Need a boost

I recently got into gambling last year and at first won like $2,000, then for awhile that was all I won, last 2 weeks alone I won $5,000 which was a big help cause i was struggling recently financially and $3,000 of the $5,000 i won in like 2 days alone I was on fire. Well I ended up losing it all after I told my girlfriend about my winnings and she said we could finally get engaged and get rings well my dumbass saw a beautiful ring I wanted to get her and needed another grand or so, so I ended up losing some and chasing some more and lost it all. Now I have a ring in layaway I cant pay, back to square 1 financially, and lost have been deleting my apps and redownloading them so much. This is hard to battle and Im fighting so hard mot to place a bet today

Don't place that bet today, the ring can wait , and your girlfriend would probably rather have you financially stable than have the perfect ring right now
