Few months ago i won £1500 from £50 literally said to myself that is it i wont gamble ever again. Big win pay off what i own. Next thing you know i lost all of that i then proceeded to gamble 2 months worth of rent. They now threatening me to kick me out if i don't pay in full. Keep in mind i have a girlfriend and baby at home. Why is it so hard to stop. Such a loser feeling. This been my first day of not gambling and borrowing money in 10months but the feeling comes and goes what if i make that £1500 again. But you never will. There got to be better wats of stopping. submitted by /u/Aardvar ..read more

Today: • I am grateful that I’m alive and rested after a solid 7 hours of well-needed sleep. • I am grateful that I booked a trip to visit one of my spiritual mentors that I’ve been holding off on until I knew I was going to be employed again. • I am grateful that my family and I will be leaving for a 5-day vacation to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. It will be so nice to reconnect with nature. • I am grateful that this is just another step in my life’s journey, and it’s up to me to be present for it and enjoy the ride. • I am grateful that gambling is no longer part of my life’s journey ..read more

Just reflecting on my life this all started about 6 years ago and it feels like 2 decades at this point. Fortunate enough to have recovered most of my savings over the course of 4 years from being wiped out back then but I'm still struggling mentally. Now my only constraints are holding long term crypto positions that have been flat since 2021. I'm tired of checking that shit everyday hoping for a 2x, looking at shills on Twitter plotting meme TA charts, and being married to my bags. It makes me want to just sell it all and move on with my life, or worse, gamble. I have this fantasy of going ..read more

It seems like people only ever talk about gambling addiction being a problem when you lose but I feel like it is a problem even when you win. Sports betting became legal in my area two years ago. I was lured in by the generous welcome bonuses and the “free money” came easy at the beginning. Once that ran out, I started doing the casino promos. Got very lucky and built my bankroll from 5k up to 50k. Set a goal of hitting 100k and slowly grinded my way there. Just when I was right about to hit it, I went on a horrible streak of losing and lost 40k in one night. I was devastated and hated myself ..read more

I was clean. Months. Just lost $4800 in one night. That was everything I saved for littarly months. I was so proud. All the progress I made down the drain. Back to square one. Tonight I had a small relapse. I was up a couple hundred dollars. I was pumped. Then lost it as usual. Then I kept chasing it. I've never been one to chase losses so this was new for me. I actually don't know what to do anymore. I already disabled the new gambling account. I now have $87 to get me to next payday. And then that all goes to bills. I know it was self inflicted, and I am so ashamed. Not to mention, my wife ..read more
