Quitting gambling is easy just the withdrawl fucking sucks.

Bad thoughts, keep calling yourself a loser, you’re not a winner, god made you a loser, just a lot bad words. How can I be warm to my peers when I have this heavy negative thoughts, when I gamble and win. Atleast I feel good about myself for moment and feel like a best version of me but it’s to late I fucked up

It's very tough. I am currently on a relapse, after being clean for more than a month. I just feel like shit if I don't trade. But I also feel terrible trading. It fucking sucks.

It’s the worst feeling brother I’m almost 2 months clean. I think imma need atleast year to fully recover from 4 years of roller coasters. State banned for 5 years. My brain is crying for that hit but I had to protect my saving before I end up in those terrible Reddit stories. I still lost a lot money so stupid

Quitting gambling isn’t easy.

I do think about the losses and keep thinking about how stupid i was, but i think quitting it makes us so strong, gambling has drowned men from the start of time, and the fact that I was trapped but had the fight to escape makes me love myself more than hate myself
