    Hi everone. I need help stopping myself from spending money on. lotto tickets. I realized I spent about $206 on lotto tickets, and another 200 on gambling machines (Slots) and I’m not even sure how much on scratch cards. I feel so guilty and surprised to know this. I feel bad. Help me someone.

      Hi there. Is this something you have recently started doing?
      I started my spiral about six months ago. It seemed like such a little thing at first, and then I was blown away at what my accounts started to look like.
      From that point, it turned into trying to get my lost money back.
      The guilt is hi, and it has turned into lies. I hope you haven’t gotten to this point. But if you have you are not alone! I have found that keeping myself busy helps. Making plans ahead of time for days off seems to help. I’ve noticed I just can’t be left alone for too long. I can’t feel lonely, or I end up going back to distract myself. If I can help in anyway or if you need someone to talk to I’m here. ❤️
