Hi guys,

I am new to this site but not at all new to know that I am a compulsive gambler. Like all gamblers we only ever seek help when the chips are on empty and we’ve hit rock bottom. That is the case for me right now. I have fucked up many times over the last 6 years of being a compulsive gambler but this time it is worse than ever before.

I have been travelling and working on business for about 6 months now and have been responsible for somewhere near $30,000. Of all that money I have slowly but surely lost it all on the tables in vegas or on sports betting. I feel sick to my stomach and this sort of money will take a long time to pay off and the biggest part is that it is not mine. I just really don’t know what to do and have no idea how i can clean my mess up without ruining my reputation and having people not be able to trust me at all in the future. I just don’t know what to do. This is rock bottom and it’s impossible for me to know where to go from this.

The person who’s money this is is very wealthy so I know it’s not going to change his life if i tell him the truth but I am very concerned that I will be in a very bad position if I tell him what has happened.

Any suggestions??

I also want to add, since this is anonymous, I have genital herpes along with this and the stress and everything has caused it to go bad.. can anyone relate to this at all? I honestly feel so alone and that I can’t share anything with anyone

I can relate.

I have eczema and it’s getting pretty bad due to the stress I’ve brought upon myself from gambling. I don’t need a doctor to tell me that stress and health are related, I can see it with my own eyes.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’m with you, brother, you’re not alone, even though that is contrary to how you feel. I feel totally alone too.

Sorry to hear man but thanks for sharing. I also have eczema and it’s the same too. My body, mind and soul are disappearing along with any money I have a hold of.. where to go from here.. I feel anxious and stressed all the time

[danchaser]

On a positive note, we can literally see what gambling stress (and stress in general) does to us.

It also shows me that I have other issues that help drive me to gamble. It’s both mental and physical. There’s something in my psyche that I need to fix. If can do this, than I will be physically better off too.

Gee…what’s the downside? Too much money in my pocket?
