it hard mate gambling addiction very hard to beat without right measures in place it can be controlled but never beaten its a life long illness their no majic cure, first thing first u need to forget the past, what u have lost is now gone, make changes in your life it tough ive had numrous relapses over the years, i have finally realised am powerless over this addiction the temptation for what ever reason will always draw me back however with time and understanding myself better i can improve on myself find other hobbies interests work on yourselfÂ
It’s insane the amount of time and effort we put aside for gambling jus to end up losing everything in the end I have wagered 1,010,069.01 so far on 1 site since Aug 21 of 2021. I’m sorry to say I don’t think the nightmare does end. I will pray for you tho and I hope clarity comes your way my friend, Jason
@a5o43rbxyz the nightmare can stop it depends on if u want to its like any other addiction, first step u need to be honest with yourself step two is making changes, love for money is the most common trigger which we gambling does offer u from time to time however as a compulsive gamblier we go all in we lose all forms of control its like a game, the more u have they more u bet, until u dont change yourself the process will repeat, relapses are common very few people manage to fully quit on their first attempt u live and learn as long has u you are determined u can get out of this mess
