    Im a 400 lb fat degen gambling sac of absolute nothing. Some days i want to drive my truck into a tree. I dont believe in god. And i dont know what else to do. I lie and cheat my family about gambling. I should be dead or homeless at best. I am so lost.

      • Mozzie55 great post! I was reading that the brain of an addict is much like someone addicted to drugs.

        • Hi KC and thanks for your comment, ‘man’ is very self destructive, if not we would not damage our bodies with alcohol, poison ourselves with drugs, mess up our lungs and heart with cigarettes or lose every penny that we worked hard for at the casino. We are far from perfect but recognising those faults and understanding more about why we do these…[Read more]

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