Former San Diego Mayor Maureen O'Connor's $1 billion gambling addiction was blamed on a tumor, but what are the medical facts behind problem gambling? David Peters, a family therapist in San Diego, explains.
Addiction starts with pain and ends in pain
Realist shit I’ve ever read
For real..
Forgot I wrote this deep shit
Even death.
@@shentertainer6009 depressing
My heart goes out to all who struggle with this nightmare of an addiction.
Like me
🙏🏾
I have been fighting this for 4 years now.I pray I get to pull myself away from this addiction.Amen
I'm praying for same.
I feel you this the. Hardest thing to I pray to stop this addiction to
Stop being gay. Dicipline you'reself like a man. Its been 8 months, I hope you have defeated that addiction.
I am also saying a prayer every day,God is in his heaven and everything is good, Gambling is a horrible addition,even when you die you have left a bad legacy and people want to forget you,not remember the good , kind person you are.😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 BEWARE
I'm 25 years old and I started gambling when I was 19, and how it all started for me was the first 3 tines I went I won over 5$-600 and I was hooked afterwards and thought it was easy money, and it also doesn't help that I have won over $15k 3 different times and before you know it they have you hooked and your spending your whole check each pay period. Just in the last 4 years I bet I've lost roughly $75k in the long run. It's a terrible habit to have, my advice to anyone is to just never start gambling in the first place.
i agree with you. i am also addicted and had suicidal thoughts many times. I also won at times like 9000 GBP etc but in the long run it all go and you end up bank rupt. I am now in process of giving up and trying hard. wish me luck. we have to work hard. i wish u also recover from this decease
i have so much peace of mind and good sleep since i have stopped
Yeah I always called it a stupid people tax. I was at my job at 19 and someone bought a crossword in front of me. He was a regular dude would spend 300 dollars a day on books. I bought 1 2$ ticket and won 50.00
I fell pray to the trick. I got into poker games at casinos, scratch offs, and other ways of gambling like sports games etc.. it is the worst decision I ever made. Always managed my money pretty decent before that. I feel like a fool because I stopped for 3 years and when my ex broke up with me I just fell apart. Started drinking again after 3 years and everything else. Just really making my life extremely hard. I have 2 sons too and I feel like a failure. Was always a very attentive father and did everything with them. Now I see them 1 to 2 times a week for a few hours. Its shameful
I'm struggling with gambling addiction, I lose a bit and then spend more to try and reclaim my losses... At this point now where I have gone mentally in the last 6months I'm close to giving up on life, I hate what I have become
@@Dbjjr26 give us an update, how are you doing now?
My father is a gambling addict. It’s a terrible life. I miss my dad.
😪😪🤍
My dad was acoholic and my mother was gambler. God didn't bless me with good parents.
@@freespirit7450 don't blame God. You're parents choose that lifestyle. Learn from them and don't be like them. Be a better parent to your kids. God said don't gamble don't do drugs don't drink if people go against God's order how can you blame God. They choose that life.
@Aafiyaa1 I blame God for giving me to parents who have addiction. Isn't he the one who put me in that situation? I didn't ask to be born to parents who have addictions. So it's god fault for letting it happen.
These are my motivation why myself gambling
1. wanna make more money quick /short cut
2. Boredom and want to get excitement.
3. Nothing to do plenty of time to kill
4. Competitiveness mentality measured by what money can do
Thinking that the more money you have you will be more happy
2,3 & 4 is mine
So what's the solution
@@disrael2101 the solution is to simply stop. But ur brain when u stop tells u to keep going and that u need to make back the money u have lost. So its a difficult situation for these people but its the only way out of it.
@@recker5180 me currently I lost so much money that my head is all over the place but I never want help
@@tae9139 bro trust me right now, just handle the loss. Thats how i came out of it. And slow and steady you see yourself making money without having the urge of gambling. If you keep thinking about the loss you will be addicted once again.
Drugs and alcohol can kill us but gambling destroys lives. The pain is endless it's purposely setup. Casinos are a evil so is their money. No matter how much you got or won you lose. I am recovering from it. I pray for you 🙏 and me. People listen 👂 just don't do it. I have done it lost too much. God knows he has a plan. Have what you got just don't go. May God help us forgive and lead us to healthy living 🙏
Amen
Relax my friend. God's plan for you is to gamble. Think about it. What other reason can there be that you gamble?
Gambling can destroy people's life and their children's life and probably will set destroy few generations. Don't know why there are so many gambling firms online! All are crooks.

