I started gambling in 2020 (I was 24 at the time) on the stock market. I made a lot of money too quickly for my own good, and have spent the last 4-years losing it all. Trying to get it back has made things worse because it’s my own savings that I’ve lost now. Total losses exceed £100,000.
I managed to stop between Jan 26th - April 5th (this year) but a couple nights ago I relapsed and lost more than I’ve ever lost in a single night. Life at home is hard, my dad’s left my mum and the shock/upset of that has had me on edge for a while, which has likely clouded my judgment and led to me going back to gambling.
I see no future for myself if I keep doing this. I’m ambitious and have personal goals but I can’t strive for those if gambling is still a part of my life. I’ve been on medication to try to help but it backfired, so I feel a little lost with what to do. The site I’ve always used is a crypto casino and every attempt I’ve made to block my access, I’ve found a way around it without being able to stop myself from doing so.
I’d be really grateful for any words of encouragement or just a “hello”, thank you.
At 30 its probably time to face up to reality
stock market / casino / crypto - its all gambling and you are a gambling addict so therefore you cannot indulge in any of it
The whole thing is designed to bleed you dry .... pigs get slaughtered and 99% of retail traders are pigs
I pretty much wrapped the lifestyle up in my late 20's and life is much calmer without all that nonsense
