You lose all your savings, you go from having everything to having nothing, but beyond the financial aspect, how do you cope mentally? How will you work knowing you're overcoming a problem? How do you tell your family or friends if you want to? Do you seek professional help, or how do you deal with it?

How do you cope you don’t you sit there and you think of every last dollar that coulda spent on something else.. this is not knock you when you’re down..How do you work you go to work you work 40 hours and you CHOOSE not to blow it. Tell your family first friends last.. my friends never cared I was going through addiction they just cared I was a piece of shit friend and still don’t have those friends (once you get sober you prob won’t have the same friends) THATS SOMETHING THEY DONT TELL YOU.. Your family if they’re like really family they will listen they won’t laugh they won’t judge ask them to watch your money for you . I never seeked professional help they are just going to tell you exactly what I tell you (yes they might find your reason) but it don’t matter if you find it or not you will still gamble. You take it on the chin and move on. Imagine you have a really heavy kettle ball attached to your leg at all times this is what my phone felt like for years if I didn’t take it out of my pocket and to gamble.
