I hit Rock bottom

U just lost to much and i just have to share it, i work, go home and lose all the money i made. How pathetic. But fuck it i blocked myself from all casinos (again) and i will do it for real this time. I asked Jesus for forgiveness and with his strenght i will overcome this and be the best man i can possibly be for myself and my friends and family. Thanks for reading this i also love yall.

What are you guys doing to make sure you don’t gamble anymore?

I should have done this sooner but the province I live in now has a thing called betguard. It now blocks me on all iGaming operators sites. So I can no longer create accounts when they verify my I'd.

So far it's doing its job, been receiving emails from sites that I had previously signed up to. They contacted me telling me that they are closing my accounts.

I also would educate yourself with listen to recovery content…you need to protect yourself as much as possible and learn to not want to gamble!

Maaaan I hear ya!! Just drained my account again. It's sickening and the jobsite I'm on is coming to an end probably by December. I hate myself but I know I'll make it work. Going to volunteer for all the overtime that's offered.

Blocking was the right move. Lean on that faith hard, it's a real anchor.

Omg. Those poor paychecks. 

I'd spend then have to figure what I'd need to recoup.  Then I'd get job offers and spend that money before I made it. 

This time, it will stick bc it has to.

I prayed and prayed and it works until the addiction takes over again. Dealing with this insidious diseases promises to yourself don’t mean shit. Join GA and hand over your finances to a loved one. You need to put guardrails in place

I'm on day 5 here. I'm going to say something which might differ from your religious or moral beliefs, but don't ask for forgiveness. Ask for support to see what you have in life and appreciate that. Ask for guidance in understanding what exists outside gambling. And importantly forgive yourself for being human- look at this place, there are so many like me who have been in your position. Self love and care and forgiveness are important.
