      Thanks for reaching out, i just fixed my car last week and i’m also broke but usually when i’m broke i go deliver food through uber eats and that usually reduces the urges. Stay strong, we can overcome this terrible addiction. 💪

    Just ran into your channel. Being from LA, there is a lot of casinos in a very small radius. You got to be strong brother. One day at a time. I quit drinking a month ago after 6 years of drinking almost every day. It is possible. I am also a compulsive gambler but have managed to slow down on the gambling. It just aint worth it. You have to control the urge of these addictions. Wishing you the best. 🙏🏽

    people who are not addict should not say a shit like "just stop", if it was that easy to stop we would stop. Humans are all same, the only difference is some do not have to suffer from addiction because they were lucky to not get involved deeply with any type of addiction, not because you are stronger than other's. Keep fight my friend!

    yea gambling habit is no joke like heroin. its addicting to win, but not addicting to becoming flat broke. im currently addicted to the lottery which is a scam they see the numbers and know when not many arent playing that number for it to hit. to have you play even more so that wont happend again. i do Pick 3 and Pick 4, if i was around casinos i would spend 80-90 only maybe once a week. because gambling is never a habit if your winning.

I got up and left. I didn't want to be complicit in getting this kid addicted to gambling. Parents, I can't believe I have to tell you this but DO NOT BRING YOUR KIDS TO CASINOS!!!

    I've also been a gambler my whole life. Not as much with casino gambling, but sportsbetting in general. I'm pretty good at casino strategies and what not, but I've been mainly sportsbetting for over 20 years. And mainly in the last couple of years I do a sportsbetting model where I'm consistantly profitable. And it's taken me 20 years to get to where I am at. In the past, winning some years, losing big some years.. but now it's all win and win and win. And what I do is use daily dividends to win with. Not using any of my own bankroll or my own money. So it's constant gains. But thanks for your videos LILAC. Keep going strong. And.. in general I'm not a huge fan of casinos but I understand how they can definitely become addictive. Stay strong!

    If you down cost average into Bitcoin when it dips as a savings account, over the long term you will supercharge you savings. Get a hardware wallet and give it to a trusted family member so you can only deposit with your phone and have no option of withdrawing without the physical wallet. Keep building upward. Any dip is an opportunity to buy more at a discounted price!
