    Everyone please listen this disease is not a simple fix. I have lost many people to addiction throughout my life. Gambling is the worst. If you comprehend that and are young enough to understand by being here you are destroying everything and everyone around you by constantly being in your addiction. I’m 54 so yes I am telling you how it can go my life has been shit since I started gambling at 16. Something that might wake you up is gambling has the highest suicide rates of any addiction. I won’t detail why but you can look it up. In addition to screwing our loved ones over we check out. Please stop and get counseling at the least. GA ands smart recovery help to. Please don’t give up

      I have been told by counselors that most people don’t make it this many years as a compulsive gambler. I understand and have lost many people who I cared about throughout my life because of this addiction. I tried to get help 36 years ago. It wasn’t available. If you love anyone it is available now. Fight for it. Fight for them because in the end if you don’t fight hard enough gambling will kill you. ☹️
