Still feeling shit about my $5k loss.
Such an insane waste of money, and so may nice things I could of spent it on. I only hoping that this big loss finally stops me from ever gambling again

Losses don’t stop us from gambling. For us they make us gamble more as we start chasing trying to get our losses back and the snowball effect is catastrophic.
Reframe it in your brain. Consider that 5k loss as the cost of a surgery to make you never gamble again. That 5k removed the illness from you and now you won’t gamble again as long as you’re alive.
You will have a beautiful life, with a house, a family, vacations, nice things. You will have a good job with good pay and you will help others who are less fortunate.
This is all possible if you don’t gamble. Let $5000 be the cost of your new life. Real hell awaits and more 0’s can be added to that if you ever want to try again.
You got this my friend! One day at a time 🤞🏼❤️

Utilize the cool off method fanduel and draftkings offer. I wish i had done that 6 months ago.
This may sound crazy, but the destructive consequences of gambling is not always enough to drive problem gamblers to quit gambling.
Oh, it hurts, we feel it, but we get to a point where we just keep doubling down no matter what, and then stop only because we have tried absolutely everything we can to get more money and we just cant get any. Its hell.
We need to want a better life, and we need to acknowledge, even if only to ourselves, that only comes from completely quitting gambling and working at getting our lives back.
