      Hello people.
      After a long and horrible period of being lost i decieded that i should share my story with someone because noone knows about my problem.Gambling is affecting my life last 3 years.Iv been losing a lot of money first year and really didnt care much about it.Probably because i had it enough and i was earning well.Then covid came,i lost my job,had some trouble at home.Casino was place where i would escape from reality because i couldnt deal with it.Anyway,it became my everyday life,i think that in past 3 years there wasnt a day that i didnt think of it.There were some period of 10 15 days when i would stop but then i started to gamble again with more intensity.Been losingva lot of money since then.I really dont know hot explain what i feel.What scares me the most is that i dont laugh anymore,im completely different person now.Got depression,relationship with my gf is in critical state becausebi have terrible mood swings every day,and she doesnt know what is it all about.Noone really knows.There were days when i would just sit in my room and cry l because i couldnt hold it.I never knew that my life will deterioratebto this level.Never felt so empty and helpless because im not able to do anything.I decided that i want to stop again for my girfriend and my family because i love them.I feel vetter knowing that im not alone and that you guys are here even if we dont know eachother.
      So yea,today is the start.
      P.S Sorry for my english it is not my native language.
      Take care.

      Doing it for your gf and family is huge. I just put an updated photo of my daughter on my phone to look at if I have urges to drive to the casino.

      Do it for yourself, do it so that your family and girlfriend can have the best version of you again.
      It’s hard, it’s hard as crap, but we have to want it bad enough.
      I wish we could gamble like normal folks, but when you find yourself on this site, more than likely you are a compulsive gambler.
      Good luck my friend, let’s work on getting our old life back. One day at a time. We can do this.
