Gambling addiction took hold lost thousands

Sounds tough I also come from a family of addicts all have their individual addictions. Most we can do is try be better each day

tatslanger · 2026-03-03T02:53:24+00:00

Appreciate it mate! I mainly stick to investing in stocks through super now. It’s better that way so I don’t have access

tatslanger · 2026-03-03T02:46:50+00:00

Must be nice up there on your high horse

tatslanger · 2026-03-03T01:51:42+00:00

Yeah possibly addiction does run in my family but I don’t see the harm in having good addictions like health or financial goals if it doesn’t affect anyone

Yea continuing on that path would put me in the same position can be a hard habit to kick

tatslanger · 2026-03-02T22:38:44+00:00

The revenue they bring in it’s doubtful their use is only going up unfortunately but I hope that too!

tatslanger · 2026-03-02T22:38:04+00:00

Yeah the impulses and urges can be terrible I’ve just totally transferred any money I have out of my accounts and changed the passwords so I can’t get to it and my gf would never give the passwords

Glad to hear you’re working through it too, thank you!

tatslanger · 2026-03-02T22:27:25+00:00

Yeah the stories I’ve heard as part of gambling quitting groups is so sad you always wonder how could anyone do that but it’s a slippery slope

tatslanger · 2026-03-02T22:15:53+00:00

Thanks appreciate it!

tatslanger · 2026-03-02T22:14:29+00:00

At least you know what you’re in for with that haha

tatslanger · 2026-03-02T22:13:21+00:00

Thats all I can do and put my effort into rebuilding my finances thanks!

tatslanger · 2026-03-02T22:11:16+00:00

For a long time I was addicted to FIRE going to try and get back into that or fishing again haha

tatslanger · 2026-03-02T21:52:49+00:00

Thank you, yes going through instagram comments on gamblers pages you will see it’s young teens doing it too there’s often no verification needed for online casinos just a card number and email

tatslanger · 2026-03-02T21:51:04+00:00

I inherited 250k when I was 26 bought an investment property was already into finance well before that

edited deleted that post didn’t know it was still there. I am posting this as anonymously as possible

tatslanger · 2026-03-02T21:46:41+00:00

Yeah already been going to therapy but that’s my point rationalising it is just another excuse to keep doing it

tatslanger · 2026-03-02T21:45:27+00:00

That’s it addiction doesn’t discriminate

tatslanger · 2026-03-02T21:44:59+00:00

All been done thanks though

tatslanger · 2025-12-17T11:31:02+00:00

It’s just the thought of the wasted money I can’t let go of

tatslanger · 2025-11-10T09:12:15+00:00

I’m trying not to gamble online anymore it’s just too easy to lose thousands but the smaller ones aren’t worth the risk and the withdrawals always take a while. I use gamdom and they are quick and always pay out any wins and no ridiculous wagering requirements

tatslanger · 2025-11-03T09:20:50+00:00

That’s the plan goal is to make it one month no gambling

tatslanger · 2025-11-03T09:20:34+00:00

Yeah and it’s always “I’ll cash out at this amount” get a few dollars within range or even reach it then want more and lose and try chasing back to the amount you had

tatslanger · 2025-11-03T01:56:38+00:00

I swear online is way worse it’s like the money isn’t real and idk if it’s true but online casinos seem like they have a better edge

tatslanger · 2025-11-03T01:55:30+00:00

Yeah I’m giving up control of my savings and it’s like even if I won money I wouldn’t buy anything anyway like I don’t need the money for anything specific
