After losing my entire check the weekend prior to the one that passed . I was so hurt and empty feeling that I did not make it in to work the following day . No call – No Show… I’ve had one prior due to my gambling and crash out moments in the past and have used all my uto. So today I was advised by my supervisor that I will be put on a 3 day no pay suspension next week and lose 10 merit Points from my end of the year bonus (around 4k) . Gambling is such a sick disease that it interferes with careers, family , goals , your mental everything . I’m afraid that if I lose this current job that I have no meaning of life anymore. It would be an unbearable fight moving forward .

You have to choose to not gamble even a single penny every single time you think about making a bet. You have to say no every single time or you’ll make the same mistakes again guaranteed. You can’t, for even a single moment, agree with the monkey part of your brain telling you to gamble. Not even once. Whatever you lost, forget about it and start thinking about what you have left to lose instead.
Since it takes literally one minute to call in sick, I think you are trying to self sabotage so you can wallow in your own misery. Please get help in any form possible, it’s a sign of strength to do so. There is no dignity in silent suffering
