It’s hard for me to even put this into words but gambling has been my escape from my reality. I have made a lot of mistakes in the last seven years throw away amazing opportunities and now I have nothing I am nothing gambling allows me to escape it all but I’m destroying and losing all of my relationships the majority of my friends want nothing to do with me because the constant begging to borrow money from them and lying about what it’s for me legit making up a sob story to get sympathy and in return money. But everyone has realized I’m full of shit. I have stolen so much money from my parents it’s unfathomable but even seeing all the pain knowing what that does to my parents I continue to do it time and time again. Truthfully chat I feel broken inside. I don’t know what happened to me I don’t understand how everything went so wrong. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to escape this desire to always want to bet. It’s taking over my mind and life
I can relate. I’ve thrown in away SOOOO much money it’s very sickening and I just keep doing it. I get machines up pretty high and instead of cashing out and taking the money I continue to play until it’s gone. That’s money I could have made a couple car payments or paid my rent…but NO…now I struggle financially. I’ve lost my children…they’re adults w children of their own and I can’t see my grandchildren. This is SOOO sick. I am sooo sick
