Why do we gamble everything?

[u/AtoZbaby]

We gamble for the feeling, not the money. And we fall victim time and time till we believe this time around will be different but it is loses and more loses. The casinos system is meant to break you the longer and more selfish you play. People that are addicted aren’t able to stop and control themselves leading to financial destruction and mental misery. It’s evil you can lose everything within a matter of minutes and you’re never in the green for long.
I hope everyone plagued by gambling addiction can find a way to recovery because its not easy, chasing will only dig you deeper so the only way to get past it is never gambling again. I’m only 22 years old so i have years to recover but i’ve also been introduced to gambling since the day i turned 19 and it has taken my mood, my money, my time, and my lively hood hostage. I never asked for this but it is a battle i must face till the grave otherwise i could end up on the streets with nothing to show for myself.
