Hi all,

I’m not a gambler, having learned many years ago that I’m not lucky. I also place great value on having no debt, having some money in the bank and in general – no financial worries. I found this place because my son is getting into cryptocurrency at 15, and showing the classic signs of the dopamine highs and lows addicts go through.

At first I was laughing at some of these “I lost my shirt” stories, thinking how could they be so dumb? 3 pages into that first thread though, and my heart ached for the guy who gambled away a hard earned fortune. He would quit, relapse, sometimes re-coup all his losses (and then some), only to lose it all (and then some). This went on for like 27 pages, and by the end I was really rooting for this guy… I hope he beat his addiction. Permanently.

To everyone with a gambling problem: My heart really goes out to you. I can’t even imaging the regret/self-loathing not to mention damage to others around you. It sounds like a horrible addiction, and a LOT more powerful than I thought. Seems like almost everyone… can’t walk away from it. Whether they’re up, down or somewhere in the middle.

I sincerely hope you all can stop, and some of these states put an end (or at least better regulations) around getting a better handle on this problem. God be with all of you..
