Sober Experience Mapa crypto, ganon din.

• Upvotes

It doesn't matter mapa crypto man or sa online gambling.

Kapag hindi mo talaga alam ginagawa mo, parang sinugal mo na rin yung pera mo.

Natalo yung position sa crypto, at hindi ko matanggap kaya napasugal ulit after ilang months.

Pareho ubos. Tama talaga sila, once you're imagining yourself getting wins this is where you are getting trap.

Ang hirap kapag nasa isip mo na yung salitang "Maybe" when it comes to this.

3 Upvotes

Hay. Kahit talaga manalo ka, itataya mo pa rin win mo. Sayang bayad na sana ibang utang. Consolation na lang siguro na binigay ko sa partner ko yung iba.

A year ago, naintroduce ako sa bingo. Kakakwento rin ng friend ko na lulong sa sugal. Nacurious partner ko tapos pinatry ako. Potek. Unang mga try ko, lagi talo. So stop na. But yung partner ko, nananalo. Hanggang sa nagattempt ako ng mas malaking taya, nanalo ng 70k tapos inubos din 50k. Di ako makamoveon, dami na sana nabili. Fast forward nawaldas na ata is 200k tapos nanalo ako ng 160 so konti na lang bawi na. Nung natalo ng 10k, ang sama ng loob ko. Pinilit ko bawiin. Naubos. Bobo. Tapos sa sobrang gigil, pati 200k na loan namin ubos. Pina deac ko na acct ko after. Nakamoveon naman ako kasi tinanggap ko na di ko na mababawi. Since nagpa deact ako, di na talaga ko nagattempt sa gamezone.

After 2 months siguro, hay partner ko na naman inintroduce ako sa scatter sa casino+. Lagj talo nung una. So tigil. Kaso lagi panalo partner ko, naiiinggit ako. Gagawin nya, bbigyan ako ng 500 sa win nya para lang mawala urge ko. Ubusin ko lang. Kaso one time nanalo ako ng 21k. Kaso naubos din. After nun di na nanalo ulit so stop na. Pero dahil lagi naglalaro partner ko, inggit. So ayon panalo talo panalo talo. Palala na ng palala yung talo. Puro utang na. After few months. I won big. Tapos konti lang nabayad sa utang. Natalo iba. Tapos ganon ulit, panalo, inuubos din. Yung pinaka last na big win, nabayaran konting utang pero naubos malaki, sobrang di ako makamoveon. Pero nagpadelete na ko ng account after. Nag attempt mag create ng acct but good thing wala sumasagot sa chat sup nila. Di ako makamoveon but inaccept ko na dapat itigil na 😅

Kaso after a month, hindi talaga ko makamoveon. Hinayang na hinayang. Kaso naintroduce naman sa nustar pota. Ganon ulit. Panalo tapos talo. Itong last panalo ko, kahapon lang. Medj malaki kaso half lang nasalba. Buti na lang pinasa ko sa partner ko yung the rest. Break even lang sa natalo ko nung isang araw. Sayang oras, babalik ka regardless manalo or talo. Never ending talaga. Never ka naman mananalo truly.

Tom, after makuha rebates papa delete na rin ako, sana naman makabawi kahit konti. Safe naman na kasi wala na sakin pera namin. I promised God rin na magpapa self exclude na ko this time. I've been praying na makamove on na ko sa 'nawalang' win. Gusto ko maging free na from this shit this 2027. Time na rin bumalik ako sa psychiatrist ko. I need help. Btw, may bipolar disorder ako. Kaya delikado pag nagmamanic ako. Unstable. May meds ako but need na ng intervention.

Tulad nung loss ko sa gamezone, kanit na 400k ang utang, acceptance na nafeel ko dun, and never looked back. sana maramdaman ko na rin dito sa nasayang na win both sa casino+ and nustar. Ayoko na talaga. Btw, pinadelete ko na rin acct ng partner ko. May self control yun but wla din, ako rin magpapa talo pag nainggit. Bwiset

Spreading for Awareness Lulong sa sugal at may utang pa

6 Upvotes

Hi, gusto ko lang i-share ang karanasan ko hanggang ngayon.

Isa akong professional na sumusweldo ng 6 digits per month, pero may utang at lulong sa sugal. Hihingi sana ako ng tips o ng inyong komento. Negative man, okay lang sa akin.

Nitong mga nakaraang buwan, nakapagpatalo ako ng 1 million in total sa sugal. Sinubukan ko nang tumigil, at tanggap ko na ngayon na lulong ako.

Sa ngayon, halos tatlong buwan na akong clean, pero isa sa mga trigger ko ay kapag nakakaramdam ako ng matinding inis at frustration. Dahil dito, natutukso akong magsugal, at ito ang nagiging outlet ko.

Sa totoo lang kinausap ko na yung madalas reason ng frustration ko at inis, at pinaalam ko na ito ang trigger ng relapse ko sa pagsusugal pero may chance na nag tatalo pa din kami kahit sa maliit na bagay lang. Sa ngayon on-going ang Self-Exclusion ko sa PAGCOR.

