    I lost everything 2 years ago and built myself up anew. Recently I got sucked into gambling again and held a large position in the XRP cryptocurrency. It was sued by the SEC and my investment has lost 60% of its value.

    I cant take another loss like this. I need help, I havent slept in 2 days and I have nobody

    • 60% is a lot but it is not all. Get out of cyrpto currency , it is gambling.

      I have lost every dime to my name and am struggling big time right now. I hope you get past this and feel better

    • Hi Chris, I can relate. What is helping me is working the 12 step program. I was in denial of my gambling problem for over two years. I thought I could control it. Now I realize I am a recovering compulsive gambler. I am powerless over gambling and my life has become unmanageable. There is a good course at http://www.gamblerhealing.com that is working for me. Will power alone won’t work, but if you come to believe that a Power greater than yourself can restore you to a normal way of thinking and living and make a decision to turn your will and your life over to the care of this Power of your own understanding. you will begin recovery. You can stop with the help of a higher power. For me, I talk to God daily, meditate, and most importantly recognize I am a recovering compulsive gambler. You can turn this around with your higher power’s help. Think of the addiction as a “monster” and stop feeding it. Things get better in time. Someone mentioned in Chat last night that when he stopped gambling he got everything he ever wanted and more. You can do this!

    • I get many calls from Bitcoin, cryptocurrency etc. and I ask the person the same question every time, if this is such a good way to make money why are you sitting on a phone in a call centre working? The phone usually goes dead at that point.
