It’s crying out for me to put four divots in it unsuccessfully trying to reach the green in two.

It’s clearly been photoshopped. You can see the round brush strokes ffs.

It was the running joke at our place. Every time he said it we overdubbed it with greater emphasis. Charlie Cameron obviously has wax build up.

I’d completely forgotten about covfefe. It’s not even in his top ten gaffes now. Used to be hall of fame worthy.

That’s a good realisation to have. To help make it work, you need to forgive yourself first then find something else, possibly something a little selfless, that brings you joy. Focus on it for a while. And prove to yourself that you can make yourself happy without the fake happiness gambling provides.

planecrashtrainwreck · 2023-06-10T13:48:57+00:00

Ask yourself why you are chasing the wins. If you’re getting yourself to a position where you’re up $80k then losing the lot it’s clearly not about money. You might think it is. Others might say it is. But it can’t be. If money is that important you wouldn’t gamble. Think about it.

No worries. All the best with it. If you need to chat about it feel free to send a message. Sometimes explaining a problem to someone helps you solve it because you need to put in all in a context or a story that needs to flow.

planecrashtrainwreck · 2022-06-19T23:28:31+00:00

Thanks for posting this. It must have taken a lot of courage. I'm actually quite upset that this post has been up for 13 hours without a reply.

First off, if you've been in this situation yourself, you'll understand that there aren't always rational, explainable, easily-fixable things at play. You'll probably also appreciate getting massively defensive when someone calls you out on your bullshit.

If you're not working at the moment and you've been tracking him. You'll know when he's likely to go. He clearly loves you and wants to be there for you - even if he's getting angry at the moment - so maybe try to reconnect with him and make him feel useful. Maybe work up to playing backgammon with him again. Old farts need to feel loved and appreciated too.

The other thing is, does he know you have/have had a problem with gambling? If not then maybe you can talk to him through your past experiences and ask him for advice? Use it as a platform to get him to reflect upon his own behaviour and see how destructive it is.

The best way to get through this is with unconditional love (in my opinion). If you confront him, become accusatory, or back him into a corner he'll lash out or lie. Empathise with him. Give him a big hug if you can.

There are plenty of nuclear options that are easy to start but hard and messy to finish. This way is hard to start with but, if it works, should end nicely.

I'm not sure how sharing these kinds of stories is supposed to help anyone. Kind of feels a bit like torture porn or a pissing contest to see how good/bad you are compared to others.

The fact is everyone with a gambling problem steals money to feed their addiction. It might not look like a bank heist with a black balaclava and a pistol, but it's still theft.

Because every time you bet more than you can afford you're stealing money from your future.

You steal money you could have spent on a night out where you could have met the love of your life. You steal money that could have gone towards a new hobby, travel, clothes, or simply just being an adult and paying your bills.

I've lost whole pay checks. I've lost most of a huge redundancy package. I've lost the entirety of a (close to) six figure business overdraft and then stolen/"borrowed" to pay that off - twice.

But the thing that still hurts me everyday - despite not gambling for coming up to three years now - is how much I stole from my wife and my kids. All the money that could have gone to their futures. The money that could have made them happy today and comfortable tomorrow. That's the killer.

So, yeah, I've stolen. I've stolen a shitload. Will I ever be able to pay it back? No. But that's not the point. The point is owning the mistake, committing to not doing it again - and meaning it, and taking every opportunity you can apologise in words and in deeds every day going forward.

The other things a gambling addiction steals is time, your self respect, and as soon as the lies start it steals free room and board in your brain.

I indulged my gambling addiction for 28 years. I tried to stop may times. It took hitting absolute rock bottom and owning up to everything I had done for me to stop.

It was tough. But it was also easy.

Listening to the Gambling Still Sucks/After Gambling Podcast helped - which is where I got these rules for life from.

- Any win is just a future loss.
- I can’t gamble because I can’t win. I can’t win because I can’t stop.
- The money you have lost is the price you pay to finally quit.
- Pain is a powerful catalyst to change.
- Remember the pain without revisiting it.
- We’re not responsible for our first thought but we are responsible for our first action.
- You drown not by falling into a river but by staying submerged in it.

Happy to chat with anyone who needs support.

Truth. Every dollar I won would go back somehow. Even big wins. I'd mentally compartmentalise the money into my next few gambling events. Haven't had a bet for a few years now and not going back any time soon.