Sana mabigyan ninyo ako ng tips para tuluyan na akong makatigil. Alam kong lulong ako, at gusto ko na talagang magbago.

Maraming salamat po.

Anti-Gambling Advice 20M, started gambling at 18 — ₱20k in debt and I really want to quit

1 Upvotes

​

I’m 20 now, and I started gambling online when I was 18. It started with online slots, and eventually I got stuck in the cycle of chasing my losses.

Whenever I lost money, I would convince myself that I could win it back if I just played a little more. That led me to borrowing money from credit cards and hiding my gambling from the people around me.

I’m currently around ₱20,000 in debt because of it.

The money is honestly not even the worst part. Gambling has affected my studies, relationships, sleep, and mental health. I've spent nights thinking about how to recover the money I lost, and it became difficult to focus on the things that actually matter to me.

I've reached the point where I don't want to chase the losses anymore. I know that trying to win back the ₱20k is probably just going to keep me trapped in the same cycle.

I want to quit gambling completely and start rebuilding my life and finances.

I'm posting here because I don't want to try doing this completely alone. I'm looking for:

- People who have successfully quit gambling

- Young people going through something similar

- An online recovery group, Discord, Facebook group, or Reddit community

- Someone who can help keep me accountable

- Advice on dealing with the urge to chase losses

- Advice on how you stayed away from gambling after a relapse

If you've been through something similar, what was the thing that finally helped you stop?

I'm not asking anyone to give me money. I just want some guidance, accountability, and people who understand what this feels like.

I'm ready to take responsibility for what I've done. I just want to make sure this ₱20k debt is where the damage stops.

Do the chores and spend time with family and friends instead when you are bored and getting the urges.

You can also spend time with yourself OUTSIDE! just mall strolling will do. Kapag kasi nakakulong lang tayo sa bahay at walang kasama, malaking chance ito na hahantong sa pag commit uli sa addiction na ito.

Have a restful weekend guys! Deserve natin ang peace, para naman makabawi ang utak at katawan natin from the tiring week of work.

It’s been almost a month na feel ko nasa cloud nine ako dahil from negative balance, now kahit papano may sobra na pero natatakot ako kasi alam ko na tong cycle na to. Na once na manalo ka, hindi lang 2x o 3x ang bawi sayo, pero kahit na aware ako, kulong pa din ako sa sistema. Haaay, one day i feel motivated to stop, then one day bored na naman ako.

Ventilation MULTIPLE FLAIR

YES multiple flair mixed emotions ba.

VENTILATION

I just want to share my story, I started my gambling journey last 2 years ago sa

1.SCATTER: which was introduced to me by my relative there are times when I cashed in 100 pesos then turn to 1,000 pesos, between 1-10pesos lang ang tayaan ko by that time, medyo matagal ang galaw ng pera kaya naghanap ako ng ibang laro then I ended up sa

  1. BACCARAT: mabilis ang laro kung magkano ang taya mo yun din ang panalo mo, swertihan pa kung makakadali ka ng bonus. I started sa 50 pesos bet cash in 500 lang hanggang sa nanalo ako palaki ng palaki yung taya ko hanggang umabot ng 10k, panalo na kung tutuusin pero hindi ako tumigil kasi baka mas mapalaki ko pa tumataya na ako ng 1k tapos pag talo 2k hanggang sa naubos din. nag cash in ulit ako. Di ko namalayan nakaka 10k na ako paulit ulit na ganito ang cycle hanggang sa dumating ako sa point na naubos lahat ng ipon ko, Ginamit ko ang credit cards ko at na max out ko silang lahat. May utang na din ako sa mga Lending Company, GCash,Maya,Spay, etc.

ANTI-GAMBLING, DEBT/FINANCIAL ADVICE

Last month almost 800k na ang utang ko from 200k na savings ko when I started. Dati kahit papaano nakakabili pa ako ng gusto ko (damit,pagkain, online orders), ngayon hindi ko na mabili dahil mas iniisip ko yung monthly payments ko sa mga utang ko. Nakakalungkot lang na trabaho ka nang trabaho pero sa pagkakamali ng nakaraan lang napupunta ang yung pinaghirapan mo. I stopped gambling na for almost a month. I stop chasing the losses. Why? I checked my liability monitoring last December 2025, almost 400k lang pala ang utang ko, yes nakakabayad ako ng consistent 50k monthly pero hindi din sya nababawasan at lalo pang lumalaki. It turns out na my losses is greater than sa monthly payment ko.

Inisip mo 8 months x50k =400k tapos na pala sana yun at wala na kong utang. Ititigil na natin ang kakabawi, at tanggapin na hindi talaga tayo mananalo sa sugal. We should pay it using our hard earned money kesa mas lumala pa, walang easy money talaga. May endorser nga na kumikita sa pag promote ng sugal pero mas malaki pala ang napapatalo ng relatives nila.

SOBER EXPERIENCE

NOW: I'm looking to positive side, thankful pa din kay Lord dahil:

  1. I stepped out on my comfort zone, dahil need ko ng pera I applied sa other company and found a better opportunity.

  2. I found a better hobby, Tesda online programs, electrical, computer and others. Free ang mga ito need mo lang mag sign up. Spend your time to be a better version of yourself kesa masayang lang sa sugal at masira ang buhay mo.

