Hi I need your guys’ help please. I’ve lost a significant amount of money playing blackjack. I can’t afford to lose more but it bothers me so much knowing that I can potentially “make it back”, it’s happened to my friend before. I want to stop but it consumes my mind, all I can think about is blackjack. How do I stop thinking about it and just cut my losses… I’m not even trying to win, I wish I never stepped foot into the casino and threw away all my money. How did u guys quit? Are you guys bothered by the fact that you’ve lost so much to the casino?
Thanks

The universe doesnt keep score of what you’ve lost, so there’s no way to “make it back”, any more than the guy next to you “making a ton”.
The longer you gamble, the closer you track to casino odds, so trying to get whole will only get you deeper in a hole.
Believe me when I say this to you. The odds of you losing much more money than making it all back is way smaller than you think. You’ve already saved a lot of money by cutting your loses.
I finally am out of that terrible brain rot thought process. You won’t win it back and even if you do you’ll just lose it again. Take the lost money as a life lesson and make some major changes. Tell yourself the lost money will be worth it for the better version it has made you. The darkness it causes you in the inside isn’t worth the money you lost or any money at all that you can maybe win back. I just wish I thought this way before losing the number I did.
How much have you lost bro? You can only recover well, you can’t have the same habits that got you into the mess to help you recover
I am bothered so much that I self excluded myself. I can’t enter a Caesar’s property in the entire US and 2 other casinos as well. Lifetime bans. It sucks too because one of them has a great restaurant that we all loved going to. I know myself. There’s no way I could stop without doing this.
Think about the pain of losing all your money. The pain is so bad right? U don’t want to experience that anymore so don’t gamble while remembering the pain in your mind.
Show of hands: How many people here won all their money back and then quit gambling?
This is literally the exact thought that causes many gambling addicts to go back to gambling more and losing more. Those losses cause more pain, more hurt, and more suffering. Quit for good man. It’s not too late to quit. Let go and let God (let go of the addiction and let God guide your steps), in Jesus’s Name 🙌
Torn between losing everything for the foreseeable future until i have nothing left to lose, or stopping now. Tough choices.
Chasing losses are going to create way more losses.
I watch this guy on YouTube whose line is “all wins are future losses” and I fully fully believe that.
From one addict to another…the house always wins. Get out now.
You’ll only lose more
Casino seems like a lot of work to me. I am more of a Hard Rock app guy. I prefer to yell at top of my lungs when I lose. Do that at a casino and you get kicked out. In all seriousness to answer your question how do you stop? Ask for help from friends and family / the embarrassment does not last. But the RELIEF does!!! Come clean / stay clean. Good luck brah
