    Oh my Lisa, I feel you and exact same situation. It’s probably worst then trying to quit a high abusive drug addiction

    • Oh it is! And soooo much mire expensive. Id spend $150-300 a day on crack. I lost $12000 of material money for a job in 4 hours. Like holy shit! How do our brains still say “this thousand dollars is gonna get the last one back!” So many times? And how do we still believe it? Its really scary to think and believe youre in control and realize you…[Read more]

    I’m sorry to hear you have felt you hit bottom. But sometimes you gotta hit bottom. I think it’s the only way I think to finally sit and think about the excitement but at what cost we all here have lost. Family, friends, relationships, love, self respect. It’s like you’re who moral compass has no further meaning. It’s crazy

    Only Claire, thanks for sharing such personal losses. I lost $250,000 last year. This has been going on for 10+ years and I can’t stop I’m in so much debt. I make decent money as well. If I didn’t have this addiction I could be put into my savings $16,000 a month bi-weekly $8,000+. This is just crazy and such a hard addiction to overcome. I feel…[Read more]

    • Hi. I am also in 250K+ gambling debt deep. I came out to my husband few weeks ago. I played so much online casino games that everytime I think about it, I feel so disgusted. I am trying to find a therapist locally to figure out why I was doing what I was doing. I feel so defeated most of the times asking myself why did I even do that. I was…[Read more]

    Yeah, I’ve always obsessed over something and run with it all the way either its high-end shoes, clothes, hats, some other addictions. I think cutting that out made me more of an OCD addict for sports action. I bet not even knowing anything about the game as I’m trying to play catch up and just 10x my losses for the day. Sucks

    • Sounds like we have very similar stories. I’ve been a gambling addiction for over 3 years. I bet on anything g but mostly soccer because of how often the games are and how fast the games finish. Ruined my family’s finances, lost my wife’s trust. I don’t think she even wants to be with me anymore but we are stuck in bankruptcy. I’m working o…[Read more]

    Hi Ashley, I just became a member today. You’re the first post I read and I know exactly how you feel and almost experienced the same consequences but I don’t know which way out more in your eyes. Losing over $250,000 in one year and still going? I don’t know losing a marriage would probably out weigh the $250k in loses. I have an excessive OCD c…[Read more]

    My gambling problem addiction experiences and possible reasons and how OCD effects my daily and night schedule sports betting on soccer all night long

    • I was thinking i have OCD as well and it could be linked to my gambling addiction.
