Gambling.. God i wish i had a better adiction this is the worst i swear. Everytime i have money i just need more i can’t stop. Money seems to lose value, it’s never enough. A couple months ago i had saved nearly 600 euros to buy something nice for myself guess what, throw it away gambling, now i had put together 200 just to build some wallet guess what today i lost it. I’m 18 studying (or atleast trying) and nothing seems to go right. When i get money for me it’s never a good amount, i think of all the things i want and all the money i need. Surely im depressed and just want to vanish.. Will have a friends dinner next week and the money i had to go its gone with my stupid addiction. Is there hope for me in this world?

Hi Goldenluck, well done on looking for help.

Read the other threads here. You will see a lot of stories similar to your own. You will also see the success stories – what are they doing that you can apply to your own situation?

To answer your question; YES, there is hope for you. What barriers can you put in place? Who cold look after your money for you when you have it?

What support can you use? You are a student so i expect your college/university will have some sort of counselling/mentoring service. Gamblers Anonymous is another good place to go.

Keep posting here. You can stop gambling but it is important that you start putting some barriers in place and use the support that you have available.
