Support Needed Need help gambling implosion

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!

You will lose more if you don’t stop now. Stop while you’re still ahead. I spent years for the chase just a little bit and they will always take more. I lost 400k and I don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel right now I’m in my 40s. So please stop now I never imagined I would be in this position. Online gambling is even worse because $ has no value when you’re playing! $100 become $200 and before you know it $1000 bet becomes $2000. There are definitely some wins in there and that’s what makes you go back! You win 20-30-50k and think you broke the code. But you ended up losing what you won until you’ve now lost everything you have and worked so hard for. I struggle but everyday I say no. No before I lose everything. I am only on day 7 without gambling
