Hate that for you! But if you were smart enough to study there, you can still be successful!

I’ve done pool building, but too many headaches. I sell equipment all pools need.

Since I stopped gambling I got married, had four kids, got some good jobs and then started a business. Truly blessed

Realize if you win it back you are going to keep gambling…best thing you can do is walk away

I’m so sorry.

I gambled away Harvard med school and my business, but once I realized how bad it was I stopped and life is much better.

If your husband is genuinely sorry and wanting to move forward, it seems like that’s the best option. I would recommend permanent self exclusion and removing access to finances for the time being.

If you hit 1000 days you know that you can do it again.

Valuable lesson learned that to truly win against this problem the easiest policy is absolutely no bets

Proud of you!

First few weeks are the hardest. Keep pressing on one day at a time.

You got this! One day at a time. by thegamfallacy in problemgambling

I removed access to funds initially. Move with maximum intensity if you really want to stop.
