It's good to know that we are here to help each other's, we also understand the pain of each other which is really giving me a bit of ease.
My story is perhaps unique or may be like many other victims of gambling I don't know but to be honest I am broke in every aspect of my life at present, financially, mentally, morally, family, respect and now it is likely that something going to happened to me which never happened to my ancestors.
I earn 4,000 a month after tax but I am in debts in access of 100k due to my casino's addiction... People who I used to lend money in their tough times don't respect me as I am keep asking them to lend money to me like a bagger !!! Soon I will be out of work mortgage is not been paid since more than 4 months my whole family will be out on the streets including my 2 under 5 year kids.... I am destroyed and I have destroyed their life too... To be very honest there are more things that I wanted to share but I can't share ... My life is end guys.... All I wanna say to all of you who are working hard to recover from this killing habit that if you are not exposed to casino's please please please never go there at once otherwise you will also be destroyed like my self.... GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
If you don't hear from me in future assume I am no longer available in this gambling world.
I want to be dead on the same day I was born 23rd July !!! To reverse the mistakes my parents have done to give me a birth :((((

hi please dont do something sillly, you have 2 very young children that need you they dont need money or materialisic things just the love from you and that is free, make today your birthday the 1st day to stop this awful addiction that has took hold of you, me like many on here are all in that place rock botton , not knowing where to turn and as i am only on day 4 i know im in no way fit to advise, but by coming on this website has really helped me already in so many ways every time i get a thougth of gambling i come straight on here instead read some stories add to some post untill the urges pass which they do do, you have already took the 1st step which is to come on here so take just one day at a time and think of your children, they need you xxx
Hi Raz
I sincerely hope you haven't done anything stupid cos you have the most precious thing in the world - your kids. Too many people who gamble overlook their family as being a reason to stop or a reason to carry on living. You might think that by taking your life - if that's what you were talking about - will make things easier for your kids, but you couldn't be more wrong. As under 5 year olds they probably don't understand whats going on and will not understand why you have gone.
What you need to do is start facing up to your problem like a man. Seek support from Debt helplines and debt management companies. Self exclude yourself from every casino/gambling institution there is and start believing that you can turn this around.
Your not a bad person, just a person who has fallen prey to an evil/horrible addiction which grips you and takes over your life.
I've been there and probably p*s*$d away 60k. But I am still here (120 days gamble free) and fighting the addiction.
Remember money is money and in my opinion means nothing compared with the love of your family. I know that sounds cliched but it's true.
So instead of spending time gambling or feeling sorry for yourself, spend time working out a way to sort the problem as that will make your family proud.
Good luck
Craig
Raz,
Your post made my blood boil. This addiction takes it all...but as hard as it can seem at the time the way you looking at is only permanent solution to a temporary problem..very selfish act too. You are worth more than that, and your family has to come in line with you here. I hope you are safe and fighting this habit with strength you hav..and you have a lot of that even if you don't see it now.
A post and update would be something many of us are waiting for.
Stay safe and be kind to YOU
