I know this is an old thread, but it’s got a lot of good advice. I personally lost over $250,000 gambling BUT gambling also cost me my home, career, family, and self-respect. I’m 40, broke, alone and scared. I’m just trying to survive each day, mornings are the worst when I wake up and have to face my reality. I’m also quitting alcohol, tobacco, and all other waste from my life. I’m trying to replace the excitement of gambling with the calmness of mindfulness. But I am scared. Addiction is terrible.
