      Hi everyone, it is my first time posting on this. Just to share some story of myself on how I began to feel tired of gambling. Quitted once because I lost a huge amount of money.
      Started recently and I won and lost a couple of times and really getting really tired of it when I won another 500 the day before and another 300 today before
      losing 1000 at night. Overall, I still win 5.8k but it’s that feeling of “i could have won this amount only if…”

      Welcome

      Well, don’t do as I did yesterday…Thought about stopping many times but didn’t. Don’t know what you play but I went from 16000 euro to 30 in an hour.

      I lost 500…thought “i could have won more”, lost 3000 thought “i could have won more”, lost 8000 thought “i could have won more”, lost it all.

      The feeling of “i could have won this amount” will only be many times worse when you lose your 5.8k..Please withdraw your money and enjoy them.

      Oh dear. I am sorry to hear this and thanks for sharing. I guess at the end of the day, we should be contend and in fact not touch gambling be it whether we are winning or not because we always wanna win more till we lose it all

      Quit stop rest up the gambling is common phrases persons keep using to keep their mind at bay away from going back but by saying those words does it really help you to actually stop entirely.
      Think about it
      My simple life hack that i used up to today i am still using it the words we say to our selves daily is powerful so tap into that power by saying ” I AM GOING START LIVING MY BEST LIFE NOW”

      some food for thought.
      Stay Positive

      It’s okay now but I want to establish the fact that I and many many others who did the same are real people. It did happen and it will happen to you if you continue. Maybe it happens today, in a month or in a year but you will regret you didn’t listen.

      You know, when I won I read and respected similar stories but didn’t think it could happen to me but it can and will happen to everyone who doesn’t stop in time.