I know many Hainamese men and women who are damm lazy to earn money, they love to force their spouse and kids for money to gamble and for their own daily use. What a shame to them.
@@candiceho4239 what are hainamese men?
@@therealtruth3299 Hainamese men means these men comes from Hainam Island near China. I heard that normally Hainemese men and women very addicted to gambling and they never repent until they laid straight in coffin.
I have been battling gambling addiction. I went 7 weeks without any gambling recently then once again relapsed and between the casino and buying scratchoffs I've lost like 1400 this month. Been in this vicious circle for years. Last summer I won $4050 on a slot jackpot and it just triggered my excessive desire to gamble.
Dude, it's brutal. Winning only gives you an excuse to lose.
I feel your pain, Gambling almost destroyed me as well. I was in debt after losing 10,000$ - 20,000$. I secured another loan of 5,000$ and decided to Channel my energy to Crypto Currency investment. Now I have made over 100,000$ in Crypto Investment. I thank God for saving me
I feel you man… can’t win the lotto if you don’t play right? 🤪 jk I have a problem. Please pray for us😩🙏🏻
Well gambling is always unpredictable..I did win a $2000 jackpot at the casino this Summer ..but at least I can deduct my scratch off losses on my taxes. Haven't gambled in over a month but I'm sure I'll cave in later
Block yourself ì ii had to do it
My fiancé gambled away 10,000$ that was for buying a house. He refuses to blame himself
nobody has to be blamed. It doesn't fix the problem. I suggest that you support him and help him stay away from gambling
+mksrookies amen

Just be smart don't go to casinos... Boycott them...
Thank you for this video, I'm psychology student and I need this also for my family problems. thank youuuuuuu
You know what saved me from my gambling addiction? It was the pandemic. Being under shut down forced me to stop gambling because, there were no places to gamble. It was terrible for the first 2 weeks, I became anxious, stressed, suffered insomnia, and I ever felt some sort of physical pain.
But as the days burned into weeks, into months and around a full year, I lost any urge of gambling even when places started started opening up again.
So I guess, I was lucky that the pandemic happened
...and then "they" reopened.
same for me sorta but with heroin and booze. then i got into gambling lol. fighting it now...hope you're still clean
informative,therapeutic and experienced video thanks for sharing this.

most are addicted to something...sex, drugs, smoking, sugar, fast food, coffee, money, attention, sodium...we all have addictive personalities in a sense. Gambling is just highlighted due to the financial ruin that can come about. However each of the aforementioned addictions have devastating consequences financially Spiritually and physically if you analyze with the same microscope
I would rather be addicted to coffee
There’s a limit to how many drugs you can take until you end up in a hospital, in gambling there isn’t. Pretty scary.
I agree its that lizard brain wanting instant gratification
hope I can overcome this
I won a lot of money and spend it back real fast and start feeling like crap after.
Yeah, because it wasn't "your money."
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 What do you mean?
That's how they get you. I won $2500 off $10 twice. Don't know how they hell I did that but that's how it all started. I gave it all back. I cashed out a few times on my winnings but it doesn't compare to the money I lost in over 5 years 💯
Kindly don't deal with stopping to gamble. If you could seriously work out on loving your self, work on your underlying pain pains from childhood then you will live a life free from more pain
Interesting video. Thank you.
The dopamine hit is not when you win but before you place a bet. The anticipation. True for gamblers who are addicted. The winning and losing feeling is almost identical. That’s why the money is not the problem, can’t win enough or will gamble till they have nothing. Terrible video!!
So what's the solution
@@disrael2101 hey, the solution depends on the person and there isn’t one way for everyone. First part normally is to admit to yourself (genuinely) that there is a problem. Then its important to put in as many blocks as possible (online) and even contact bank as some can block gambling transactions. Talk to someone you trust and explain the situation. Take a day at a time, go easy on yourself. The dopamine from normal day to day activities will come back and urges to gamble become much less frequent
@@BridgeStamford ya man u feel me.. it's clear you're talking from experience yourself which is super important that i feel u can relate and understand... As u said it's all about the dopamine rush that it provides which the brain gets addicted to plus the money involved makes it inresistsble for the brain.. I'm sure we've this fallecy in the brain to be inclined to fall for this bait at all time and that's what all the companies pray on.. hopefuly I'll be able to find other activities and keep away from it forever .. thanks for sharing ur tips mate
@@disrael2101 yeah good luck. Be careful not to watch too many videos on this stuff and save your energy for your own battle. Hope you understand. 90 days clean and it will be easier
why
Fifty years before this video was produced, people lost houses and marriages and even lives because of gambling. Unless someone can devise a truly effective method of completely eliminating gambling from society, it's more than likely that in another fifty years, such woes will still be taking place.
50 years huh? i'll take the over for 100$
Gambling is like climbing a fake mountain everyday and hoping that you don't fall or walking on the highway and hoping that you don't get hit by a truck.there is nothing sane about gambling or betting.
Good information
he seemed to know his stuff. never heard that malarky about the neuro transmitters but can relate to that feeling some days. as well as a run i find sugary snacks can help ur resolve and will power aswell.
Casino is such a scam. Took me 10 years to learn. Life is really cheap out here. Don’t get stuck at the tables.
Its accepting you lost is the hardest thing to do i swear especially if its your check you been saving
Greed is the fundamental trigger. Of course this is sin, and with sin comes the evil spirit. This is the power behind your addiction
I’m battling it again after having a lot of time without gambling. Covid 19 kinda kicked it off for me again. Going to try one day at a time to not place a bet
if you controlled once, you can do it again,one day at a time.this disease is insidious but your understanding of God grant you control over it.congrats and thank you for sharing.
I'm currently 3 days clean. It's impossible
@@ED-sb2rs you can do it I believe in you
You can overcome this
Way to go. Keep it going. I believe gambling and constantly score watching is a cause of my high blood pressure. I quit 2 days ago and honestly my head feels so much brighter. I gambled for over 5 years. It's crazy. You win 1 time and you think it's easy. It's not. 💯
Every payday I spend $12 on 2 powerball, 2 mega millions, and 2 scratch off. And that's my limit
Than you have it all under control. Stay that way pls... and youll never feel the pain us feel after losing a months work in a hour.
@@dimitrisk4721 I would never citicize those who are going through the situation it is truly horrible but I use those who are as deterrent
It's a smart decision..will follow it with lottery tickets buying limitation. Wish both of us win big in very near time.
my life is destroyed already because of this shit called gambling 😭😭😭 i dont know how to get back up

