H Kalpesh, I’m sorry to hear of your recent experience. Some people say that when we gamble without being able to stop it is an illness. Some say it is an addiction. Either way it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you try and find some support to help you stop. It just keeps getting bigger and worse. No matter how terrible you feel now, you will feel even worse if you convince yourself to go back and you lose even more. Even if by some miracle you win a little, we fool ourselves into thinking we don’t really have a problem and you will likely go back and lose it all and more. I have been there many times. The only way I could win at gambling was to not gamble at all. Because I couldn’t stay away and would gamble back any wins. Right now you are very upset about the money. It is likely driving you a little crazy and you keep reliving things over. I’ve read someone give the advice to think of it as a tragic event that has happened. Like a car accident or big medical bill. Sometimes bad things happen. People must accept the loss and move on. But I would do what you can to prevent gambling in the future. I’m not sure what country you are from. In the UK people are able to sign up for an online service to ban from the online casinos. Do you have an option like that? Save your self from making the same mistake again. You still have your life and hopefully the employment to earn more money. We can’t believe it once it’s all gone. If you need to talk to someone the chat line here is a big help. Daytime hours – UK. Take care,
Laura
