I was praying one night and I felt like God spoke to me and said gambling will destroy you. I first thought, oh i will loose finiacally. and he said no. you will loose oppurtunites, time with friends, time with family, loss of energy, loss of sleep and a mind that is focused on things else than the purpose that God has for you
Thanks for the honesty - Gambling has destroyed my life - I could be a wealthy man today but gambling has bled me for 22 years. The lies, the wasted time, the missed experiences in life - irreplaceable. I've struggled with several addictions in life - coke, booze - but gambling is the absolute worse.
I am at a very low point in my life because of this addiction. I've lost who I am as a person. I refuse to lose any more and am in the process of quitting. Thank you for your story!
@@macavelli7585 that's easier said than done. When you have a gambling addiction like I do I did try to plan that when I went to Seneca Niagara Casino. But when I lost the money I budgeted for I went back to the ATM which I said I wasn't going to do. So for some people it's better to not gamble at all and to save your money and not be in a tempting situation.
He made the right choice. He chose his family. I tried getting my husband help but he refuses and his mind he thinks he's going to win but I told him no one wins but if they do win they lose it again that's the addiction. Unfortunately my husband chose his gambling addiction and now we're going through a divorce.
I was addicted to nose spray for years. It got so bad that the spray wasn't even working anymore, and I was having serious issues with just breathing. I knew that if I didn't force the change within myself, I would eventually stop breathing all together and die. So I prayed like I I'd never prayed before (which allowed me to form a relationship with God), and I came up with a system that worked to reduce my use. And now I've been nose spray free for almost 6 months. An addiction can ruin your life or even kill you. But getting clean from an addiction is one of the most freeing feelings. But none of it would have been possible without prayer.
Lion King do self-exclusion all casinos lifetime self exclusions if necessary they got you tagged to lose. I been there. I had to face the truth..it is not random its selective who wins. You can do it ..stop heal let God restore whats broken. I wish you the best.
Totally get that. Seriously 1 day at a time works for me. Stopped for quite a while now. If you haven't, give money you have to a trusted family member. To this day, I pay my bills and hand ova money for other bills expenses etc upcoming to my mum to look after. This takes away the chance of gambling as its not there. Only saying my way of handling it. Good luck to you my friend. Seriously 1 day not gambling at a time soon adds up. + little bits of the real you come back that gambling takes away. Ie honesty, being there for people, patience family days out friends empowerment, peace etc etc trust. Mike
Life's a gamble dont make it harder. Moderation is key in any extracurricular activity. If you wanna be professional then take the proper steps. You needed a team a support system. Being a narcissistic sociopath won't help either if you are. Take life back, it's too much going on out here ,sick kids in hospitals, homless(not the junkies) etc... get your ethics straight you'll come up.
Keep fighting brotha....I know what your going through because I'm going through it myself as I watch this video....I'll keep you in my prayers and please keep me in yours....
Me too It is so addictive. I try to convince myself I can control it but IT CONTROLS ME. It's good to know am not the only one, not that i rejoice in hardships but its a motivation that Gambling is wrong. To those who have ears let them hear. AM Officially starting my recovery. God bless you, All my brothers fighting this deception.
I've been badly addicted for the past year. Before that, it was very casual and low bankroll betting. A year ago I started having to pay off some personal debt to my roommate for rent. It has spiraled so far downhill in the past 12 months... Trying to find a way to stop, but it's tough when I look at all my student loan debt, personal debt to my roommate, $600 to my ex that I gambled away, she had saved for vacation funds, $2000 for my mom who bailed me out of getting evicted my final few months in Milwaukee... I'm still betting 80% of my paychecks. It's killing me. It's hard to not have any gifts for anyone, on top of seeing my whole family for Christmas, wondering when I'm gonna graduate college that I stepped away from because of my debt
4KHILL Man I hit the Jackpot 2 months ago for 3,000 at a local gas station and gambled it all away on scratchoffs 25, 20 dollar scratchoffs and about 2000 got took by same machine I won by trying to play at times $5 spins and sometimes 10$ spins I think there's nothing wrong with playing but I think it's best to fold even if you make a twenty dollar profit and than wait until next day and just set a small budget everyday.
@@hiphopstudies I had to move back with my family this summer, after months of almost being evicted. I started a new job making 18/hr, which was great compared to my previous 9.25/hr. First paycheck of 1100, I spent 200 and blew the rest on sports betting. Seocnd check my family took and paid off some student loans and my ex roommate. Third paycheck, deposited 500, got a 250 deposit bonus. Within 24 hours that 750 was at 2500.... Managed to blow all of that down to 0... Also did the same thing back in April when I was facing eviction. Got my 20p up to 2000, and I should have withdrew then and paid off my dues. Nope, I lost it.
Gambler's don't gamble for the money. They do it for the thrill. Adrenaline junkie is actually a more appropriate term. You can never win enough to want to quit and never lose enough to get tired of hustling for the money to gamble. You have to be one hell of a con artist or one hell of a criminal. Thing is when you stop gambling, you actually start winning in life. Easy money is VERY HARD to come by. The casino's and the bookie's almost always win. Great message and great video. Good Luck Jon
well said is not the winning or the losing it is in fact being in ACTION, that 5 seconds as the reels spin , that 8 seconds the dice is in the air , that few seconds till the dealer turns over the cards , the anticipation is were the thrill is and only once totally broke do we see the problem but by then is all to late .......... this is why there are so many suicides due to gambling cause once at the bottom off that cliff there is very very few that will start to climb back up as the damage done financially cant always be repaired
@@steven3678 also no matter how much money you win, when you finally do, it will be too late to get back what you've already lost or too little to cover past losses.
Good luck i''m doing the same i have nothing left im living with my mother ive lost it all to gambling 45k inheritance sold my car sold my jewelry my clothes everything.
