I did my first betting when I was 13 for a small amount. Up to the age of 15, it was pretty infrequent, innocent and harmless betting. I wasn’t trying to hide it and lie about it, and often with a friend. When I started high school, aged 15, I had my first real job in a grocery store. I didn’t earn a lot, but I was there for about 6 months and I spent everything on an online betting/casino. I have since then and up until Monday last week wasted a majority of the money I have ever come to by sports betting and online casino, whilst living a wasteful life filled with deceit, lies, isolation, and unhappiness. It has left me with a lot of regret and shame, which prevents me from fully recovering. I’m psychologically damaged in so many different ways, and probably also in ways that I’m not even aware of. These are the things I must strive to fix through consistent and focused personal development, which will enable me to develop good and constructive routines and habits, which will help me and prevent me from letting my addictive personality to take hold of my life and steer it down the black hole from which I try to escape.

I will not focus on the lows of my gambling story and tell it in details. You, the readers, are most likely gambling addicts yourself, so you already know all the shitty situations I have been in because you have experienced them yourself.

What I do want to focus on is making amends for my mistakes, taking responsibility for my life, correcting my character flaws, and striving for a better life.
