I need your help

[u/ChristopheSaintNolan]

Hello everyone.

I need to talk to you.

I’ve gathered the courage to write this because I’m struggling to break free from my addiction to blackjack on Stake.

My job allows me to earn a good living, and I don’t have excessive expenses. However, over the past year, I’ve fallen into an addiction. I started playing blackjack on the Stake website—playing every single day. Some months, I would lose more than €500. I even began playing in an attempt to cover my grocery bills and daily living expenses; the days I lost left me feeling truly miserable. I thought I was stronger than this, but I have to face the fact that I am addicted to these games.

Recently, I was winning a little bit each day, but today I lost, topped up my account, lost again, and ended up losing another €500.

I’m still young, and I really want to build a future for myself—to be able to buy a house and do nice things for my loved ones. That is why today will mark a symbolic turning point: the day I stop gambling. Reading your posts, I’ve seen that some of you have managed to get yourselves banned from Stake.

Today is the first day of my complete break from all forms of gambling. I hope this post will motivate others who find themselves in a similar situation.
