Hi thank you so much for sharing your story. What you said about losing making you want stop eventually really made sense to me. The same happened for me. I lost 20k within 20-30 mins and that hurt me so much.
Like you, I haven’t hit rock bottom, but know that I am capable of getting myself and my family there. I say my family because that’s exactly it. My actions, namely gambling, will adversely impact them. If I gamble they will suffer the consequences and that is not fair. That is not right. My gambling was selfish, greedy and it was my need for instant gratification that led me to those great losses.
I sometimes wish I could rewind time to the very first bet I made and undo that. I don’t care about the money I ‘ won’ . That was never mine and actually wouldn’t have changed anything in my life. I was comfortable enough. That money didn’t make me any happier and the gambling and loss of my honest earnings led to my sadness.
Thanks for sharing your experience and Well Done for stopping before it got worse.
Always remember your mums words. What a supportive and loving mother you have. I hope her love, care and good advice stay with you for life
Keep away from the misery that is gambling.
Well done and keep positive and strong
