Me, I'm 29 years old $25k in debt 10 years in ruins hard to put it all together in my head

I thought I was mentally ill as above so below Ig 😂😂

I was up 7k in 2 months. But of course i gave it all back. It's impossible to not want more.

Why are some people who gamble do not get addicted

Is gambling hereditary?

It's an awful addiction

Please post link for Everi and the other financial blocker you mentioned.

There are so few GA meetings and few say it is helpful. We need other options.

Hi yall im trying its been a month my damm local is across the street, so im meditating and walking to release but so far so good !!!❤

Your a addict, gambling is a symptom of addiction. It's not gambling or food or sex , it's addiction. Can't dismiss your membership, but it's a band aid .

Sorry I missed the live, Rob. Hope did give a 👍🏻. Would you consider having a gambling addict on who is still actively gambling?

Excellent interview! Thank you for addressing the issues! Lack of federal funding for prevention and treatment is a disgrace. Problem gambling is the fastest growing addiction and yet our government fails to acknowledge the issue. The state I live in doesn’t even have an inpatient treatment program for gambling. 😢

I just turned 29, been gambling since at least 18, over 10 years and just took a step and self excluded/ blocked my accounts for a year. Stay up people good year!

Today is the day i give up gambling forever in my life 12/01/2025

I almost eventually spend everything i win in gambling lol either thru drinks or sum clothes(since the casino i play in got a mall beside it) until i had to stop when i already lost 4000 and moved on from it. never too late to quit y'all if u win some it ain't gonna let u win big so if ever ur a gambler and u win leave the table and spend it immediately to beat the urge to bet another chip in then forget about gambling

The fact there's no federal funding for gambling addiction is absolutely insane. They make so much money, yet they don't want to lift a finger to help people.

😢physically I have spoken to myself, run! Get out of there run!

_Caution: accidental essay!_ If we let the meth industry advertise, sales would soar with young men. Gambling is the same imho. Yes, the start of an addict's recovery depends on their addiction of choice, but the long road is the same daily grind. So would you compare gambling more to food addiction? In Australia the gambling industry approve those tiny Public Service announcements after gambling ads to make sure they're 'harmless'. Here's a few: "What's gambling really costing you?" <- dunno mate, have a beer "You win some, you lose more! <- so I'm due, sweet "Your chances of winning the jackpot are less than 1 in 1 million." <- huge numbers mean nothing Btw Rob, Drew Gooden got 5m views with his online gambling video. I haven't seen it but looks relevant. Cheers. 🇦🇺

Integrated operation so once addicted u lose everything

There ain't nothing you can do about gambling. Unless the US government as a whole becomes strict like South Korea or Muslim nations gambling will only continue to grow. South Korea is very strict on gambling so only very few district have casinos or allow gambling. Even strict Muslim nations that completely bans any form of gambling are starting to allow some form of gambling. In the end it's all about collecting EASY tax revenue. Of course it varies by state and cities also. Utah and Hawaii for example comepletely bans any form of gambling, but the US government as a whole rather have easy money. The only thing that can be done is to have treatment programs and GA for problem gamblers, but gambling will never go away. The EASY MONEY for the government is just too good to throw away.

Compulsive gambling is definitely bad. The problem with gamblers is, they are coming from a greedy perspective instead of a perspective where they manage risk and take only 1 single bet instead of parlays. I used to be a compulsive gambler, I didn’t understand the fundamentals of what I was betting. I was taking high risk on a low probability setup without defined risk before hand. Sports gambling is just like day trading stocks. It’s ok to make $5, $10, or even $19 off 1 bet per day , week, or however consistent you are with keeping losses low. You will have better success with 1 bet than just blindly gambling without any rules and picking parlays that won’t give you an edge. People have to become aware and understand this is a business. This is something that shouldn’t be done for fun because fun turns into an addiction instead of an opportunity to make a return on your money over time.

