I have been standing in your shoes many times. Let’s look at the positives. You are still very young and have a huge future ahead of you. The fact that you are recognizing a potential problem is huge. You are correct in recognizing that your future career earnings can be in jeopardy if you don’t control the urges. I made a six figure salary for 12 years, and have no savings. I have blown equity in my home, IRA savings and any “extra” money I could get my hands on over the years.
I stopped gambling a little over 3 months ago. I can’t say I have any extra money, but what I do have, I am very proud of, and I recognize that I can blow it all in a very short time if I am not in control of my situation. I never want to go down that path again (it only took me 30 years to realize it)Lol…
Good Luck, keep posting…join in on chat, it is nice to get to know some of the support that you will get on this site!
Hope the best for you,
Stay strong
