Some people gamble bc they wana hit big and invest or buy a house or buy a car , i don’t have any of those desires bc tbh everything I want in my life I have it already so even when I win at casino I just spend money on stupid things bc realistically I don’t need that money to pay my bills or for everything else in that matter because I own my paid off condo roughly 1.8 million , 3 paid off cars , 2020 Jeep Cherokee SRT , 2016 BMW M5, 2020 Mercedes Benz GTR..!
I don’t know why I am still gambling and ruining my life I never understand at this point I just wana end it and die bc this addiction has completely destroyed my physical, emotional and financial life …!
I just don’t know where to go from here I’m completely broke and just don’t know how to restart and tbh I’m really really tired of starting it over and over again ..!
Please someone guide me and help me someone clean and educated and someone who have completely stopped and charged there life .. I would be very thankful ..! I am drowning and I need a lifeline ..!

Just stop now! Otherwise that $100k will be $0 and they you’ll have 1 car then it’s the house.
Best thing to do it just stop and ban yourself
I had a boss say once to me when I was in the thick of my gambling he simply said to me I don’t appreciate money…don’t appreciate how hard it is to earn for many people. Took me years after to relise…what he actually.l meant…i thought whatever dickhead you got a big house wife kids etc money….i got fuck all bascially…….but yes, I didn’t perhaps you havent either….you will eventually maybe now you will see it and actually appreciate it. I could only dream of the figures you are discussing. God tests us all different I suppose.

I would recommend for you to go to therapy and get help. If you don’t have mental health, you won’t have the capacity of enjoying achievements in life, like the ones you have. Get help and figure out what’s going on inside you. The gambling is a symptom of a problem.
You’re still gambling because you’re addicted. Gambling addiction isn’t about the money, that’s just fuel for more gambling. But you are going to lose everything and end up in debt if you don’t stop soon
It’s the disease bro. It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor. It doesn’t care who you are. I have 31 days clean today. First time in my last 20 years of gambling. I make ends meet and live paycheck to paycheck. Lucky enough to have a few hundo after the bills are paid. I lost the value of money. This may sound against the grain but you’re not gonna stop until you are ready. Ready meaning as when you finally hit rock bottom and you tap out because it’s killed you financially, emotionally and spiritually. So my advice. Keep gambling until you are ready to quit, because that’s what it takes and then you will be ready to fully surrender to gambling…bottom line.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2008/sep/14/gambling read the link am sure this guy didnt do it for monatery gains either👍
You’re not broke with those assets. You could sell the condo for 1.8 million , sell two of your three cars , plus the 100k you have left and you would have easily 2 million in cash. PLUS you make 250k per year. Rent a cheap house or apartment for a few years and put that 2 million to work and you could be worth tens of millions in a decade. You are in a position 99% of us on here would die for.
gambling turns off some switch in my brain, i don’t wanna feel numb to the loses but it’s starting to feel that way
in december i hit around 1k with online slots 3 days in a row
i’ve been justifying every reply with “this is as much as i deposited that one time” but the deposits have been easier to do
So get your act together, my friend, because what you have could disappear in less than a year.
Boredom is why you still gamble.
Give me 10k and I will help u keep 8k in case u ever lose it all , the 2k is for me to spend and cure my own addiction
