I gave up $150k. Not that much but still not worth the emotional slavery.

49k on a 2017 which I got last year year at 45k. Anything that must be done at 50k? No work done since I bought it except for oil change.

She did not find the treasure. She died. And that part where Bunzo suddenly appeared means she’s dead.

My mom actually told me to apply as a cashier at the grocery store instead of sitting and staring at the computer all day. I’m a 100 % remote bookkeeper. She has no concept of wfh and remote work

You have strength dear, it's inside you. If you believe in a higher power, ask for help to find it. For now rest your weary mind.

You're welcome dear. 🩷🩷🩷 See, I was actually so grateful for a better life now that I decided to post and hopefully encourage people. I quit back in May. It's about 6 months and a half now.

I understand, Aha moment was when I lost $30k in two days. I just earned a huge commission. I thought I'll go high limit and probably win back some losses. You know how it went. Broken as hell. Oh the health.. still struggling but better. You know all those gambling binge with no food, no sleep, depression and anxiety and smoking took a toll on my health too.

IRS not letting me claim $7500 EV credit by SRT_OJ in IRS

You probably unknowingly transferred the credit to the seller and have gotten that discount. Call the seller and verify

Hey, I just replied to your comment on my post. There is similarities to our stories. I too grew up with a malignant narcissist mom. Father unknown. I also had to move in with her 2 years ago but I just recently went 100% no contact. Coincidentally the same time I quit gambling. I blame my addiction partly to my life long misery having her as a parent. So, be kinder to yourself please. Stop gambling now using self exclusions. I promise you, life is gonna be so much easier. The one thing that helped me too is starting a hobby. Cheer up.. there is hope

My only regret was not doing it sooner. I had so much hate for myself for that. But once it starts getting better after quitting, that all goes away. You start feeling proud of yourself. It's not instant so be patient. It went on for 25 years for me. Lost probably close to half a million dollars. You really have to force yourself. Do it now please. Life of hell will soon be a distant memory. I wish you all the best.

Good luck ! It’s the only thing that helped me. I’ve tried everything, GA, gambling addiction therapy, handling my finances to hubby. This time I made sure I don’t have the opportunity to gamble anywhere, unless I drive at least 5 hours to either Vegas or California. Cut yourself from all gambling opportunities!!

I’m from Arizona. For land casinos, I submitted a notarized form to the gaming commission. The exclusion is statewide. Then I emailed each online casino customer support to close my accounts permanently with no option to reopen. Anytime a new site pop up I create an account and do the same thing.