28 days without gambling and I have started working side hustles to payoff my debt. I will be debt free on 2026 dec.This 2 years will be so hard but i will not quit . once i will be debt free. I will start a new life. Im waiting for jan 1 2027.

Promoting responsible gambling is promoting gambling in general. Making a "moral case" against all gambling used to be something that was done by religious leaders and civic leaders. Now, society and our.institutions no longer talk about the moral degeneracy of all gambling, so that gambling has been so normalized that it is creating so many new gambling addicts. We are in a very dark era. I am just glad that I have been gamble free for 3 years and there are resources like your channel to engage with. Your story and the work you do is very important. Well done.

I think it maybe the same group who was promoting porn. Look at the biggest gambling promoters. Mission to destroy humanity.

There's flaws in this concept

Cuz its a silent disease

best tip wait it out, another tip never reveal to anyone you are a gambler i had people trying to stop me from gambling but i would have gotten actually some good session where i would win plus, another time people look at me weird and even some screamed at me for gambling but from what i understand i wasnt even close to as big as gamblers as them.

Josh seems to like the sound of his own voice. Just being honest

I love gambling but im too broke to gamble nowadays lol

Give your money, again and again. ( Exactly how it happens is unimportant).

I'm an escape gambler, and it does help you forget temporary then reality hits

yeah every industry is doing the same thing ,they put a celeb name it sells faster for more money ,been doing this for years aint just stake

I really recognize one of the early points, that gambling is especially damaging, financially and subsequently mentally, next to the resulting self-esteem and confidence issues. I experience much less stress even though I still previously sometimes drank a bit too much, but the feeling of guilt and shame was/is nothing compared to the feelings I had when I gambled the night before, and lost, albeit in combination with a handful of beers.

I’m not a gambler but I do have a substance addiction and it’s so easy for people who don’t have an addiction to say “just stop” but that strong compulsion to get that next fix is so freaking strong, it trumps everything else. Family, friends, finances and your health. Everything 😞

If you are truly an addict the crushing demoralization feels terrible but also strangely comfortable. You reach a place where you falsely accept the fact that you are just a piece of shit of who has nothing to offer the world and it would be better off without you. 8.5 years since my last drink or bet and from experience I can say I was wrong. The world is much better place with me in it. I am a part of not apart from it. Even if you dont believe me the same is true for you. I stole my kids piggy bank... more than once lol. How dark before the dawn. I have seen some of the sickest people become the greatest pillars in the lives and recovery of others.

I believe that society needs to further understand that compulsive gambling has the highest rate of suicide of any addiction. I entered a hospital with a 30% chance to live.

The addiction we never talk about: ruclips.net/video/cCuSW6QLZU0/видео.htmlsi=eLkKzEigaHXcZULr

Casinos could not exist on winners. They have a lot of expenses.

Absolutely-- no addict is thinking logically under the influence.

Thank you Rob for bringing diversity to that channel and also many more female gamblers. The escape trauma gambling i can relate a lot at beginning. The few last months were exactly chasing losses effect and straight dopamine rush day by day. That was one of the best interview on your channel. Very constructive and full of self reflections. Rhsnk you both 🙏 merci!

Yes gambling is risking your wellbeing. That means that currently your wellbeing is not right. Something is off. So what do you do when your health is off? You ask for help from your gp. So have compulsions to gamble or use drugs or destruct, is the first indication. Ask yourself why? Why do you feel this? It’s hard to figure out why…… Let’s ask a gp. Let’s ask them Why do I feel like gambling!!! Maybe they can give you answers….. Why do I Feel Like Gambling is the question. Who has the answers. Is it the GP Or WHAT? Who has the answers…… HELP!!!!!

Imagine if Kyler got sacked, homie would still be gambling. You’re one win away from getting it all back my boy!!

I am sorry but nobody is making you do anything. At some point you have to take accountability for your own actions. I played poker before even hosted games during college years, i played slots before but always went into it expecting to lose the money i allocated for it. If you go in thinking you will make money playing slots that is not advertising or provider issue the issue is with your iq.

I have done this way too many times.
