Just recently started gambling and it became an objective to win big. Which, of course rarely ever happens. I recently bet over 1000 on one machine without winning a profit. And continued to go back all week trying to win it back.
It’s great that you have recognized a potential problem for you with your gambling. The “hope” of winning back losses pulls a gambler back to the action. A certain percentage of compulsive gamblers will have a heck of a time understanding that fact. It seems, to me, that you understand what is happening, that is part of the battle. I suggest that you come to the chat section and you will be able to get some answers. There is a resource/treatment list on this website that you can use. For more local to you resources, please check out any public health or counselling services in your province/state. Gamblers Anonymous also has a list of meetings. Again, depending on your location, you may have to check on their international meeting list. Thank you being here looking for information.