Biggest loss today was 2300 at the blackjack tables I'm parked in my car just watching these videos on beating the gambling addiction and today I'm finished with it. Fuck gambling and fuck casinos I'm done with it for good
Thanks man,thats good advice,im 52 and have been gambling all my life,im off it about a year now and i get them thoughs too. Im a single dad and doing good now,i say a prayer to God every day to say i happy with my life,even if im broke somedays it ok,ill be alright,but ut really terrifies me to think i could lose everything i have now,i got no more fightback in me,if i gambler i will lose my family,most probably take my life and no-one will even what to remember me and my bad legacy,and rightly so....i am a much better person for me and my daughter and rest of family being broke,owe the rent some weeks,im ok with that,thats life, everyone owes,but if i want that quick fix lie solution,im dead..i would rather become a crack addict than go to that hell torture chamber of gambling 😱😱😱 i don't apologize for being morbid because that's how it is... God bless you all🙏🙏🙏
I'm an addict as well. It has moved from gambling for real money to buying coins on slotomania. I throw away hundreds a week, with absolutely no chance of return because it's just a game. You are right. it's not about the winning or losing, it's about the rush or adrenaline factor. I am taking steps to heal myself. Congrats on 12 years clean!
I lost 1500 at the casino today! I felt so bad because all I wanted is to make it back but 8 hours later I lost and feel so stupid because it at the time never thought about my bills just trying to make it back but after watching your video, I promised myself they can keep it I’m not going back! Thank you 🙏🏼
Respect for your honesty I to am a recovering...... it's nice to see everybody opening up on there story's. I hope everyone beats there TEMPORARY NOT PERMANENT addiction. Peace and love to everybody make 2019 better than the last. One day at a time guys 🙌
You didn’t like losing. You liked the anticipation of winning. To the brain, the anticipation of winning is the same as winning. That’s why you was encouraged to go back even though you lost.
This is so true. The anticipation of winning is what gets my heart racing. As soon as I've won or lost its straight onto the next betting heat. This comment literally hits the nail on the head. Thanks dude
Ive been on the pokies since 19 aswell, thats 7 years of addiction for me and my spouse has given me the same ultimatum, my gambling addiction or her. And she is perfect to me. I take this time very seriously im on day 4 gambling free. Ive written down a list of reasons not to gamble and it is an intense list so i refer to it whenever i have an urge to gamble. The key component is i dont want to destroy mine and hers realationship to a rotten machine. Any ideas we have for a family will suffer and be destroyed if i continue to gamble. Ive lost countless amounts of money to it and never does it ever help. Thanks for the video bro good to hear such inspiration
Keep Fighting My Brother, I’m A Functional Alcoholic With 4Years And Some Months Sober From Alcohol, And I went 2 Vegas With My Wife, We had a good time no gambling, I don’t need another addiction, A.A. Saved My Life
Hey man thanks for making the video. Ive been struggling for years with this problem. It has cost me a lot. Ive borrowed money, maxed out credit cards, gambled away whole paychecks... this video really inspired me to try to change my life. ....i'm also in Phoenix and want to attend a group but my pride is stopping me .. thank you for the support video.
There is place of hope. The truth cured me. It stings but it heals. It's necessary to get out of the thick fog in which the addiction thrives. Different addictions mask our need to be healed in some areas of our lives where we are hurting. These hurts can be kept "deep down" and never be addressed (because of pride or shame for instance). This is my testimony: Saved from Greed yestothetruth.blogspot.com/2018/10/saved-from-greed-testimony.html #JesusSaves Please share as you are led. Peace to you!
Working on my addiction now and I will say. This is one of the hardest things to deal with. No amount of time I spent researching these bets do me any good. I lose on hail marrys, bunts, errors on the outfield, small small game changers and it hurts. like a truck Laying on your chest. well today is a new Day and January 10 and I have not gambled today.
Steven Stucci chasing...more losses..20yr addict. do self exclusions.. invest your money in something that's going to benefit you. I wish you the best.
I lost 14k once cuz the idiot tripped on a piece of grass with 10 seconds left at the 3 yard line with no one around..was suicidal after almostl woulda been my biggest win!
I know 35 years of compulsive gambling almost took a heart attack from losing everything again ...1 year clean still alive...one day at a time ...God is Great! Keep helping yourself @ others...🙏👣
Thanks for sharing man. Today sitting here on my first day gambling for 2 years everyday straight. Your words totally relate to me. Hope you clean and better now. Take care
TWELVE YEARS SINCE YOUR LAST WAGER!!!! That is certainly an accomplishment to take pride in!!! Many thanks!!!! I have a couple of close relatives still ensnared by pathological gambling. I've (gently) directed them to your website . . .
Leave it alone bud..glad to see ya trying to help others understand...Friends with a chic going threw it and she got it bad...Came looking for help and you cleared up a few things for me..Ty sir...
Thanks deeply for sharing your honest story! I hang around gamblers to understand this crazy addiction! I gamble very lil because firstly I absolutely despise money so to have lots of it would make me physically sick! Years ago I found my newborn fighting for her life because of a Hospital mistake and on the way to the hospital with her......I realized that money had not saved her life......it was God who guided me to find her having problems breathing! Plz remember that a lot of gamblinG establishments take care of their financial obligations first! My heart goes out to families who have lost family members who have killed themselves over their gamblinG debts!😢😇
Thank you so much for the video and motivations, I started gambling on football with I use to love so much since 2010 and I lost all my saving and salaries, and this year I decided to go out of it because I realise it really ruining my life and it will never give me future or the money I expect but destroy me, i have been scam and fool for long time I was so angry with my self and the Gambling stuff. So I decided to leave it and lost interest in football don't watch it and turn to movies and I started to hate the whole shops of gambling and websites, I decided to leave and i control those feelings all i do now is to create projects for my future and i thank God now those feeling of addiction have faded away and I will never waste or throw my money because I know i will never win Now believe in working and doing business to make profit by buying and reselling
I posted this on a thread below here somewhere, but reading the stories it seems like there's a lot of people to recently comment, and a lot of you that are in a dark, lonely, sad place due to this addiction. I gambled 100s of thousands of dollars away, lost my home, stole from jobs, dropped out of law school, couldn't imagine a life without gambling, wondered what it was like to be "normal". So on and so on. It took a lot of work and it took a lot of love and support from a wife that stuck by me, but a few years later and I have completed law school, we have a son, and we recently bought a home together. That's the gist of it, but I just wanted to share. Hopefully somebody out there reads it. I know the thoughts: wanting to die, wanting to be alone, feeling sorry for yourself, feeling like you can't stop, feeling like you don't even wanna stop, lying, stealing, etc. But I want you to know that things can change. You need to want it, you need to love yourself, you need to believe in yourself, you need to forgive yourself, and you need to focus on yourself. Having the love and support of a close loved one helps, but I know not everyone is fortunate to have that. Which is why I focused on what it takes from an individual perspective. If you're hurting and in emotional pain, just know that you can do it, because there are others out there who have done it. And like the gentleman who was gracious enough to post this video asked: why not you, too? Life without it is far better.