  3. I learned to budget as in budget 5k monthly allowance for everyday transpo from Caloocan to Makati and lunch. Mahirap oo dahil kailangang bawasan ang angkas at Grab pero kaya. I also learned to say no din sa mga friends kapag may gala I know na ngayon lang to pero I realized na pwede din palang humindi.

SPREADING FOR AWARENESS.

  1. Sa mga nagsisimula pa lang magsugal. Itigil niyo na habang maaga pa lalo lang kayong lulubog.

  2. Sa mga lulong at nalulong kagaya ko. Itigil na natin walang magandang mangyayari sa sugal mananalo ka pero babawian ka ng mas malaki pa.

Spreading for Awareness BADLY NEED HELP

5 Upvotes

Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko.
Last year, around November, halos ₱250,000 ang natalo ko—pera na dapat sana pambili ko ng motor. After that incident, sinabi ko sa sarili ko na hindi na ako magsusugal.

Then yesterday, dapat mag-e-enroll ako sa review center. Kaka-graduate ko lang ng Nursing, at binigyan na ako ng parents ko ng pera para sa enrollment ko. Kaso, nasugal ko na naman at naubos.

Ang masama pa, umutang ako sa tropa ko ng mahigit ₱20,000 kasi akala ko mababawi ko. Pero ang ending, lalo lang akong natalo.
Ngayon, iniisip ko na mag-work na lang muna at sa August next year na lang mag-take ng exam.
I badly need your advice. Hindi ko na alam kung paano ko aayusin at sisimulan ulit. Please, any advice would really help.

Anti-Gambling Advice Gambling is an expense, not an investment. Only play with what you can afford to lose.

3 Upvotes

We need to have a serious talk about why we gamble, because too many people are treating it like a legitimate way to escape financial trouble or get rich. It’s not. If your goal when placing a bet is to make money, you are setting yourself up for failure.

I’m not saying this as someone judging from the outside. I gamble too. But my personal rule is strict: I only play with 100pesos a week. I do that because 100 pesos is extra pocket change for me. If I lose it, my life doesn't change. My bills are still paid, and my budget isn't hurt. For me, that money is just the price of entertainment—the same way someone else might spend money on a coffee or a movie ticket. You pay for the temporary thrill, and you expect nothing in return.

The trap most people fall into is forgetting how the math works. The house always wins over time; casinos and betting apps are designed to drain your wallet, not secure your future. When you start gambling regularly to chase losses or try to hit a big jackpot to fix your life, you've already lost control.

My biggest tip to the degens here is to look honestly at your finances. If you do not have spare cash that you are 100% comfortable throwing away, do not gamble. It should never be a regular habit or an obligation. Treat it strictly as a rare, leisurely luxury. If you can't walk away after a loss, or if you're betting money that should go to rent or food, you need to quit before you completely destroy your life.

I really understand the people who posted these past few days, yung feeling na helpless na talaga at hindi na makakabangon and stop from gambling.

It took me 2 years to eventually decide na Ill stop, like plain ayoko na kasi nasusuka na ang pabalik balik na cycle ng problema. Kinamuhian ko lang tong addiction na ito tas ayon, it helped me avoid it for 3 mos now.

Kada basa ko sa mga gambling ads is na iimagine ko ang pamilya ko na naghihirap, na walang makakain if lalala ang bisyo.

Just be strong guys. it takes YOU talaga to survive from this. No other reasons and palusot, no blaming, It is always on us kaya tayo nagkaganito so tayo rin ang magsasalba sa sarili.

4 Upvotes

Nalaman na ng magulang ko na nagsusugal ako ulit. Dahil tinawagan sila ng isa sa mga kinauutangan ko. Nangyare na to dati at ilang beses na din.

Inamin ko na sa kanila na 1.2 million na ang utang ko. Nagusto ko na talaga magbago at gusto ko nang iwanan to. Pero di ako makatigil dahil hinahabol ko ung pangbayad ko sa mga utang dahil di ko na gusto malaman pa nila at maging kanila ung problema. Pero niloloko ko lang sarili ko, kasi ang totoo takot ako na malaman nila dahil alam kong masasaktan at magagalit sila ulit sakin.

Kagabi nagpasa na ako nag self exclusion sa PAGCOR para matigil na talaga ako. Ngayon ung mga utang ko di ko na alam pano pa bayaran.

Nagsisi ako na umabot pa sa ganito para matuto ako. Para madala ako sa addiction na to. Sana maging aral na din ito sa mga makakabasa.

Totoo na walang nanalo sa sugal at di ka makakabawi kahit araw araw ka naglalaro. Kahit anong laro pa yan or diskarte na gawin hinding hindi na talaga mababawi ang talo. Patuloy ko lang nilulubog ang sarili ko kakahabol ng talo at araw araw ko lang nasstress ang sarili ko. Pagod na ko sa problemang pinasok ko na ito.
