hi all, i’ve been a gambler since i was 18(i’m 22) and i recently had a big win and i feel on top of the world only i don’t because i lost money in the past week and my mind is spiralling. i don’t feel on top of it and i don’t feel i have any control at all. i feel gutted i lost what i did and i know it’s all poor me ect but i really want help. i need to realise i will only lose more and more.Â
You are young, and have your whole life ahead of you, but it sounds like it needs to be a gamble free one.
Unfortunately anyone with a problem will never ever be able to control it, never be able to play for fun or set limits, the brain has already been messed with, its now wired a little bit wrong forever. If you can hold onto this feeling you will get through this, use your lows as your strength, every time you want to gamble give your self 30 seconds, just 30 seconds to log on here and re read this post. Hold on to the feeling of loss and hold on to the loss, let it always be a loss. Its in the past you cant change it but you could make it worse and I promise you the only hit you will get if you get stuck in a compulsive gambling rut is rock bottom.
Youv'e got this, take your loss and walk away with pride, own your future