I paid off a family member's debts, in the 6 figures. A few months later he got himself into more trouble than before, by further gambling. He came looking for me, telling me how much he suffered if he didn't gamble and would promise to stop just like before. I had to walk away and cut off all ties. The gambler even wrote to me asking me whether I felt guilty about not funding him. The motto is don't pay off the gambler's debts. Who cares if they suffer if they can't gamble. A better thing to do with that money would have been to donate it to charity or set it alight.
This video is HP doing for me what I can't do for myself! I'm sober 2 years from alcohol and drugs, but that didn't stop my gambling addiction. I basically switched seats on the Titanic! I'm ready to put the shovel down, and stop digging! Today is my last day gambling! I encourage anyone struggling with gambling or any addiction to talk to someone. This video was a big help to motivate me. God Bless! 🙏
I lost $500k in 8 years playing slot machines. After losing again $3300 3 weeks ago I took the decision to seek help and stop this madness. I also recorded myself the emotions I had when I came back from the casino after losing so it can be a reminder when I have an urge to gamble. Gambling addiction last bus stop is suicide# death and it will definitely happen someday if not stopped fast. That is the main reason I took the decision to stop for good.
I am a professional baccarat player, one of the best in the world, there is a way to win but you might have to learn from me or someone else like me :)) remember to play games with odds 50/50 (baccarat, roulette- red or black, and so on
I saw your video before I decided to stop gambling. At that time I hadn't hit rock bottom. Seeing it now I feel everything you said. All the pain. Just keep in mind that those odds are fashioned for you to lose it all over time. So you can enjoy the "feeling" of gambling right now and lose everything that has true value in the future.
That's so true Jon. So I had some personal problems that I am hashing out and found out the reason that I gambled. It all boiled down to the inner child that I allowed to run wild because of past hurt. I have that child under control. The only impulse i have now is to go home and find out ways to build a better life for myself long term and gambling wont be part of that future.
People keep saying the odds are in the favour of casino the house always wins blah blah blah. It dont matter 2.fucks how good the odds are addicts will always be down even if the odds are 80% in their favour
going through this right now. im so blessed the wife has stuck with me this long although i know and i am ready to kick this habit. I honestly cant imagine my life with out her yet i cant imagine how much i have made my family suffer considering my bad choices.
Im glad you got yourself out of it.Many People with addictive personalities should never bet a penny. If you don’t have control of your life and emotions, you Will become a gambling addict or drug addict or whatever other vice is close by. I have trained race horses for over 35 years and have seen people destroy their lives by addiction. Problem is most gamblers put themselves in a “im not like the other gamblers” mentality, thinking they can “Beat the game “. Most problem gamblers will never stop till the bottom has hit them on top of the head...Too late for most. But im glad you fought for your family and are winning..One day at a time.
I am currently struggling with the same issue, and I feel like there is no way out, on an edge of divorce, no Christmas spirit, and just lost and hurt., Thanks for sharing.
Karina Lemus i wish you the best of luck ^^ you can do it don't make the same mistake as my dad his alcohol addiction destroyed our family and later in he started gambling and using morfine
i started early cause it filled a void from being shy i never dated so it was perfect. i don't think i would of ever done it if i had confidence. Gambling saved my life and then it destroyed it. the only thing i want is to be clean from this illness
A guy quit gambling...he started a new job and saved good money in 10 years work...one day he lost his job. Then he has no work...he want to restart gambling. Since he was a gambler in the past he took only a day to start the gambling...this time he has 10 years savings in the bank account. He want to take revenge on the gambling. ...he commit the same gambling mistakes he committed in the past....big bets (no control on him self)...he lost his entire 10 years saving with in ten days...these addictions are very difficult to quit...At some point of time losing is thrilling (oh god what a punishment)... Stay away from gambling. Don't keep cash with you. Buy property and pay the loans.
