Anyone gamble a lot??? I'm spending so much it's crazy. I have like 5 payday loans that I can't pay. I stopped for a year then I started again. I'm going to credit counselling next week to see if they can help me get out of this debt. Anyone else going through this??

 
Sorry you're dealing with this! I've been lucky enough to ALWAYS lose when I gamble, so I never caught the bug. Lucky loser I guess lol /default_smile.png I have friends though who have dealt with this, and it's just as hard to deal with as a drug problem. They were addicted to the adrenaline rush.

 
I personally don't gamble for money - I have enough other addictions.

But if you think about it most of us here are gambling bigtime.

Chris I wish you luck and hope you can find the strength to find your way back. Support groups can be very helpful. If being in a room full of people freaks you out then maybe start with online message boards. You can admit issues without being embarrassed or shamed in front of people then maybe work up to a live group.

 
Thanks headbanger and coryandtrevor. I did go to those meetings about 5 years ago about people telling me the stories they had about gambling. I went about 6 times. It didn't help at all. It was interesting hearing some stories but at the end of the day, stories won't help you stop. I guess at the end of the day I need to do it on my own. I know I love the rush when I win but when I'm leaving , I have nothing left. I will give it another try to stop. I just hope credit countselling will help with all this money I owe. That's what there for, to help people that have debt problems. So I hope they can help. Thanks.

 
Yeah Chris meetings aren't for everybody. I went for a year but keep relapsing cause all that people talked about was getting fucked up all meeting long.

When I stopped going to meetings is when I stopped relapsing cause I was not thinking about it 24 hours a day.

Had a couple of minor short lapses in 11 years other than that I've been sober almost the whole time.

 
Congratulations to you HB! 11 years is no joke.

Yes, I have been bitten by the gambling bug. Started out lucky and all was grand.

But that always comes to an end. When I started to lose, I noticed I'd become bitchy. Didn't like the way it felt, like a bad drug withdrawal. Have scaled back considerably and am working hard on some self discipline.

Sorry that you're in such a jam C. Just stay focused on getting back on track.

 
2e, 11 years less a few months but it's still means a lot to me even though it was not continuous. My point is I don't have to struggle daily or make bad decisions anymore and the urges are gone. One of the most important lessons I've learned over the years is the fact I can deal with life and life's crisis without reaching for something to cope.

Anyone else here who might be struggling I hope and pray for you that you find your way back to an enjoyable and purposeful life.

AA is a great place to start and has helped many, many people. But it's not for all and I decided that early on. Through a combination of SSRI's and therapy I was able to find a way to  live life without D&A.

Chris I know you have the strength to deal with your problem. Just keep keeping on, and talk to people. That's what helped me the most.

Chris, take the points and the over. Jk. Seriously though, just remember that you don't have control of the outcome. This helped me stop gambling because if you think about it those of us that gamble think we are smart. Maybe you are and maybe you are not. The point is you CAN NOT control the outcome no matter how many stats you researched. So if you can't afford it don't bet it. I still gamble but as soon as I go on a losing streak, I stop. And I won't bet again until after I get my income tax return lol. Yes I will wait. I was out of control but I stopped for a few years and now I have my priorities straight. Good luck.

 
I gamble for fun, I think everyone has there vices, and some are worse than others.

  1. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @eswen444 might be a little more difficult and involve a little more planning, as well as price increases on certain items, but all of those will still be available, trust.
  2. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan i’m sure they made good money off of it and took the shit off the shelves, but I bet you it’s still available if you ask for it upon request especially if they know your regular buyer. I, like you, just bought kilos online to save money back in the day. I would only buy your shit from the smoke shops if I was that desperate.
  3. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan like I said before I’m a recovering opiate addict so I choose not to touch the shit at all but I’ve been to smoke shops because I buy disposable vape products and other accessories, but every smoke shop I’ve been to over the last few years have had kratom “front and center” and easy to see. About 2/3 years ago 7oh products began appearing and it got completely out of control. I remember telling one of the owners of my regular shop that 7oh it’s not gonna end well
  4. E @ eswen444: *or post here. Holy spelling problems....but also for everyones info what im told is as of 8/1/2026 7oh, MIT, MGM, and other concentrates will be scheduled 1. Its an emergency schedule which lasts TWO YEARS and they can request an additional if needed. I feel horrible for all the homie/homettes who have to deal with this.
  5. E @ eswen444: @MorfineOrfan do you have a link to the chems the DEA blans to emergency schedule? If so please pm it to me or lost here. From what im told from my corporate over seers everything BUT raw leaf, and capsuled leaf will be removed from shelves 7/31/26
  6. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: We made it to another Friday ladies and gents. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, be safe out there.
  7. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z i have no clue what the supply and demand is like for brick and mortar shops, i havnt been in a smokeshope in 15-20years and back then none of them had or even knew what kratom was. Ive always bought kratom from vendors online, back in tge day we would use babel fish translator to haggle with vendors on kilo prices lol. But you dont need to worry mit will always be available if leaf is.
  8. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @nameofuser11 its not just 7/mgm/psuedo and sr, the dea has a huge list of compounds its banning with this ban. Odsmt is one, all the orphines and a ton more.
  9. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Lole onion sites?
  10. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: @eiffraffca what ya mean
  11. R @ Riffraffca: Has anyone used and markets on the Dark Web?
  12. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @nameofuser11 Lol, happens to the best of us my friend. I think plain leaf will remain pretty easy to access, and prices shouldn’t fluctuate too much. Read up on how to use btc if you don’t know already. It’s not rocket science :)
  13. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: I donated and I forgot how to get the password. I am a moron. Don't worry I have no plans on becoming a vendor with my stupidity
  14. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: @st1ckyf1ng4z you're right of course. But being able to purchase with a debit card on a clearnet site with quality labs and low prices will be gone.
  15. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: Especially if they’re using mitragynine as the parent alk to make substitutes. I think it will affect plain leaf too at the very least it will not be as available as it’s been.
  16. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan @nameofuser11 That’s wild. But basic supply/demand tho, right? In my area all the leaf has been pulled off shelves,
  17. J @ j00ciiez: It sucks they're banning sr17. It seems to be a holy grail for many ppl.
  18. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: To clarify plain leaf kratom is not a part of this ban. Mitragynine might be fine. 7, psuedo,mgm15 and sr1708 are what are on the table to be banned most likely but hopefully just regulated.
  19. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z and yes , there are already indole alkoloids with tweaked scaffolding ready to take the place of 7/mgm, all with mitragynine as their parent alkoloid. The game of wack a mole starts the minute 7 is officially banned. Its 2013 K2 all over
  20. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan Also, it’s just a matter of time before another alternative pops up on the market anyway….
