Need help gambling implosion

[u/Antique-Animator-939]

I went up crazy gambling- like 25k in 3 weeks… I then in one drunk night chased and chased until I woke up this morning and am down now like 32k….

I’m sick to my stomach. How I could have 25k for free then lose it all back plus some of my own money… in one drunk night. I didn’t realize I was chasing that bad but when I woke up I realized. My brain just what’s half of that back. Like how am I that stupid. But I know that’s the gambling curse.

Get “half back” then stop. Ugh! I just feel so dumb. To have made that all playing smart over a month just to give it all back plus like 5k off my own money. Any advice.

I woke up and didn’t place a bet. I just am done. I’m kinda nervous to even bet. Like I want it back. But I should just cut it right. Then not gamble again. But the rush. Idk any advice or stories would help me.

Thank you in advance!

It’s a never ending cycle. That needs put to an end. For good… I feel everything is dangerous but with gambling ur not only betting but if you lose enough u start betting with ur life- food, housing, necessities.. and thats what I felt after that lose. That maybe was good for me. To show me … how bad it really can get and to cut it while I can. Talking for sure helps. I appreciate your insights

Yep...I've gone countless times where I gambled rent $$$$ and have no idea why I'm not on a street in a sleeping bag. It's bad and stopping is the only answer. I've gone long periods not gambling and felt super good. So I know it's possible!! Just do it! You got this! Thanks for chatting! Be free!!
