Just wanted to say Hi to everyone. I have been absent from the forum for a long time even forgot my password. This a new account I made.
I have history of anxiety and depression , and that was one of the reasons I got into problem gambling. I made very big losses at the end of 2016. And after few months I stopped gambling.
I lost around 2k total, from january till now, which felt bad but not really that bad as it was in 2016. My income is good and savings as well so its not a big deal. But I am here to share it, and to let you all know that it happens. Also to encourage you to not stop giving up even though you have relapsed.
I never had gambling with anything else beside poker. And I have accepted that I am not good, even if I am I will be at loss again. You can really never win. Even if I do win money I feel like its not mine and have to finish gambling it. Even though I have lost it before.
Gambling will crush your spirit. Its the only way you will know you have reached the bottom. And from there we grow. I grew a lot from my experience in 2016. Although I still feel shame because of some things I have done in that time lime lying, stealing, making excuses not having time for important things. But it is what it is.
I have changed a lot since 2016, since I stopped gambling,.
I have very good income, I am married, we have a child. Â
Stay ppstive, and good luck. Money is not everything in life, as long as we have our health we have everything and money will never be problem. Peace