I could write a book about the subject. I never considered myself a compulsive gambler. I was impulsive yes. When I was younger I would go to the casino and max out all my credit cards. And every penny that was in my pocket. I even sold the leather jacket off my back. I used to go to all the hock shops in Atlantic City and hock my expensive jewelry. Only to buy it back again lose again and hock it again. The way I started gambling Wascthrough my parents.when they would have an argument their relief was to go to Atlantic City and I would tag along at the age of 18. I soon started playing the wheel and a little bit of blackjack. The first time I played slots I won a few hundred bucks and I was hooked. I am 58 years old now.I was able to survive and create a thriving business having everything Lamborghinis McLaren's and create a multimillion-dollar business through my gambling.another words not from gambling but I continue to gamble while I created my business. I did not consider my self compulsive because I didn't lose everything.but if I could see all the money I lost on a table if I could find a table big enough to fit all of that money I would be sick to death.I had to at least Louvre between two to three million dollars.it began small and then I started moving up to Max bets in blackjack and baccarat. I got myself Markers inall the casinos.there were times when I would cry thinking how am I going to pay them all back at once. I would literally have to hock an expensive watch or something that I love dearly just to pay my bills. The thing I want to explain to everyone is please understand this: you will never win get it through your head you will never win.the stories you hear about professional gamblers winning millions of dollars are b*******. Yes maybe they did it one time I've won much money in a single time yes.But an honest Gambler will tell you they lose more than they win even a professional card counter which I became. There are way too many countermeasures now and too many decks to count cards.if you want to win a couple hundred dollars or $100 in a day it is not worth it the stress the time and the bank will you will need to have the cards change. If you want to hit millions you're going to have to play with millions. You will have to be prepared to take a million dollar loss or more to get millionsthe casinos put the stories out about people taking them for a lot of money on purpose to try to goad you to go to the casino. come on give me a break Jennifer Lopez mother wins the progressive slot machine when Jennifer Lopez was on top of her stardom. You're telling me borgata good not set that up?of course they did they know everyone and whoever is in that casino gambling. I often played blackjack and baccarat. One time I decided to play high limit slots.Being the superstitious person that I was I decided not to use my players card.when you're playing $500 to pull the machine goes off almost every 3 or 4 **spins.it** is absurd that anything over $1,500 the bell rings and you get a form from the IRS to sign. I completely ignored all of that by not using my card for to record my losses. Lo and behold I was given a bill by the IRS for winnings of a half a million dollars on slots. I had to get a lawyer and pay a lot of money to get out of that. The casino is a Haven from hell and was created by Satan. The goings-on there are satanic. One time I was playing at Taj Mahal there was a gentleman fighting with another younger gentleman over a poker seat.the fight spilled out onto the street in front of Taj Mahal.the older gentleman was beating the younger gentleman with his Cane while the younger jellum and stabbed him to death. The older gentleman sat down and bled out and died right there. What did Taj Mahal do? They brought out the Zamboni machine to clean out all the blood that was in front of their place and resumed business. your host is not your friend he is a demon from hell trying to rob you of everything you've worked hard for.nobody gives a s*** about your life there they only want your money and when you have no more you are nothing to them.thank God I have finally stopped and thank God I still have a thriving business and money in my pocket and a beautiful wife and child and I thank God for the grace that he has given me to stop. If this is not enough for you please I implore you quit you will never win. What is the difference if you want 20,000 one day.But then you continue to go back and keep losing all the money back that you won at then some. It is the most terrible investment you will never be on top.so when people say I only go for fun to lose a few dollars why lose even that?Save that few dollars and before you know what you have a nice bank roll to go on a vacation for you and your family together.the Crystal casino was created by the government to get tax dollars from business owners who might not pay all their taxes. they'll get you one way or the other businessman.the casino was created for lonely old people to go on the bus and lose their social security and welfare checks. Be careful senior citizens.the casino was created for young people to be excited by the clubs and the club scene at the casino and oh by the way hook you on gambling. Be careful young people. I was a young person and now I am 58 I've lost millions of dollars. It took me all this time to finally learn. Learn from someone with experience as myself do not gamble not even a dollar.breaks my heart to hear the stories of people suffering and losing everything that they worked hard for.over the course of the years of gambling I have seen many businessmen lose everything that they've had $1000000 companies multi-million at that. I have seen friends put in jail over gambling debts. Shame on the government for creating this place from hell.I want Jesus Christ returns for the second coming I believe and hope the angels will destroy the casinos first. sorry about the run-on sentences guys I had to use voice recognition for this long post
There is place of hope. The truth cured me. It stings but it heals. This is my testimony: Saved from Greed yestothetruth.blogspot.com/2018/10/saved-from-greed-testimony.html #JesusSaves Please share as you are led. Peace to you!
Thanks to all who have posted there experiences on this and other videos. It has really helped me as I try very hard to stay away from these casinos!!!
cannot begin to describe to you how much this video helped me. I literally have been gambling everyday on sports or in casino for going on 10 years man. It is literally killing me and my family. Today I make the decision to STOP...
Great video mate. I'm a compulsive gambler and have to say Gamblers Anonymous saved my life, I've got a RUclips channel too and Vlog my story through gambling addiction. I relate so much to your story, you are amazing and strong. It's all about breaking that triangle of time, money and opportunity, getting them barriers in place. Always here for a chat buddy, keep going a day at a time. You are brilliant. Kind Regards Andy from Derby, England.
Love your video..I have lost 60 thousand over past 10 years I lost it all bro and I just decided to walk away yesterday. I bet every sport tennis soccer NFL NBA MLB I went on a 0-10 streak two days ago and hit rock bottom. But I cannot stop thinking about all the money that I have lost it just makes me feel like shit. I dont want anyone to know about my situation
I used to be the most hard working person and now the game has changed now am lazy ,darty , stressed up and unhonest 😭😭😭 I lier every day ...I wanna quit for sure.... 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 Following for more
@@vnngetich9557thanks to the creater of the video and also believing in me coz singe wacha though it's hard day za fast fast so don't give up ..... I stopped using smart phone No mpesa Look for good friends whom you can talk to or going for road trip Write down your time table
Thanks man i have been doing gambling for more then 12 years, but I promise you I’ll give up now , and I’ll let you know after 5 years I don’t gamble thanks man for ur time
Agree totally with this mentality, a great way to eradicate this seemingly never-ending cycle of insanity I found you must swap this obsession for a healthier one
Just gambled my holiday hotel money for next month, feel awful.Used to bet football/soccer on a saturday and enjoy it but that spread to betting on everything, last night it was ice hockey.I've developed a cold already due to the stress and heave a heart condition triggered by stress.Madness and i'm stopping right now.
It always starts out as entertainment and minor loses. After ten grand went I stopped and accepted the loss and just stayed away from all forms of gambling. I guess I was addicted briefly and pulled out of the trance early on. It was difficult staying away but I just didn't want to go back to my old ways and that sinking feeling each time I was down 5 hundred leaving the place. The wins were few and far between and always just enough to keep me going back looking for more.
well said that gambling is your besy friend amd at the same time your worse enemy its a bit like a fake friend who stabs you sooner or later with a knife if know what i mean anyway im happy that you were able to quit gambling my dad has also a gambling problem but he doesn't admit it and i would also probably if i would live nearby a casino because im realllllly impulsive it even get me almost killed a few times
Casinos are the ways of easy business and making easy money too. They have no items or products to sell and make profits, people just come in do gambling until became addicted to it. People dont realize that casinos operation is also because of their money. There will be no casinos if people are not coming to play or hook to it
What was the best way to cope out the urgency ... to wanting to sports bet man ... I hate the urge to sports bet trying to stay in gym to have a healthier new approach addiction
I'm also totally comfortable with struggling all the time financially, that pressure of getting by.Had a big loan last year and it drove me mad sitting on that money, wasn't used to it.I know part is not feeling i deserve to be comfortable and that i must struggle to be some type of martyr but not anymore.Gambling i'm giving you the big boot.
