I’m a 30 year old guy and here’s my story.

I grew up in a moderate family in Asia. I’ve got a good education from a reknown university and high paying job right now (roughly earning 9,000 -12,000 a month). I started knowing how to gamble when i was 14 years old because my dad is a gambler. he use to gamble on football matches, horce racings, etc. and he do that so often at home and there’s where i learn how to gamble on sports (only football).

what didn’t help is my love for football has placed me in a very vulnerable state where if i dont gamble on a football match, i dont enjoy watching it even my fav team is playing. started to really gamble with my savings of few hundred bucks during my uni days (when i was 19-21 years old) and i’ve lost $7,000 in a single weekend and i had no money to pay the bookie. told my mom, she cried and i’ve learnt from there on. i’ve not gamble since then and it lasted for a good 5-6 years until 3 years back (when i was 28 years old), earning decent money and lost quite a bit. this occurs like an annual affair where i would lost 10,000

I think your post must have slipped through the cracks, I’m sorry you have had no replies.
You have had a large amount of gamble free time under your belt. What did you do before?
Seems like its time to put some barriers up.
Someone to be accountable to, to monitor your spending?
Banning from online gambling
Attending GA perhaps?
Writing and posting here, there are groups too.
You can do this.
Not easy, but worth it.
