First time writing here. Laying here in my bed knowing I am a compulsive gambler. I’ve lost my entire life savings of over 30000 over the last year. Have talked my family about my problem and still gamble away everything I have and am just about at my rock bottom. Feel sick to my stomach because my grandparents gave me 10000 for tuition and have gambled it away and then some. I am about 30000 in the hole and just cannot stop. I have known I have a problem for over a year and just continue to gamble away every dollar I have to spare away and don’t know what to do. Finally came to this site after google searching “I have lost everything gambling and don’t know what to do”, to make matters even worse. winning 500$ on a standard 4 of a kind in video poker doesn’t even get an adrenaline rush out of me anymore because I’m so far down and I just do not know what to do.