Man I lost $750,000 I swear I put my family through hell on black jack and slots till I said that’s it I did a self band on all sorounding casinos they say you cannot put you can they will do it I have been clean from that for 9 years if you cannot stop ask for a self band you will be glad you did save yourself and your family
I won 6500 and felt the same way. when I realized that I had a addiction to gamble because you think you could win it again and I felt for the traps of the casino but I had enough.
Jon You made the right choice my friend-I am not lying here but I have lost over $400,000 gambling throughout my life-take it from me not only is it a vicious disease but I am 100 % certain that the majority of these professional sporting events are all fixed-so not only are you fighting the addiction but it is a rigged game-trust me you won't beat these fuckers. It may be too late for me but as the saying goes-"learn from other people's mistakes" like mine and steer clear of gambling. It will not only ruin your life but more importantly the family and friends that love you. All the best.
I played college ball for 3 years. my college tution was paid and a new house after college. I was the stupid foul guy if you know what I mean! I get $1000 a month . yes by Vegas

Russel I've been looking for help too..lost 800 yesterday...pulled out more to try and win it back...1200 gone...now I can't even eat lunch for the week..
Been with my husband 4 years and I’m there with my husband. I’m due in 4 weeks with our son and we have a 3 year old. Yesterday he begged and begged me to take the rest of his whole paycheque to try “winning” I told him no and I told him he wins and he can divorce me since he’s been talking so much about it in the past when I try to say no to him and I give in because I don’t want to divorce but I have to protect my family and my non-negotiable is going without (no money for food and necessities) I don’t know how to go about this ultimatum. It breaks my heart. I feel like if we divorce he will end up on the street and spiral out of control. And he’s such an amazing father
I was praying one night and I felt like God spoke to me and said gambling will destroy you. I first thought, oh i will loose finiacally. and he said no. you will loose oppurtunites, time with friends, time with family, loss of energy, loss of sleep and a mind that is focused on things else than the purpose that God has for you
Thanks for the honesty - Gambling has destroyed my life - I could be a wealthy man today but gambling has bled me for 22 years. The lies, the wasted time, the missed experiences in life - irreplaceable. I've struggled with several addictions in life - coke, booze - but gambling is the absolute worse.
I am at a very low point in my life because of this addiction. I've lost who I am as a person. I refuse to lose any more and am in the process of quitting. Thank you for your story!
Did u quit bro
Same here.....
@IBM Vrc Thank you for you kind words..I apreciate it....Good luck to you too!!!!
If your gambling it's about money management. Just limit yourself to an amount you can afford each week and dont go over it simple.
@@macavelli7585 that's easier said than done. When you have a gambling addiction like I do I did try to plan that when I went to Seneca Niagara Casino. But when I lost the money I budgeted for I went back to the ATM which I said I wasn't going to do. So for some people it's better to not gamble at all and to save your money and not be in a tempting situation.
He made the right choice. He chose his family. I tried getting my husband help but he refuses and his mind he thinks he's going to win but I told him no one wins but if they do win they lose it again that's the addiction. Unfortunately my husband chose his gambling addiction and now we're going through a divorce.
I was addicted to nose spray for years. It got so bad that the spray wasn't even working anymore, and I was having serious issues with just breathing. I knew that if I didn't force the change within myself, I would eventually stop breathing all together and die. So I prayed like I I'd never prayed before (which allowed me to form a relationship with God), and I came up with a system that worked to reduce my use. And now I've been nose spray free for almost 6 months. An addiction can ruin your life or even kill you. But getting clean from an addiction is one of the most freeing feelings. But none of it would have been possible without prayer.
The amount of money and respect that I've lost from gambling is immeasurable. I need help no doubt. inspiring video
Lion King do self-exclusion all casinos lifetime self exclusions if necessary they got you tagged to lose. I been there. I had to face the truth..it is not random its selective who wins. You can do it ..stop heal let God restore whats broken. I wish you the best.
Amen! We gotta fight the good fight against the evils of the casino!
Hang in there bro pray on it I’ve lost thousands to gambling myself
Totally get that. Seriously 1 day at a time works for me. Stopped for quite a while now. If you haven't, give money you have to a trusted family member. To this day, I pay my bills and hand ova money for other bills expenses etc upcoming to my mum to look after. This takes away the chance of gambling as its not there. Only saying my way of handling it. Good luck to you my friend. Seriously 1 day not gambling at a time soon adds up. + little bits of the real you come back that gambling takes away. Ie honesty, being there for people, patience family days out friends empowerment, peace etc etc trust. Mike
Life's a gamble dont make it harder. Moderation is key in any extracurricular activity. If you wanna be professional then take the proper steps. You needed a team a support system. Being a narcissistic sociopath won't help either if you are. Take life back, it's too much going on out here ,sick kids in hospitals, homless(not the junkies) etc... get your ethics straight you'll come up.
Keep fighting brotha....I know what your going through because I'm going through it myself as I watch this video....I'll keep you in my prayers and please keep me in yours....
Going through it also brother your not alone. Fuck gambling and fuck casinos. Just work hard and save your money it's the only way
Me too It is so addictive. I try to convince myself I can control it but IT CONTROLS ME. It's good to know am not the only one, not that i rejoice in hardships but its a motivation that Gambling is wrong. To those who have ears let them hear. AM Officially starting my recovery. God bless you, All my brothers fighting this deception.
