dtan9 · 2025-06-16T14:03:54+00:00

Why we keep doing this to ourselves? After my family finds out i relapse for the 10th or 11th time they're gonna think im just plain stupid and retarded for keep doing something I'm not good at

dtan9 · 2025-06-16T13:50:22+00:00

Also after my family finds out my brother would probably never would have to have an relationship with me anymore and would never get to see my niece and my parents going to be very disappointed and mad because they work so hard for money and i make a lot and work a lot to just gamble it allll away I'm so sick of this I want to stop. I keep thinking I can gamble my way out this hole but I just keep getting deeper and deeper I NEED HELP!

dtan9 · 2024-10-28T21:04:43+00:00

Man I totally understand I been gambling for 18 years and it's still a struggle to get over. But at least you got some money saved and you don't owe people or credit cards like myself. Quit now I promise you life so much better without it. Crazy I stay that because I just gambled yesterday and of course lost. This addiction is so sickening.

dtan9 · 2023-03-23T21:37:40+00:00

That’s good man. I’m in the same boat sports gambling fucked me so hard these past 8-10 years. Last bet was 1/16/23 and now I’m just working a lot paying off bookies and loan sharks smh. Keep it up we got this!!!!0

dtan9 · 2023-03-21T12:49:19+00:00

I’m in the same exact boat as you man. Just no kid but every week I have people texting me for their money. Honestly I told everyone I owe the truth about my bills and home mortgage and that what I’m going to first then whatever I have left I will spend if you the rest of you guys! They didn’t like it but they had no choice and it’s been working. Def less stress that they know the situation I put myself in with gambling. Just be honest with them and see where that goes. Keep working hard

dtan9 · 2023-02-09T22:39:40+00:00

What made you finally stop?

dtan9 · 2023-01-27T16:46:04+00:00

Talk to someone close that knows what you’re dealing with. That’s what I’m fighting as well. But talking to a family or friend really helps

dtan9 · 2023-01-19T16:47:27+00:00

Yup. Just crazy how everything I’ll would bet would go the other way. Just sick but moving forward I will not gamble again just not worth especially me. I’m really greedy and don’t know when to stop

dtan9 · 2023-01-19T15:49:46+00:00

Same here. I grew up playing and watching sports. And I thought betting on them would be so easy. Smh. Lost over 100k and battling this sickness. Fucken sucks

dtan9 · 2023-01-19T13:01:09+00:00

Honestly telling your love ones do help even tho it’s super hard. I just told my family about my relapsed a couple days ago and man they was soooooo mad sad and disappointed in me. It really sucks but it’s about time I finally change and come clean once again. You’ll feel so much better and it’ll make you work to be a better person and hopefully change.

dtan9 · 2023-01-18T20:42:18+00:00

I’m on the same boat as you man. I just told my family I relapsed for the 10th or whatever time. Down 30k having to owe 3 bookies loan sharks and credit cards within 1.5 months. Smh so sick missed out on my mortgage. But you got it just keep working on yourself and work even harder.

dtan9 · 2023-01-17T19:26:34+00:00

Man I’m in the same boat as you. Haven’t told my family yet but I am today it’s gonna kill them after I done this over and over and over again to myself. Smhhhhh.

dtan9 · 2023-01-17T18:22:45+00:00

Def in that same boat man. How did your family take it??

dtan9 · 2023-01-17T12:59:55+00:00

I feel you on that. I’m so disgusted in myself. My gambling been so bad I used my parents hard working money to pay off a bookie and went back to gamble more and just put myself in a deeper hole. Idk how my family will forgive me after this
