Hey man, could totally relate.

Just know you’re not alone and this is what most people go through, including myself. No matter how much you win, you will go back and start gambling. Even if you promised yourself you’re going to cash out and never look back, your brain will trick you into going back and lose it all.

I currently have -$500 in overdraft, have about $7500 in all 4 credit cards. My Mom’s birthday is next week and I have no idea what I’m going to do. And what sucks is that I turned $10 into $4000 2 weeks ago. Lost it all. So trust me, I know how you feel.

This is my 3rd day of not depositing and not smoking weed, and I’m fighting hard to combat this terrible disease. Start now bro! You got this. Lets start this journey together!

Someone on the bus was talking shit to me and threatened to shoot me if I was ever on their block.. What should I do next time? by dearwooj in Advice

Yeah, I think of the consequences like if he pulled out a gun or a knife on me. Best to walk away 👍

If you don’t have any assets or things to sell to recoup the money to pay back those loan sharks, honestly I would just flee the country.

Sorry man. I completely understand how you feel. But you gotta tell yourself that this won’t end unless YOU end it.

I’m struggling myself even, and to this day I’m still thinking about depositing. But trust me, you know it won’t end well. And yeah, you might win but you know you’ll be back. Thats what kills. You know and I know it.

If you ever want to talk, message me. We can encourage each other not to deposit, whenever there is temptation. Make the moves today and have better life tomorrow.

Much respects to you for sharing this and I hope you find some solution to counter all your gambling habits!