I've been badly addicted for the past year. Before that, it was very casual and low bankroll betting. A year ago I started having to pay off some personal debt to my roommate for rent. It has spiraled so far downhill in the past 12 months... Trying to find a way to stop, but it's tough when I look at all my student loan debt, personal debt to my roommate, $600 to my ex that I gambled away, she had saved for vacation funds, $2000 for my mom who bailed me out of getting evicted my final few months in Milwaukee...
I'm still betting 80% of my paychecks. It's killing me. It's hard to not have any gifts for anyone, on top of seeing my whole family for Christmas, wondering when I'm gonna graduate college that I stepped away from because of my debt
4KHILL Man I hit the Jackpot 2 months ago for 3,000 at a local gas station and gambled it all away on scratchoffs 25, 20 dollar scratchoffs and about 2000 got took by same machine I won by trying to play at times $5 spins and sometimes 10$ spins I think there's nothing wrong with playing but I think it's best to fold even if you make a twenty dollar profit and than wait until next day and just set a small budget everyday.
@@hiphopstudies I had to move back with my family this summer, after months of almost being evicted. I started a new job making 18/hr, which was great compared to my previous 9.25/hr. First paycheck of 1100, I spent 200 and blew the rest on sports betting. Seocnd check my family took and paid off some student loans and my ex roommate. Third paycheck, deposited 500, got a 250 deposit bonus. Within 24 hours that 750 was at 2500.... Managed to blow all of that down to 0... Also did the same thing back in April when I was facing eviction. Got my 20p up to 2000, and I should have withdrew then and paid off my dues. Nope, I lost it.
Gambler's don't gamble for the money. They do it for the thrill. Adrenaline junkie is actually a more appropriate term. You can never win enough to want to quit and never lose enough to get tired of hustling for the money to gamble. You have to be one hell of a con artist or one hell of a criminal. Thing is when you stop gambling, you actually start winning in life. Easy money is VERY HARD to come by. The casino's and the bookie's almost always win. Great message and great video. Good Luck Jon
So true. Gamblers dont gamble to win money to spend on things they wing money to gamble with.
Amen! We gotta fight the good fight against the evils of the casino!
Real shit
well said is not the winning or the losing it is in fact being in ACTION, that 5 seconds as the reels spin , that 8 seconds the dice is in the air , that few seconds till the dealer turns over the cards , the anticipation is were the thrill is and only once totally broke do we see the problem but by then is all to late .......... this is why there are so many suicides due to gambling cause once at the bottom off that cliff there is very very few that will start to climb back up as the damage done financially cant always be repaired
@@steven3678 also no matter how much money you win, when you finally do, it will be too late to get back what you've already lost or too little to cover past losses.
I'm done no more for me fuck gambling it's a mugs game . iv lost thousands and I refuse to lose anymore. today it stops. 👍
zeki hutari yes..do self exclusions if necessary..congratulations on quitting. Its horrible..chasing let it go.
Good luck i''m doing the same i have nothing left im living with my mother ive lost it all to gambling 45k inheritance sold my car sold my jewelry my clothes everything.
it wont stop unless you get help...you have said thosand times thats it iam done
mikebdb8 true said that many times
Biggest loss today was 2300 at the blackjack tables I'm parked in my car just watching these videos on beating the gambling addiction and today I'm finished with it. Fuck gambling and fuck casinos I'm done with it for good
Thanks man,thats good advice,im 52 and have been gambling all my life,im off it about a year now and i get them thoughs too. Im a single dad and doing good now,i say a prayer to God every day to say i happy with my life,even if im broke somedays it ok,ill be alright,but ut really terrifies me to think i could lose everything i have now,i got no more fightback in me,if i gambler i will lose my family,most probably take my life and no-one will even what to remember me and my bad legacy,and rightly so....i am a much better person for me and my daughter and rest of family being broke,owe the rent some weeks,im ok with that,thats life, everyone owes,but if i want that quick fix lie solution,im dead..i would rather become a crack addict than go to that hell torture chamber of gambling 😱😱😱 i don't apologize for being morbid because that's how it is... God bless you all🙏🙏🙏
I'm an addict as well. It has moved from gambling for real money to buying coins on slotomania. I throw away hundreds a week, with absolutely no chance of return because it's just a game. You are right. it's not about the winning or losing, it's about the rush or adrenaline factor. I am taking steps to heal myself. Congrats on 12 years clean!
I lost 1500 at the casino today! I felt so bad because all I wanted is to make it back but 8 hours later I lost and feel so stupid because it at the time never thought about my bills just trying to make it back but after watching your video, I promised myself they can keep it I’m not going back! Thank you 🙏🏼
Yep let them keep it don't go back
T Curly I have a way you can make your money back🤫
Respect for your honesty I to am a recovering...... it's nice to see everybody opening up on there story's. I hope everyone beats there TEMPORARY NOT PERMANENT addiction. Peace and love to everybody make 2019 better than the last. One day at a time guys 🙌
Bless you my friend, your testimony will help others ( as for my self ) I’m struggling as we speak 💯
Right point" where you like losing more than winning so true jujuju it sad but true
You didn’t like losing. You liked the anticipation of winning. To the brain, the anticipation of winning is the same as winning. That’s why you was encouraged to go back even though you lost.
We gotta fight the good fight against the evils of the casino!
This is so true. The anticipation of winning is what gets my heart racing.
As soon as I've won or lost its straight onto the next betting heat.
This comment literally hits the nail on the head. Thanks dude
Man thats so true thats y when u lose u chase because u think that was a win.
@@adzbostone1711 it really did
Thanks for sharing bro
Ive been on the pokies since 19 aswell, thats 7 years of addiction for me and my spouse has given me the same ultimatum, my gambling addiction or her. And she is perfect to me. I take this time very seriously im on day 4 gambling free. Ive written down a list of reasons not to gamble and it is an intense list so i refer to it whenever i have an urge to gamble. The key component is i dont want to destroy mine and hers realationship to a rotten machine. Any ideas we have for a family will suffer and be destroyed if i continue to gamble. Ive lost countless amounts of money to it and never does it ever help.
