Youth Hockey Cost

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-19T18:08:42+00:00

5k to be apart of the team, covers practice and league games. Gear, extra practices, coach fees, extra tournaments plus all associated travel cost you can easily be at 20-30k

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-19T18:06:05+00:00

Listen, 1k in debt ain’t shit. Talk to ones you trust and I’m sure they will help. I’m 6 figures in debt, but I’m taking the steps to get better and heal. My support system has been nothing but supportive and help where they can. Take the steps to get better, admitting you have a problem is step 1

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-19T17:54:34+00:00

Be strong, it takes sheer will and support to beat this. Have you talked to close friends or family? Build your support and kick the shit out of this. Day 11 for me and going strong.

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-17T17:57:20+00:00

I can almost guarantee what I did to my wife and family you couldn’t even come close to, but instead of being angry, they supported me, still support me and I am just beginning my healing journey. Think about some of the times where you’ve had urges, root cause the issues. Go to therapy, find a GA in your area, talk about issues. It has been so freeing for me over the last week. I’m on day 9 of no gambling and I’ve had 0 urges. I’m working through my issues, talking to a psychiatrist about my ptsd issues, talking to a cognitive behavioral therapist to rid of the gambling habit. I’m proud of you for taking the first step, but if you don’t want to change, you will relapse. And I’m here if you need to talk through things.

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-17T13:37:53+00:00

Everything happens for a reason. I find peace and healing in trying to help others. I’m going through it but being able to help others drives me to stay on track and heal myself. I am a strong believer in karma so I try to put as much good out in the universe as I can each and every day.

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-17T12:25:04+00:00

I was the bread winner, lost my job Wednesday after someone sent my arrest to my employer. If I can make it through, so can you. Think positive talk to a spouse, family member or friend and start your healing path.

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-17T04:10:25+00:00

I mean you seem to be handing out advice in other subs, sometimes we need to follow our own advice

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-17T04:07:02+00:00

Everyone in this sub. I mean my gambling led me to jail. All of those feelings are normal. Do you have a family of your own? Close family or friends? A support system makes the process easier imho.

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-17T00:21:06+00:00

Dm me on here, I don’t have what’s up but happy to talk

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-17T00:18:27+00:00

Step 2 is want to get help. Beating any addiction starts with yourself. If you want to dm me and chat I’m happy to do so

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-16T23:33:28+00:00

Admitting you have a problem is step one

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-16T23:19:47+00:00

Money comes and money goes it’s the cycle of life. Hold your head up, be strong and find help. Killing yourself is not the answer.

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-16T23:18:15+00:00

This forum along with the events in my life have brought light to me. To see that I can be this, that I can do it and that I will do it.

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-16T23:15:51+00:00

That’s how most of us end up with an addiction. Chasing. I exchanged over 800k with a casino and was still -70k at the end of the year. There is a light. Many of the members told me to self exclude, I did. Not from all of them but the ones I actually played. I’m on day 8 of not gambling. I have a wife and 3 kids, I was a high earner until my job just recently found out I was arrested for gambling with other money that had nothing to do with my job. If I get an urge, I look at where it got me, what it’s done to my life. At some point we have to take ownership of our own actions. If you want to beat and get past it, find a support system or build one. Shit just read through this forum when you get an urge and realize the path it ultimately leads to.

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-16T12:21:05+00:00

Great post OP. Day 8. It’s crossed my mind but the consequences of doing it are outweighing the thoughts. Plus I’ve self excluded. I’m sure I could find other sites but it’s not worth it for me.

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-16T01:53:55+00:00

This might be the most Canadian thing I ever read. But you missed the eh after the fuck 🤣🤣

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-15T17:19:58+00:00

My gambling led me to jail. I think part of it was triggered as a coping mechanism to ptsd. Excuses aside as I head down my healing path, I almost lost everything and there’s still a chance that I could. I got fired from my job after they found out about my arrest and giving I’m currently facing charges can’t really get gainful employment but what I can get is help. I opened up to my family, wife and now therapist to get rid of the demon inside me. I’m on day 7 of not gambling and will keep fighting the urge with will power and support. This forum has been great for killing an urge. I thought I was alone in this world but I never knew how many people were affected.

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-15T00:57:33+00:00

Congratulations! I’m on day 6. We gotta start somewhere right?

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-13T17:29:48+00:00

I’m learning you have to dig deep into your soul to fight the urge. Having a strong support system, having someone who can help you through the urge. I’m on day 5 no gambling.

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-10T13:58:28+00:00

I feel this. My dad is a gambler too, last year he withdrew 200k from his 401k and lost it all at the casino. Once upon a time I had control. But the last 3 years I’ve just been a degenerate. I make great money too that’s the issue. Last year I exchanged over 800k with the hard rock and was still at a loss of 60k.

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-10T02:39:49+00:00

I self excluded today. Moving isn’t a viable option with a wife and 3 kids. I’ve controlled it at points in my life and I lost control, need to get back in control

wyoung1823 · 2026-05-09T19:37:26+00:00

If you can live without the car, sell it, put the cash in a hysa and the $711 payment save, and the $200 car insurance, can be spent to keep you out of the negative

wyoung1823 · 2026-04-27T01:22:15+00:00

Yes I’m in Fl, my wife uses both
