!

Dear Lord Jesus you have helped this man to see. He has seen what his sinful habit has gotten him and is truly remorsful. I ask that you would remove the temptation for himself to fix his money problems and to turn to you for you to restore him first and then his money. Please set him free from all his pain and suffering and restore him. May he prosper as his soul prospers.

It can be hard. I like to play myself, but I know what discipline is required and will pass it to you through prayer.

I stand in agreement with all these prayers especially this one for Blindwillsee. May You lead him to the church that You will have for him to be planted in and may he grow in the full knowledge of You, as we pray, in Jesus' Name, amen-Matthew 18:18-19

I want to add that being super stressed out at work all the time has not helped this issue. I am glad I am severing the ties with the employer I work with now. It will be difficult not having the paycheck but it will also make it so I do not have any disposable income. I used to drink when I got stressed I don't do that anymore but it has switched to mindlessly playing the slot machines.

I appreciate the posts people have made but if you do not have a gambling addiction it isn't a simple choice of staying away from other gamblers. People that have gambling problems are not evil people that you should stay away from they could be people in your church or your neighbors or even your friends and you just don't know they have a problem. The casino's have successfully targeted the video game community. Little old ladies that like playing mahjong on their computer or solitaire get hooked easily.

My purpose for this post was intended for all people that have problems with gambling to be prayed for not just me. Gambling addiction is one of the biggest unknown problems in the country right now because the people that have a problem with it are very embarrassed they have this problem feel very stupid and humiliated and can't tell anyone but another gambler usually. It is a problem where someone with no intentions of becoming a problem gambler can get hooked very easily, it triggers natural dopamine in the body naturally without chemical inducement that drug addicts get. This is why it is so addictive. It truly is the work of the devil.

I hope this gives a better understanding to everyone about this and that prayers are sent to everyone that has a problme with gambling so they do not continue to destroy their lives. My first step was asking for help so please keep praying for me to have the strength to stay away from and break this addictive behavior. God Bless!!
