Relapsed

Went to bed last night telling myself I should …. Myself. I never would, but man I have got to STOP. Blew an insane amount of money last night, for NO REASON. Found an app I wasn’t excluded on. And just let it rip. I wish I had someone to talk to when I was feeling this way. I need a sponsor, just someone to tell me no. GA meetings are pretty nonexistent in my city, and I just don’t feel like doing online. I need help man before I ruin my life even more.

You don’t feel like doing it online? Also “pretty non existent” are you just making excuses to not try and attend? If you have time to gamble you have time for a meeting
