Hey Peter,

I to have thought of all the things I could have bought with the money Ive gambled. I think of these things especially after I lose all my money. Even though its cliched I have to say though THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THE PAST. The money is lost. The pain has happened. there is no recouping the losses. Whenever I lose I think to my self “Maybe I can go back and win what I lost back”. Always a bad idea. Since the past is set in stone all we can focus on is making ourselves better people for our future. The past is finished by our story isnt. Ypu can change how your story goes. You got this man.

Hey man,

ive only been on this sight a few days and it is already helping tremendously. I hope things get better for you. At my local casino there are quite a bit of old timers 30+ years older than me that say the same stuff. No offense at all, but it really makes an impact on me because it reminds me how young I still am and how precious time is.

I really hope things get better for you. We are all on this website because were fighting the same demons. You got this man, you can do it.

thank you

Thank you man, I will def. consider the things you’ve said in this post. when you said ” The brain is extremely powerful, but very primitive still (especially the reward system)” towards the end it really helped put things into a psychological perspective. Much needed man thank you

Thank you man the kind words are really helpful. Ruining my future income is one of my biggest fears. Even though blowing $1,500 as a college kid is outrageous, in the grand scheme of things its not that much money. And what scares me is if Im willing to blow that right now in college, whos to say I wouldnt blow 5, 10 thousand plus when I have a high paying career and constant income. I cant let it get to that point.

thanks though man. The kind words mean alot.

thank you for the kind words it is really helpful. I have tried asking for a self ban before, but eventually I went back and they had no problem letting me. I will get thru this though.
