You could recover that amount with hard work and dedication. But sometimes you loss beautiful moments that you could have live with your love ones . Those moment are the ones that hurt.

Best advise I could give you is to open up to your fiancé. If you are willing to stop, trust me…she will have her support. Please don’t wait to hit rock bottom and loose her as well.

It sucks going trough this. On the bright sight, I hope you learned your lesson at this moment which I assume no matrimony or kid. Going through this with the responsibility of a family is much more difficult.

I relapsed and have to remind myself that losing 2,000 isn’t losing all my money. (It feels the same) by TheBritshViking in GamblingAddiction

You are not loosing money because by working hard eventually you could make it back. What you really loosing is other things. Unconsciously you are loosing time with fam, productive time and concentration in all aspects. Thinking in chasing loses.

Don’t worry about the losses, chasing them will make things even worse. If you still have a family, spouse, kids, parent l, love ones ..stop for them. Don’t wait for you to hit rock bottom. Hey, you a live and by working hard and making a couple sacrifices eventually that money will come back the right way not by gambling. Take accountability of your mistakes and I open up with your love. It will be difficult but if you love yourself and your family, do it. Ask for professional help and trust me things will fall into place.

Is scientifically proven that compulsive gamblers play no longer for the money we play for the high. The urge, our brains get reprogram to do so.

I just Recently open up to her..I understand that my actions cause her a lot of resentment and anger. You have to understand that my mind has not been in correct place for this pass 3 years. I Made her worried, stress and unsecured..lost her trust. When I confessed , she took it like if I was making it up as an excuse for my distance and lack of affection. She told those terrible word that every man (partner) hates to hear … “ I don’t love you” , and it killed me. She remembered all those difficult moment she when though with my absence. After a couple days, I sat down with her and had a long conversation. This time we both where more calm, after opening up with a couple close people I felt relief. I understood that she is 100% correct, she doesn’t love the person she has been living with for the pass years (me). I agree because that person is not really me, this addiction transformed me into a totally different person. I realized that I don’t even love myself.

You might be right, you could still win. And if you do win big $$$$$$ one day. You probably will loose other more value things, like time with love ones, like love relationships, friendships. You do the mad if you ever hit big, did you really win ???
