OK, really tell us how it all started. Who introduced you? What was the motive? Any gains or regrets?

You will be helping a lot of people

Read these stories.
Jodie’s Big Fall
Gambling addiction could be dangerous, especially when you also start drinking regularly. This is what led Jodie Nealley down the rabbit hole of excessive gambling and drinking. She has struggled with gambling and alcohol addiction, which led her to a series of unfortunate events. She couldn’t pay up for her losses at the casino, and she was sent to jail. Due to her love for gambling and her imprisonment, her husband divorced her, and she was fired from her job. When she realized that everything fell apart because of her addiction, Jodie decided she had to get her life back. She went to rehab and has been recovering from gambling and alcohol addiction for six years. Now, she is an Intervention and Recovery Support Coordinator at the Massachusetts Council on Compulsive Gambling, helping others like her to fight their addiction and start a new chapter.

What Curt Has To Say
It is scary when a person struggles with a mental disorder and addiction. Often addictive activities like shopping, gambling, binge eating, could lead to depression and unpleasant thoughts like suicidal ones. Curt is a man that has been struggling with gambling addiction for a long time. It became so bad that every time he would lose to a slot or another player at a table game, he would think and try to commit suicide. He couldn’t accept that he’s losing and has tried to commit suicide a few times. Now, Curt has checked in the Lutheran Social Services’ Gambler’s Choice Programme and, as far as we’ve heard, he’s doing quite well.

Mary Had a Gambling Problem
Mary is an average woman – has a good job and an active lifestyle. She discovered slots some time ago. From her story, we know that she first started playing for fun and to relax after a long day at work. She then started playing more often – three to four times a week and she claims she didn’t realise how serious things were going. Mary claims she felt like she was ‘on autopilot’, which took her far down the rabbit hole of addictive gambling. She went out of money because of her bad gambling habit – the situation got worse once she was no longer able to make any credit card payments. This made her stop playing on slots for about nine months. Later, when she had money in her accounts, Mary started playing again out of curiosity. This led her back to the same situation and a few other unfortunate events. We’re not sure how she’s doing now, but we hope she learned her lesson and that her life is back to normal.
