Hi guys,
it’s me again. I used to be around this sub a lot.
I can finally say this: gambling addiction no longer eats my soul.
I realized the only real way to stop gambling is love.
Find someone you truly care about, and do everything for them.
I gambled a lot.
I wasted my youth.
Then I saw my mom cry. I saw her working extra jobs every night. That’s when something broke, and something else finally woke up.
I became the man I wanted to be.
I worked three full-time jobs. I almost paid off my family’s debt.
But life isn’t fair.
Just when you start seeing the light, the darkness comes back harder.
Life gave me a “bonus gift” called cancer.
Now I know I won’t live that long.
So I want to tell everyone here, every single soul reading this:
Please stop gambling. Spend time with your family. Do what you love. You never know how many spins life has left for you.
Money is never the final destination. Happiness is.
Please tell your mom you love her. Every day.
Wake up, soldiers.
Gambling is just a temporary escape for temporary happiness.

im looking at my mom now and I cannot help but tearing up. This addiction is eating me alive. I hate that none of this came up during my gambling, borrowing money and making such stupid decisions back then. I am so sick and tired of this.

Im so sorry to hear that man truly and you a great person for posting here about it to get others to stop and for stepping up for your mother you are a wonderful person
You worked **three** full time jobs?
A week has 168 hours
3 x 40 = 120 hours
Let’s assume prep time + travel both ways is 30 minutes per job per day = 10 hours.
Barebones hygiene, chores, groceries and food 7 hours
Assuming you actually lived like an absolute robot and only spent your time eating, sleeping and working that leaves 4,5 hours of sleep per day, all days without any day to sleep in
Another way to put it is you only have 48 hours to do everything besides work
Why the fuck you lying
