Read through your journal today and a lot of your experiences are very similar to my own. Cheers for posting on mine.
I’m in my mid thirties, used to gamble occasionally on games of football and started to gamble in a harmful way in Sep last year. I was £25000 up. Now at the stage where I’ve lost that, another £25000 in savings and now have around £20,000 debt on credit cards loans. I would go through a cycle of being up and then losing and chasing my losses. I haven’t gambled for a week, but this is more down to not having funds more than anything else. I definitely experienced the money not being ‘real’. It’s def real when you are paying off credit cards though!
Just wanted to say all the best.
