    once you are a compulsive gambler, you must accept the fact that you never gamble like a normal person. Just a small bet will make all the vicious cycle start again: illusion, feeling high, depressions and death. I’ve been there, and in your situations, you’re gona gamble again, believe me.
    Just dont place another bet again. That’s the only way out of this gambling hell. It’s simple but it takes hard work and dedications to get your life back. I’m doing that and you can !

    i think you’re dealing with urges to win back all the money that you lost. Me too, so many times but always ended up losing more than i could afford. Stop and find a way to clear the debt, step by step, creditor by creditor. I used to think that i could do that in a day, it ended up lasting a year.

    I’ve been gambling for 4 years now. sure thing it’s gotten worse every year. I got hooked up on gambling when I was jobless, didnt know how dangerous, just playing for fun: baccarat, poker, lottery. Then i got job and started playing more and more till I took out loan from the banks to cover and chase my loss. In September, I declared bankruptcy.
    I managed to stop 3 times this year by will power, and 12 step program, I dont have GA group around me. Eachtime i last about 70s day before I relapse.
    I am still going to work but i still hate myself.
    I just need a new way to maintain sobriety and abstient, thank you for listening
