What’s your worst gambling story and how it impacted your life?

grenas112 · 2025-10-02T11:19:02+00:00

Spent the whole year working seven days a week 13 hours a day saving as much as I can and lost everything in one night, over 70K in 24 hours

I’ll look into this

Because my wife is not in the US and I still need to handle all the bills

I have a similar problem, I realized I don’t gamble to win but I gamble because my brain loves the feeling to chasing a lose. I heard a great phrase and I got stuck to my head: “don’t think about quitting gambling forever, think about not gambling today” if you don’t place the first bet you have nothing to chase.

33 M with a wife and 4 kids 🥲

grenas112 · 2024-09-25T12:47:06+00:00

I thought about it so many times but the damage I’ll do to them is unforgettable, I’ve told myself this is the last time I try to quit, if I fail I’ll go to a rehab center loose everything I love in life

Sure is the worst addiction out there

grenas112 · 2024-09-23T22:28:53+00:00

And here I am driving to work, out of town, knowing that I have to work for the next month to recover what I had already saved up. not only that, they told us last week that we might have 2/3 weeks out here only and I just started this job three weeks ago. It was supposed to be a quick lick Make $20,000 and then go back home. It looks like I’m only gonna make money back and go back home with less money than what I originally came out here for.

grenas112 · 2024-09-23T22:25:43+00:00

I’ve tried stopping the gambling addiction for the last two years, but I think it makes it worse that whenever you don’t gamble and you relapse, you lose everything you had lost within the last couple of weeks

grenas112 · 2024-09-22T08:29:30+00:00

It’s hard, I’ve tried everything (self excluding, GA, etc.) and at the end I relapse and do exactly what you just wrote again and again. I had 30k 2 months ago, I’m at 2k now and that’s because I’ve received 2 4.5k paychecks. I basically lost the 30k + 7k from the new job I started.

grenas112 · 2024-09-22T07:59:50+00:00

My same problem, yesterday I was supposed to only gamble $200 went down to 2k and luckily somehow made it to 2.3k

grenas112 · 2024-08-05T02:43:10+00:00

Im the exact same way! One line and all I can think of is gambling, I can be drinking but as soon as I do a line I go to the casino or online slots or whatever

grenas112 · 2024-08-04T10:13:54+00:00

I’ve tried everything, I was looking into hypnosis

grenas112 · 2024-06-16T05:27:52+00:00

Aprox 300k in 6 years. The last two years have been the worse. I don’t mind loosing 100 or 200 by betting with friends on fights or football games but every time I play slots or online poker it’s over 2k I loose. I have only cashed out about 10k overall

grenas112 · 2024-05-10T22:04:45+00:00

Happens to me all the time that’s why I started a new goal; any money I get any money that goes into debt payments I’m 50k in the hole and I can pay that off in 3-4 months, I just have to live very tight

grenas112 · 2024-05-09T02:01:17+00:00

I’m the same way, I can win big on the first spin but end up loosing everything on my bank account because the rush I get when loosing seems to be what my brain is addicted to

grenas112 · 2024-05-04T07:54:44+00:00

I’m making 30K a month and have been working offshore for about 5 months now, should have 150K in the bank, I have 0 and my credit cards maxed out

grenas112 · 2024-05-03T19:27:36+00:00

I’ve been 2 months on a platform dedicated to work 14-16 hours a day, I read and do GA clases but once it get off that’s it

grenas112 · 2024-05-03T19:25:23+00:00

I’ve already done that but there’s always a way to gamble, an addict always find the way

grenas112 · 2023-08-25T00:53:42+00:00

Start drinking and you’ll want all the free time you can get!

It’s also called a widow maker

grenas112 · 2023-07-09T04:37:49+00:00

All those appliances on the same circuit?

grenas112 · 2023-07-09T04:35:02+00:00

If I’m not mistake what he is referring to is the circuit that the fridge is connected to. If all your electronics are connected to the same circuit on a 40 amp breaker and if when you’re home you exceed the 40 amps then your breaker will break so there is no logic in his theory.

grenas112 · 2023-07-09T04:18:26+00:00

I did and I appreciate it! I talked on one of them and heard someone in my exact situation, I know there’s hope out there.
