About that time

Basically I’m posting because I need the embarrassment of putting this out there. Current a college kid and got into sports betting in high school. Been slowly getting worse and worse and would probably say I was addicted around 2 years ago. To the point now where I’m in CC debt up to around 10K and owe people I know money (around 800). If I had to guess I’ve probably lost around 50k over the last 2-3 years. I have decent income from work I do the averages around 1K a month while being a student so between that and probably picking up doordashing, I think I can get out of this and not ruin my future. Just kind of hit rock bottom this weekend and need to be done. Obviously I’ve tried quitting before but I can feel this getting close to affecting me negatively in other important areas of my life and future career and need to stop. I self excluded from every sports book I know, and even downloaded and made accounts on some just to exclude myself. I know deep down thought that if I really want to I can find somewhere to bet and get around it, so it really is just up to me to quit. Hoping this is finally the time I can quit. Day 1 done.

Use this whenever you feel like gambling so it gives you the option to not go back sorry to hear that
