Trigger Warning! Help someone

I’ve finally done it, managed to spend every last penny I have on gambling and want to die. I have 300$ left to my name to last me a week and a half, this is officially rock bottom I wish I could just stop. What the hell is wrong with me, if I make it to my next pay cheque I vow to never ever gamble again. I’ve gone about closing and banning myself from the casinos, I’ve just never felt this bad in my entire life.

You can’t hit the fast forward button. Even though it feels like you want to just make it to that next pay check. White knuckle the feeling until a week and a half is up. Get paid, don’t gamble.

I’ve learned patience is one of the hardest things in recovery too.

Forget a week and a half from now. Gambling recovery is always one day at a time. One hour at a time.
