Quick introduction. I am a 26 year old guy with gambling addiction. I lost a lot during this year and told it to my girlfriend. Ofcourse, she got mad at me.
Luckily, I have this kind and understanding girlfriend that still supported me. I promised her that I will stop gambling already.
Fast forward after 2 weeks, I am gambling free. But when a business travel came upon me, I was alone here in Bangkok for 28 days and decided to gamble a small amount.
I thought that it would not hurt since it is just a small amount. After 1 week, I already lost around 600USD and it is a big amount here in the Philippines.

I am sick to my stomach. I betrayed my girlfriend and myself. I really need to stop this evil addiction. I ask the online gambling site to exclude me.
I also left all the gambling groups that I have in facebook. Hopefully this will be the start of something new. I dont want to lose my family and my girlfriend because of my addiction 🙁

Glad to have you here. If I could give you any advise, it would be to write down all those reasons you want to quit and keep them on you at all times (maybe in wallet). When you get the urge to gamble take that list out and read them. Stay close to this site as well. We can’t just “try” to quit gambling, we must take control of our addiction. I’ve come to realize this over the years, the more you put into something the more you will get out: so the more we put into our quits, the more time/effort/etc the more likely we will be to be free of gambling.
Stay strong and reach out as often as possible. You can do this, we are here to help!
