re: For people on here that got sober what was the final straw?

10 years I was a fricking degenerate gambler. Started when poker blew up and was all over tv. I pissed so much money away and put my family through so much shite. In 2013, I lost my money at the casino and ended up selling one of my guns so I wouldn’t be broke for two weeks.

At that point I said frick this. I accepted defeat and haven’t looked back. I might go to the casino maybe 3-4 times a year now, but every bill is paid beforehand and I only take what I can afford to lose.

I wish you the best in rehab, but you gotta say frick it. You gotta develop the strong enough will and desire to quit. If you’re sick and tired, then you can find it in you to walk away. Put your mind to it.
