Hello to everyone! I’m 20 years old and I’m living in Russia. So, I would like to tell my sad story. About 3.5 years ago I began to play in online poker (Some friends of mine recommended (name removed) – they gave me 50$ for free)… and I lost this 50$ for 2 days, then I decided to "invest" 1000$, oooh I won about 1500$ (then it was like I began to make huge profit and soon I would become the greatest poker player). You can guess that later I lost this money. My madness began: I spent 20% of my free money, next 30%… to 90% of my free money. I tried to stop myself, I took some breaks about 3 months and began again and again. I took money from my parents "for education" and spent this money on poker (I always was an excellent student, so if I asked for some additional courses they gave me money for them). I lied to everyone to my parents, friends, to my boyfriend – and they didn’t know about my addiction, because I can perfectly hidden my emotions. For 3.5 years I spent about 70000$ for online poker. Than about 1.5 ago I opened my own small company (I combine my studing at university and working for myself). And all money that I earned I spent on poker. 1 month ago 2 friends of mine decided to invest about 10000$ in my company for development. I thought that I can put about 1000$ on my poker account and earn something… I really could not stop… I lost all this money. I knew about my problem with poker but I thought that I could stop. My brain began to built plans about how to rescue myself and give back that loan. I tied from that addiction, I can’t tell anyone about my problem, because my relatives, my friends, my boyfriend thinking that I’m strong, that I can help them then they need help, that I can give an advise. I really want to give up from gambling addiction, I know I can, I have to use all my will to give it up and begin to live a full life, to finish my study, to develop my company and find a lot of interesting and new. Thank you for reading my post:)– 26/04/2012 08:03:25: post edited by janey.