Thanks for the video bro good to hear such inspiration
Thanks for sharing your story. I have been through the same thing. Haven't gambled in 2 months and counting.
Love
Hey, how's you holding up so far
You are beautiful ❤
Thank you for your help and support, you have made me see another way and reason to be a better me and confront my gambling demon.
Keep Fighting My Brother, I’m A Functional Alcoholic With 4Years And Some Months Sober From Alcohol, And I went 2 Vegas With My Wife, We had a good time no gambling, I don’t need another addiction, A.A. Saved My Life
Hey man thanks for making the video. Ive been struggling for years with this problem. It has cost me a lot. Ive borrowed money, maxed out credit cards, gambled away whole paychecks... this video really inspired me to try to change my life. ....i'm also in Phoenix and want to attend a group but my pride is stopping me
.. thank you for the support video.
There is place of hope. The truth cured me. It stings but it heals.
It's necessary to get out of the thick fog in which the addiction thrives. Different addictions mask our need to be healed in some areas of our lives where we are hurting. These hurts can be kept "deep down" and never be addressed (because of pride or shame for instance).
This is my testimony:
Saved from Greed

May God bless you brother. Keep your head up. Today and tomorrow will be brighter and better. Thank you.
Working on my addiction now and I will say. This is one of the hardest things to deal with. No amount of time I spent researching these bets do me any good. I lose on hail marrys, bunts, errors on the outfield, small small game changers and it hurts. like a truck Laying on your chest. well today is a new Day and January 10 and I have not gambled today.
It's not worth it. We just can't win
Steven Stucci chasing...more losses..20yr addict. do self exclusions.. invest your money in something that's going to benefit you. I wish you the best.
I lost 14k once cuz the idiot tripped on a piece of grass with 10 seconds left at the 3 yard line with no one around..was suicidal after almostl woulda been my biggest win!
I know 35 years of compulsive gambling almost took a heart attack from losing everything again ...1 year clean still alive...one day at a time ...God is Great! Keep helping yourself @ others...🙏👣
This is exactly what I needed to hear tonight. I had 10 years in GA and sports gambling had its claws in me once again. It's insidious.
I don't miss slot machines! The Lord is so powerful!😊
Amen! We gotta fight the good fight against the evils of the casino!
Dont play slots they are designed for you to lose. Simple
Praise the Lord
Well said Glory to God
Thanks for sharing man. Today sitting here on my first day gambling for 2 years everyday straight. Your words totally relate to me. Hope you clean and better now. Take care
TWELVE YEARS SINCE YOUR LAST WAGER!!!! That is certainly an accomplishment to take pride in!!! Many thanks!!!! I have a couple of close relatives still ensnared by pathological gambling. I've (gently) directed them to your website . . .
Leave it alone bud..glad to see ya trying to help others understand...Friends with a chic going threw it and she got it bad...Came looking for help and you cleared up a few things for me..Ty sir...
Tx for sharing hope your still doing good.Trying to quit depressing!
Thanks deeply for sharing your honest story! I hang around gamblers to understand this crazy addiction! I gamble very lil because firstly I absolutely despise money so to have lots of it would make me physically sick! Years ago I found my newborn fighting for her life because of a Hospital mistake and on the way to the hospital with her......I realized that money had not saved her life......it was God who guided me to find her having problems breathing! Plz remember that a lot of gamblinG establishments take care of their financial obligations first! My heart goes out to families who have lost family members who have killed themselves over their gamblinG debts!😢😇
Thanks for your help and support and sharing is caring
Getting something for free never happens...gambling is poverty mentality. Everyone that gambles loses. That's how casinos make their money
Thank you so much for the video and motivations, I started gambling on football with I use to love so much since 2010 and I lost all my saving and salaries, and this year I decided to go out of it because I realise it really ruining my life and it will never give me future or the money I expect but destroy me, i have been scam and fool for long time I was so angry with my self and the Gambling stuff. So I decided to leave it and lost interest in football don't watch it and turn to movies and I started to hate the whole shops of gambling and websites, I decided to leave and i control those feelings all i do now is to create projects for my future and i thank God now those feeling of addiction have faded away and I will never waste or throw my money because I know i will never win Now believe in working and doing business to make profit by buying and reselling
Thank you so much for sharing your story Jon. Well done on abstaining!
I posted this on a thread below here somewhere, but reading the stories it seems like there's a lot of people to recently comment, and a lot of you that are in a dark, lonely, sad place due to this addiction. I gambled 100s of thousands of dollars away, lost my home, stole from jobs, dropped out of law school, couldn't imagine a life without gambling, wondered what it was like to be "normal". So on and so on. It took a lot of work and it took a lot of love and support from a wife that stuck by me, but a few years later and I have completed law school, we have a son, and we recently bought a home together. That's the gist of it, but I just wanted to share. Hopefully somebody out there reads it. I know the thoughts: wanting to die, wanting to be alone, feeling sorry for yourself, feeling like you can't stop, feeling like you don't even wanna stop, lying, stealing, etc. But I want you to know that things can change. You need to want it, you need to love yourself, you need to believe in yourself, you need to forgive yourself, and you need to focus on yourself. Having the love and support of a close loved one helps, but I know not everyone is fortunate to have that. Which is why I focused on what it takes from an individual perspective. If you're hurting and in emotional pain, just know that you can do it, because there are others out there who have done it. And like the gentleman who was gracious enough to post this video asked: why not you, too? Life without it is far better.
I paid off a family member's debts, in the 6 figures.
A few months later he got himself into more trouble than before, by further gambling. He came looking for me, telling me how much he suffered if he didn't gamble and would promise to stop just like before.
I had to walk away and cut off all ties. The gambler even wrote to me asking me whether I felt guilty about not funding him.
The motto is don't pay off the gambler's debts. Who cares if they suffer if they can't gamble.
A better thing to do with that money would have been to donate it to charity or set it alight.
