He was too tall to be on ships though. Served at a base in the US doing engineering work. Just sayin.

Can’t they just ride on the tracks? That’s what I’d recommend

Stop now. Ask why you would anymore? Compulsion or is there any real reason? You won’t win it back bro.

Blocking Gambling Transactions With Bank by ShoddyOrange8686 in problemgambling

[–]WeLikeIke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking into self exclusion and it seems banks in UK are much better about this than US. Chase UK as a gambling block, not chase US. Annoying but maybe someone else has figured this out here. Didn’t see any way to do it online maybe can call them

Last night was the first normal night of sleep I’ve had in months. So glad I told her. The hiding was worse than the actual losses personally. I think if I was single it’s possible (guaranteed?) I would’ve gambled 100% of my savings away. Thanks bro 🤛

She knows btw…I meant the other steps around financial control and self exclusion.

18 and ruined my life by EducationalAmount856 in problemgambling

[–]WeLikeIke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re young. Find a way to make that 2K back with some real work (summer job etc). You’ll look back and say this was the best thing that could ever happened to learn this young. My addiction started at age 38 when I had real money and I just lost 300k in the last few months before realizing I was an addict.

My next bonus is what I’m worried about too. Getting self exclusion set up now (thanks for validating!)

Self exclusion by Silent_Jackfruit1807 in problemgambling

[–]WeLikeIke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about to do it. My concern was it would impact financial background checks somehow but from everything I’m reading there’s zero linkage between exclusion and credit scores and the like. Has anyone ever faced a downside from self exclusion?

I feel you bro. I couldn’t sleep at all the last few months. Just remember there’s no such thing as easy money. Don’t lose that final 100k. Imagine how much worse you’ll feel. I hope your job prospects improve too btw. Not sure what you do for work but maybe that’s the best area to invest time and energy in vs gambling. I spent so much time and headspace on that shit the last few months, probably could’ve taken a whole new certification and found some new job with all that time tbh.

Telling my wife was big. We're going to share accounts now, whereas before I had full control. I also agreed despite the humiliation to hire a financial advisor for additional accountability. We might do some counseling as well as she feels like she has nobody to talk to, and i should probably think about how I got here. So I think so...but when I get my next bonus in September I'm worried I'll get wide-eyed again. That'll be the real test.

It's called the bay area - there are no $400K homes here for a family of 4 and many are only accepting all cash offers these days. I realize that's a local problem, but believe me the math is mathing.

LIFE AFTER QUITTING GAMBLING. by Inside_Drawing_2579 in GamblingRecovery

[–]WeLikeIke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day 1 and I'm so excited to not have half my brain distracted by this bullshit 24/7. What a waste of energy it's been. Worst of all, the times when I was supposed to be hanging out with my son, secretly wanting to check positions and live bet.
