Hi, thanks for such an honest and open account of your problems. I just wanted to mention that many of us on here are older and have different perspectives and experience. The money you lost seemed like a lot, but there is no limit to how much money someone can make and how much someone can lose. Consider this: how would you feel if you made £100 million and then gambled it away and later became £100 million in debt? These are the sorts of things that can happen when people don’t get control of destructive habits, and that’s when you get major banks and even countries collapsing. Stay strong and realise that our actions affect not just us, but everyone around us and also people we haven’t even met yet (perhaps someone very important that we would hate to lose, like a future partner or wife). I hope these comments are helpful. Keep up the good fight – the fight against the personal demons, not against the games 😉
