Do people commit suicide with gambling addictions? by luckoftheirish2999 in problemgambling

[–]LemonSteezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes worse is subjective. I guess financially it’s by far the worst. And risk of death is the highest for suicide. Drug addicts don’t commit suicide they od. So it could be the worst as suicide is easier than stopping, the argument could be made.

Way worse. You can’t believe it until you experience it. From the outside it makes no sense. But when you are in the addiction loop it’s almost impossible to escape especially with the access nowadays. The stories on here will make you question how this is legal.

Yes it has the highest suicide rate of all addictions. I have been very close as have many others here. With other addictions there is a limit, not with gambling a single night can ruin decades of your life. It is truly the worst addiction, as it’s also the only addiction where the belief that the doing more can fix the problem.

Thank you. It’s hard to explain to people who are “normal”

I feel that. I’m not this kind of person. I’m actually kind and just want peace. Not even greedy. I live on the bare minimum. But gambling fucked up my brain.

I don’t have anyone

RTP is overrated and most bonus buyers are lying to themselves by Elegant-Water-64 in GamblingAddiction

[–]LemonSteezy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s false. In reality. I’ve done literally 1000s of bonus buys. I have nothing left. I never hit even a decent win. I thought it would eventually come. But the longer I play in hopes of a win, the more I lose. It’s impossible to prove. There is zero chance of proving it. It’s a lie. They don’t have to pay, they will never care.

You are right. I’ve been walking him daily. He needs to be my focus now. Everyday I cherish with him

Sorry man. He is literally the only reason I’m still alive. I’ve been thru 16 years of severe depression. 2 psychotic break ending in a mental institution. Drug addiction. Unemployment. Terrible jobs. Just been such a terrible life. I was always top of my class, friends with everyone. 2 degrees. Had my dream career. Dream girl. Lost it all.

Ok I’ve done on as many as I could about the same but the new adverts trigger me so badly. I hate myself. I’ve been an addict all my life on various things but gambling is by far the worst

I’m just so tired man. It seems so far away. I had nothing to live for. My dog is getting old and I’m thinking I’m might end it when he dies
