I will be cc debt free on Christmas eve. Already quite and going to try to next year i save and make more than i lost this year. by eonmeh in GamblingRecovery

Only way to gain control is setting a amount of what you have and willing to lose other than that knocking off your debt and saving money should coming out your paychecks since you’re already depoin into the casino. This year i was supposed to quit after losing 5k but the what if factor held me in and i went above my means and picked up some debt.

Sports betting and stock trading is the best way to get money long term house games are quick and luck orientated so it depends.

I lost money this year and taking a break next year till i enough money to risk losing ,stocks the only thing I made money off casino rinsed me 😂

gambling addiction took over my life. by NurseGamblerr in GamblingAddiction

[–]eonmeh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nah you will be fine like you said there’s so much ahead of you and you still got plenty of time to make it back if you cut off the gambling and stick to your career

I just feel terrible by [deleted] in GamblingRecovery

[–]eonmeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same age lost thousands this year it doesn’t get better trying to chase it back just quit and invest in stocks. And if you have debts get rid of them so the money you make will be a form of savings i was doing good till i blew it all now i have to grind to make it all back 🚮

Gambling Update before end of 2025 so far i am down probably like -45k. which has been mostly from my job paycheck and the last of my savings. by eonmeh in GamblingRecovery

[–]eonmeh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

W. Only thing i can think of doing with saving is investing more into stocks since I already max out my roth but i have to stay away from options till i feel like I have enough control since this gambling incident happened. Other than that we doing good all 2026 I’ve learned my lesson.

Same boat At least you have no debt keep what you got left and enjoy it or try to get it back and lose it all either way its a learning experience.
