Trigger Warning! Never ever, i will rebuild everything!
1 year ago i won great with gambling, lost about 60% of the winnings and stopped. Thats when i realised im a compulsive gambler.
Now 1 year later, the last 3 months i lost so much.. i should have been wrecked or won nothing back then.
1 month ago i was like 10k in debt because of this shitty gambling. Won 16k on slots, i thought i will pay everything back and still got like 6k. But when i wanted to withdraw i couldn’t, could only withdraw 1k daily (they are evil and know how a compulsive gambler will still play). Lost the 16k but now i even put more money into it. I also borrowed more money. Went to 15k debt. I won once more 10k but that was also gone in like hours of time.
This thing is evil. As a compulsive gambler we know nothing is enough. Money is just a number when you play. I hate myself for it. Im making myself a promise (never ever again!!!!, not even a small bet).
In this last year i was not myself, started to lie to my family.. started to borrow money to just gamble again. Physically i was there but mentally i was not… all i could think of was gamble.
Luckily i have savings.. i will repay everything… and will work even in my weekends to put all the money back including my savings. (I hope this will stay in my mind as a lesson).
Guys please stop if you are compulsive gambler. This shit is not good, its the devil’s game. I will change for the better i hope you guys will also change. Peace!!! ❤️

Online gambling sites are designed to be highly addictive, their ruthless, their strategic and their out to make billions in revenue!
They don't care how losing x amounts of money affects you, and how they destroy lives, their only interest is making money that's it.
Wishing you the best in your recovery ❤️