9 casinos in SD County when I left 15 years ago. In 20 years I think I lost a Quarter million dollars!
I have been trying for 6yrs now to stop. Haven't found a breakthrough yet.
How’s it right now? Have you found a solution?
It's hard man. It has to start with you. You gotta think about your future. I stopped because my blood pressure was getting high. I score watch a lot which can drive you up the wall if things aren't going the way you expect it to. Gambling is too much stress. Life is stressful enough. Anyway that's why I stopped. It was messing with my health mentally and emotionally. Hope you can find something in you to stop 💯
I’ve lost 3,300 dollars gambling since September 2021 until now I’m trying to quit now I lost 2,000 at first gained my 2,000 back and then lost it all again and 1,300 dollars more I took a break in January for 2 months from January to February and started again and march now I’m trying to quit again
how did you win your 2000 back ?? im at 400$ lost in total this year and its my first money every lost gambling and i just wanna win it back lmao
what do you think about before you Gamble?
Frank Albarran i think i will use my winning money to get a good massage and happy ending
why am I going back in here... Then leads to the false "hope" of winning something substantial.
Ok just a little bit. Don't want to go too crazy.
If I just lost, I'm OBSESSED that the NEXT one is the big winner. God help me if I got close or won 60 or 150.00. Then, it's kind of worse. Even tho I'm damn sure it's rigged to almost never pay off in succession...
It's worse if it's money I won previously. For me.
i keep gambling my csgo skins i spend alot of money on them and keep losing them i dont knwo how to stop it i need help
Hello buddy , I'm a consultant. If you need something to help ,try to invest and trade in stocks and gold. Earn profits as returns daily
Its never to late to start a new habit , help you build up your finance . thats m ail above reach out to me
Bro one thing you should do: I can see a relation between me and you were we both gamble not for the money, but for the skins so that we don’t need to pay the full price for those skins. Dude I’m going to be real with you, just DELETE YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT. I don’t care if you have games, seek the skins and delete it, your gonna keep gambling skins not for the money but for the way you feel after every win. Just quit it like me man and never return to steam, go workout and get your body to a beast look.
Gambling is a killer but i stop this thing and gonna move on with my life
Problem is there is no stopping limit no matter how much you win you can't end until you run out of money then you say I will never do it again because you run out of money soon as you get money again same shit
Really trying to understand how does someone enjoy gambling so much. I cant even stand playing card for 20 minutes, but a relative has a 3 day per sessions gambling addition. (no sleep, and put all they got into it, every penny) They closed everybody and everything in the life to play cards, including their children's needs. Its unbelievable, no reasoning only a quick feeling. (no good use of mind) They are chasing a false hope of "Winning it Big" but that doesn't exist mathematically. (72 % chance of loosing, especially the longer you play) I think this is a learned trait (reward/punishment) and the brain may have been re-wired when they create the false hope of winning and using this situation to get away from punishing feelings. Its like they are in love to win, but its not real. Why cant they reason properly ? they lost this skill in addition... i need to understand.
Any animal operates like that. If there's a payoff or a loss every time, it loses its appeal.
Lotto does nothing for me. I prefer much better odds. 1:300+ mil odds is just moronic.
And they always say: SOMEBODY'S gotta win...
It's because you've never won a big jackpot so you wouldn't understand stand. Try winning 12k off of $200 like me and that's how the casinos get you hooked
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 Lots of people win the lottery. Why not you?
You'll probably never understand.
help me I always loose
it's not 'malarky'. all human behavior is in some way linked to neurotransmitters.
Its the devil

Blaming a gambling addiction on a brain tumor is just a copout. Own up to your mistakes and deal with the consequences, mayor.
Not really, tumors can altar someone’s personality, depending on the location. A kind gentle man can become a killer if hit on the frontal lobe hard enough
The gambling industry is also evil, the people who run these casinos are very manipulative
