Reading your post reminds me of how big the magnitude this addiction can become. I used to get so upset losing 100,500,1000$ gambling. My latest binge I lost about 17k in 48 hours, putting me in debt, 10k was off a line of credit. 6k was savings, 1000 was cash advance off a credit card. I’ve been gambling for 10 years on and off. And trust me, I was once where you are right now, consider yourself LUCKY . That you lost WINNINGS. If you keep gambling , 1000$ will feel like losing 100$, then losing 10k will feel like losing 1k. There is no bottom to this addiction. I never thought I would put myself in this position. It can get worse, way worse, and when toy thin I you’ve hit the bottom, you can get to more of a bottom. And I beg you to not let it get there. I wish I can turn back to where you are right now. I’m 29, I’m slowing paying off my gambling debts , I used to always have lots of money saved up. I chased a 3k loss that turned into 17k in 48 hour period. please ban yourself from all casinos, online, however you gamble, this will ruin your life, your relationships, your happiness. It will strip you of your well being. I’m sure you can hear the pain. Through this post, I think about the losses daily, please quit while you are at this point, I don’t want you to feel this feeling and have to experience how evil this is…. try gambling anonymous, therapy, try anything and everything before it’s too late, before you start using the banks money to gambleC before your life is over.. I wish you the best, it’s never too late to quit.. I hope you do this for yourself. God bless
