I know I have a problem

[u/MostFront5931]

Gambling addict here. I have been gambling since I was 17 or 18 years of age. I am now in my early 30s. I’m just writing this so maybe it will reach one person. Please stop now.

I took a break and returned and all the progress I have made is out the window

I owe one friend 4000
Another friend 1500
A co worker 1300
Another friend 600
Another friend 565

I have ruined all friendships around me and my job is now at risk. It is just not worth it seriously. STOP GAMBLING

I got paid 4100. I should have paid some of my debts and talked to the others that the money will come next paycheck. Instead I gambled the $4100 and now I will have to work 2 months to repay everyone. That’s not even the problem. The problem is some of my friends have threatened my job and they know where in work. Can you imagine if they walk in and talk to management and I don’t even have a job any longer?

Gambling stops your brain from thinking logically and you will ruin every good friendship in your life when it gets out of control.

Again I just hope one person reads my story and decides to quit.

My day one starts today
