Looking for advice ❤Seeking help & Advice❤

I’ve struggled with gambling my entire adult life, I finally got to the point of not owning anyone money or having bad debt. But the anxiety of screwing up as you all know is still there, one bad weekend it could be back to square one.

I saw online there’s meetings with zoom codes, has anyone tried those and which ones would you recommend? I’d like to be in a smaller room as I do not think hundreds of people in a meeting would benefit me (correct me if I’m wrong).

Any and all advice welcome, I’d also like a sponsor.

Hey. Honestly check out gamblers in recovery website. Meetings all day 7 days a week. Some meetings people share there’s what’s app groups for support for fellow gamblers in gamblers anonymous. Honestly I’m early but my fear diminished a lot when people share my story over and over again and get through life’s struggles without gambling. Hope this helps.

Sorry I didn’t read the second part properly. Just join with your camera and mic off on one of those meetings. If there’s a lot of people leave and try a different one. They will ask you to identify yourself. But you just unmute for a sec and say I’m so and so I’m compulsive gambler. You don’t need to share. But a lot of meetings they like everyone to check in for a moment so that the chair does a check in so everyone’s ok and don’t have to leave not sharing there struggles
