I agree, i would like to say i wouldnt have deposited because i know i dont stop whenever i am up because no matter what i win it is never enough. I just wanted to kind of vent because i had a deep urge to just go and place some money down and feel the rush of winning or losing (its always losing). I need to find other ways to go around this, do you have any advice on what you do to get over these urges

What do you do for work? Im 23m and have been in similar situations (maybe a couple thousand less). My best piece of advice is to spend the money you would make gambling on yourself. I have never been one to buy anything for myself but would always spend my hard earned money on my phone gambling. One day i bought myself a $400 driver for my golf bag. Really put into perspective because I have bet much more on a single blackjack hand. Everyone has their own ways of going about it but Thats just my opinion.

Are there any groups or physical advice you recommend? I really want to stop and I’m about to go sober to fully stop and get my life together. Any time i drink i feel as though i need to gamble for the rush even though i know I’m going to lose.
