Sueside is the last solution

Raz - don't give up on life just yet my friend. Tomorrow is always a fresh new day. Life can seem awful in the moment we gamble and lose, but there are people out here that care about you.

Google 'Samaritans' if you need someone to talk to immediately. They are non-judgemental and really helped me when I was in my darkest place.

Best wishes to you mate. Molehole

Gambling can be a serious addiction

No one in their right mind should take it lightly

The Samaritans helped me out in many a time of need

I needed to sort out my gambling addiction as well. It didn't go away.

Hi Raz, i fully understand where you are at, this is an awful addication, where I reckon the people on this site are the only people who fully understand how you are feeling, friends/family don't really get it - the why's the highs and then the losses as always. I reckon you should heed the previous two threads-i have come on here to help my mindset, i would if i could turn the switch off (soley due to gambling losses) but I am too weak or maybe to strong to attempt the way out. Maybe anger is a way forward for you/us all - i hate the fact the gambling industry has been thrust in our faces, without its promotion in many forms (bookies/casino/internet) many of us would not be on this site to-day and also very broke. I am very angry that this weak temptation was offered to me - i propose to channel this anger into a more purposeful life - is this for you ?

Thanks Guys !!

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.

Hi Raz,

I am so sorry to hear of your pain caused by gambling, but please please try and get some sleep tonight and come back on here tomorrow morning with a slightly clearer head.

Your life is so important to many many people who love you despite what mistakes you have made and will make. Everything on this planet can be worked out and fixed if we try, but suicide - Well there is no coming back from that. You will put things right, you are just going through the worst time right now, but honestly everything can find a way to work itself out.

You are clearly an intelligent man who earns an amazing wage for your family, so by putting the positives in your life on top and making them flourish you will be ok. You have just got to try... Try in every sense of the word, but please try getting those thoughts out of your head as there is a million better options than that.

People care mate,

Drew

You think suicide will make things better, it won't. Think of your kids growing up without you, the pain and suffering of not having that someone to come running to after a day at school or to play with at weekends, they won't care if it's on the streets or in a basic house, but they will care when they are asking their mum "where's Daddy". Also think of your wife. She would hate this, her world will be ruined as well as yours. Then your family, how would they feel when you couldn't turn to them in a time off need. Please think about all the people you will hurt by this selfless act, things can get better.

I seriously suggest getting some financial help to pay off the debt slowly, hell I'm paying mine off over 7 years so I can still live fairly comfortably, you can do this too. Also use this website as there is an abundance of support.

All the best.

Dan.
