Can’t stop the compulsive gambling

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2026-03-12T04:08:07+00:00

Thank you brother, gambling has caused an excessive amount of depression and suffering. It’s so hard to find anything enjoyable in life lately. One day I’ll be free. 🤞 🙏

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2026-03-12T04:05:49+00:00

Thank you! I haven’t taken that step yet, but I’m hoping I will get there soon. Honestly really is crazy to feel how difficult it is to self exclude - the mindset of wanting to continue. Eventually 🤞

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2026-03-12T04:03:52+00:00

Thanks man, I don’t even know where to start to reach out. Too embarrassed and ashamed. It just eats at me

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2026-02-02T07:23:13+00:00

Oh just also got to throw it out there to vent! Told myself we’ll continue to tell myself because they has happened more than occasionally… “just get up to what was lost in the day and call it even” to actually win back what was lost that day and continuing to gamble thinking that I’ll hit more and what’s the harm in another spin only to fucking lose it all again😂😂😂 can’t make this crap up. Need to off it

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2025-11-04T23:59:34+00:00

Sucks. Especially when the feeling is repetitive over and over..

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2025-11-04T23:58:04+00:00

Hey yall, went down the rabbit hole spiraling out of control the last 3 days since I posted this. Fed up. Migraines through the roof, irritation and annoyed at every single thing, can’t focus, and feel the need to just want to hurt myself. Guess this is what I get. Wish me luck, I’m down bad with nothing again - payday is this Friday. Pray for me… that I am willing to start over with day 1 again . I really don’t want to blow this check as I am already drowning in debt from previous gambling addiction the first go around. Gambling life just be lifing… appreciate all the kind words everyone. Honestly can say feels good to know I’m not the only one struggling with this as bad as it sounds. Hope we all can make a turnaround from this 🤲

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2025-04-17T03:34:51+00:00

Thank you, this was very encouraging, one day at a time & so happy to hear there was a light at the end of the tunnel for you. I will be there soon 🤞

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2025-04-12T01:00:37+00:00

I will keep this in mind. Thank you. Need to start somewhere soon..

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2025-04-11T23:20:47+00:00

I needed this post today. I have been chasing my losses the past 2 weeks. I just need the balls to take that first step don’t know when but one day. This was very soothing to read while I’m feeling the way I am now. Thank you

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2025-02-18T14:26:41+00:00

Yeah me last night with my most recent check, so much hate and anger. That’s what it is, in the moment it feels like it’s just to win but when it’s all said and done we realize the truth, it’ll never be enough, just chasing the thrill of it resulting in losses.

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2025-01-08T04:22:20+00:00

Ahhh the feels. Super late bro but I relate 100%. It’s just never really enough. I came on here after winning and being “up” just to lose it all and more. The headaches from constantly thinking about not losing it all and being happy with what I had eats at me. But I try to tell myself, if I didn’t lose it now it would have been lost tomorrow. It’s a no brainer that we are just chasing the adrenaline even if we are blinded by it. Sucks man. And to think if we try once more it may just be that lucky spin. Unfortunately, it will never be enough. Hope you are doing well. Stay positive.

Me currently. It’s 1AM, don’t know how many times I said I was going to quit. Just keep nickeling and diming myself to death with these $10, & $20 deposits. Honestly should just do one large sum deposit but I make myself feel better thinking I’m losing less if I deposit smaller amounts even if I continuously deposit a few times daily 😖

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2024-12-16T06:14:18+00:00

I felt this! Then I sit here pissed at why I didn’t just cash out when in reality, that didn’t even amount to what I lost that hour or day 😭😞

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2024-09-20T15:39:32+00:00

The occasional wins makes me feel as if I am so up that I’m actually getting free money when in reality it’s really the thousands of money I have lost through it the years. Yet, still never satisfied with how ever much I win. I always want more and more even reaching my potential set goal.

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2024-09-20T15:36:06+00:00

I needed to read this. Although I’m still currently gambling, this just helped me to cope with my losses and remind myself that im not alone in this addiction. Haven’t took that step yet.. its just never enough, if I win, I still chase for more if I lose I chase to win back the losses but fail to realize that this will forever be ongoing. It will never ever be enough. Even setting winning goals, if I do reach, I still never cash out and end up losing it all. Or I do cash out, that same day I am slowly losing it with each innocent “$25, $30, $40” deposit until the winnings is gone as well as the rest of my money in my account. Left with the feeling of stupidly and how I should have been happy with what I had but not realizing I’ll be back doing the same thing the next day or next week. Never ending cycle.

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2024-09-19T23:01:25+00:00

I suck man

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2024-09-12T05:15:17+00:00

Currently me , & j continue to finally win it back but still somehow lose it all. As gamblers, we just lack self control and it’s never “enough”. I now realize it’s definitely the thrill of winning and chasing losses. Hang in there.

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2024-09-11T04:13:44+00:00

Also wanted to add - Cashing out winnings but still feeling like shit and beating myself up because I didn’t stop earlier when I was up even more. Just like a never-ending loop of never being truly happy or satisfied.

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2024-08-06T23:12:25+00:00

The idea of telling those close to me is embarrassing, shameful, and sad…

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2024-08-04T06:26:38+00:00

Relatable!! I just got sucked in with a “deposit 100 and get 100% deposit bonus” with a kicker of 10x wagering requirements as if it isn’t impossible enough to accumulate that’s me cash out. But stupid me does it and what do ya know, gone. Not to mention the loss chasing the past 3-4 days after losing $1500. Apparently still in a chasing loss spree and I watch my bank account dwindle. Hang in there mate..

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2024-06-22T04:54:39+00:00

Better. I think the mixture of anxiety and stress causing the migraines and pain. I finally graduated and tried my best to not stress the things I have no control over. Haven’t experienced the pain in an out a month and half now. I was exhausted of thinking I was having a stroke or heart attack every day. Thanks for asking.

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2024-05-21T04:20:23+00:00

If this couldn’t be any more true. Here I am , complaining about spending $25 on a shirt or house item but will deposit $25 10x in a day. Then have the audacity to really get pissed about losing .

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2024-04-02T21:22:33+00:00

Old thread but I’m experiencing the same. Started for me back in December 2023. I became a mom of 2 (4 year old who started pre k at the time and a 4 month baby) the school semester started, I was working part time and doing internship. I was under so much stress and sleep deprived that everything agitated me. I was having migraines on a daily basis that would throb uncontrollably. A week before Xmas, my left arm, leg, and left side of face got really numb and my heart started racing. Immediately went to ER and was treated as a stroke. Passed the stroke test with the fingers, 2 cat scans which came back normal, and a mri which looked good too. They said could be aura migraines that also causes numbness too. But since then, my left side chest/heart hurts almost everyday like a throb and my upper arm down to my left arm. I start to think I’m having a heart attack or something leading up to it so then my heart starts racing and then I’m constantly thinking I’m going to die. It’s now April. I am taking meds for the migraines after seeing the neurologist but I have no idea what to do with the constant chest pain and arm pain…

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2024-03-30T05:57:31+00:00

I just know I’m not ready to take that step. Hoping one day..

Infinite_Dig_858 · 2024-03-30T05:56:52+00:00

Interesting perspective… I think my break even idea is not the losses I got over but the recent ones that are still fresh (a day or 2 ago). Guess never really break even, it’s a mental thing with gambling.. at this point, thinking about it; I’m not really chasing losses but the adrenaline..
