Like to say hi to everyone and its sad I got to this point in my life where i can’t control this stupid addiction. Never been addicted to anything in my life besides gambling. I started at 21 when a coworker showed me how he bet on sports online and boom it just went downhill from there. I won like 30k from some website sports betting and never got paid and theres isnt anything you could do due to it being overseas.
From there i played roulette and would win hundreds and sometimes thousands and than go back and donate all my profit back and more. I have tried to get myself to go to a group and talk about my addiction but i am so embarrassed. This has effected my relationship with my amazing wife thats been by myside since day 1. Put her thru so much and hurt her so many times due to blowing thousands and not being home and leaving her at home with kids while im at casino blowing money. I dropped easy 100k in last 10 years and today I am done.
Always say im done but i want to provide for my kids and wife things I should have instead of always making her sad. Never really told her but seeing how sad she looks and seeing my kids faces kills me the most. She deserves so much more than I have given her and hope i can get a hold of this damn disease to take control of my life. I barely eat when gambling, effects my marriage, gained weight and stopped caring how i look.
My friendships have diminished cause of this damn addiction and came on her to talk about it and get help and help others that they are not alone. Stop chasing loses only gonna get bigger even if u win they got u again u gonna give it all back. Hope this helps someone in their fight and take it one day at a time.
