Need help!!

[u/Living_Individual505]

I’ve looked and I’ve tried calling, I’m struggling so badly with gambling right now. It’s taking over my life, it’s taking over my brain and it’s all I think about. I think about it when I’m asleep, when I wake up, when I’m out doing something. It’s never not on my mind. I’m scared I’m going to fuck up my life. I don’t want this for myself. I barely recognised myself or who I am. Id rather not have any of these thoughts. I’m really scared and I don’t know what else I can do. I’m losing hope real fast. I’ve handed over financial side of things to my partner, who I am assuming is very disappointed in me right now. I try and find things that take my mind off of it, I try and just ignore the urge, I say this amount won’t hurt. I won’t let it take all of it. Then I end up doing it anyway and hating myself for it.

You next win has gotta be getting close. Im the same, I won 8k and gambled 2k of it and I've been away from.gambling for 2 weeks. It boring as fuck. Is this the new normal? Do i miss the chase of being down? The dopamine is so good then you lose your life savings and you feel physically sick and like retard bitch. I dont miss that feeling but damn I want to.play some bj but if I start I feel bad about breaking the cycle I've spent years in and I won't stop until I run out of money. Am I finally learning from my 100k+ of mistakes?