I began gambling a while is like I can't control it I turn to these video for help it does help a lot
Hi Jon, how can get i contact with you? i would love to contact with you in person!
Great story, I am on the way to writing. I have recovered from debt but I kept on loosing. This time i won't give up and would win for sure.
This video is HP doing for me what I can't do for myself! I'm sober 2 years from alcohol and drugs, but that didn't stop my gambling addiction. I basically switched seats on the Titanic! I'm ready to put the shovel down, and stop digging! Today is my last day gambling! I encourage anyone struggling with gambling or any addiction to talk to someone. This video was a big help to motivate me. God Bless! 🙏
I lost $500k in 8 years playing slot machines. After losing again $3300 3 weeks ago I took the decision to seek help and stop this madness. I also recorded myself the emotions I had when I came back from the casino after losing so it can be a reminder when I have an urge to gamble. Gambling addiction last bus stop is suicide# death and it will definitely happen someday if not stopped fast. That is the main reason I took the decision to stop for good.
Good on you my friend. Lost 77k over 1.3 years and feeling pretty low right now. Your comment inspired me to know I’m not alone and there is a way out
@@evstar9634 hi bro. How you lost?
I am a professional baccarat player, one of the best in the world, there is a way to win but you might have to learn from me or someone else like me :)) remember to play games with odds 50/50 (baccarat, roulette- red or black, and so on
Hey bro how are you coping so far?
Thank you so much I really need to hear this.
I saw your video before I decided to stop gambling. At that time I hadn't hit rock bottom. Seeing it now I feel everything you said. All the pain. Just keep in mind that those odds are fashioned for you to lose it all over time. So you can enjoy the "feeling" of gambling right now and lose everything that has true value in the future.
nationofmillions happy to hear you quit and got out the losing game of gamble. It's just a fake pleasure with no upside
That's so true Jon. So I had some personal problems that I am hashing out and found out the reason that I gambled. It all boiled down to the inner child that I allowed to run wild because of past hurt. I have that child under control. The only impulse i have now is to go home and find out ways to build a better life for myself long term and gambling wont be part of that future.
People keep saying the odds are in the favour of casino the house always wins blah blah blah. It dont matter 2.fucks how good the odds are addicts will always be down even if the odds are 80% in their favour
Thank you for sharing your story!
GREAT MESSAGE. THANK YOU.
going through this right now. im so blessed the wife has stuck with me this long although i know and i am ready to kick this habit. I honestly cant imagine my life with out her yet i cant imagine how much i have made my family suffer considering my bad choices.
Im glad you got yourself out of it.Many People with addictive personalities should never bet a penny. If you don’t have control of your life and emotions, you Will become a gambling addict or drug addict or whatever other vice is close by.
I have trained race horses for over 35 years and have seen people destroy their lives by addiction.
Problem is most gamblers put themselves in a “im not like the other gamblers” mentality, thinking they can “Beat the game “.
Most problem gamblers will never stop till the bottom has hit them on top of the head...Too late for most.
But im glad you fought for your family and are winning..One day at a time.
I am currently struggling with the same issue, and I feel like there is no way out, on an edge of divorce, no Christmas spirit, and just lost and hurt., Thanks for sharing.
Karina Lemus im sorry to hear that : / its good that i don't live near a casino because of my add im impulsive as fk you already looking for help?
Yes, I am determined to get out of this self destruct mode, I have found a local GA group and signed up to attend other meetings.
Karina Lemus i wish you the best of luck ^^ you can do it don't make the same mistake as my dad his alcohol addiction destroyed our family and later in he started gambling and using morfine
There's a way out.. I almost lost mine too. Are you guys on Facebook at all?
Jon Goodman ..yes, I am on FB
same here zeki hutari! screw it! Countless attempts, same result! Time to stop the cycle of insanity for me!
Thanks for sharing Happy Thanksgiving buddy
i started early cause it filled a void from being shy i never dated so it was perfect. i don't think i would of ever done it if i had confidence. Gambling saved my life and then it destroyed it. the only thing i want is to be clean from this illness
A guy quit gambling...he started a new job and saved good money in 10 years work...one day he lost his job.
Then he has no work...he want to restart gambling. Since he was a gambler in the past he took only a day to start the gambling...this time he has 10 years savings in the bank account. He want to take revenge on the gambling. ...he commit the same gambling mistakes he committed in the past....big bets (no control on him self)...he lost his entire 10 years saving with in ten days...these addictions are very difficult to quit...At some point of time losing is thrilling (oh god what a punishment)...
Stay away from gambling. Don't keep cash with you. Buy property and pay the loans.
Sir with this video you will save a lot of family.
I could write a book about the subject. I never considered myself a compulsive gambler. I was impulsive yes. When I was younger I would go to the casino and max out all my credit cards. And every penny that was in my pocket. I even sold the leather jacket off my back. I used to go to all the hock shops in Atlantic City and hock my expensive jewelry. Only to buy it back again lose again and hock it again. The way I started gambling Wascthrough my parents.when they would have an argument their relief was to go to Atlantic City and I would tag along at the age of 18. I soon started playing the wheel and a little bit of blackjack. The first time I played slots I won a few hundred bucks and I was hooked. I am 58 years old now.I was able to survive and create a thriving business having everything Lamborghinis McLaren's and create a multimillion-dollar business through my gambling.another words not from gambling but I continue to gamble while I created my business. I did not consider my self compulsive because I didn't lose everything.but if I could see all the money I lost on a table if I could find a table big enough to fit all of that money I would be sick to death.I had to at least Louvre between two to three million dollars.it began small and then I started moving up to Max bets in blackjack and baccarat. I got myself Markers inall the casinos.there were times when I would cry thinking how am I going to pay them all back at once. I would literally have to hock an expensive watch or something that I love dearly just to pay my bills. The thing I want to explain to everyone is please understand this: you will never win get it through your head you will never win.the stories you hear about professional gamblers winning millions of dollars are b*******. Yes maybe they did it one time I've won much money in a single time yes.But an honest Gambler will tell you they lose more than they win even a professional card counter which I became. There are way too many countermeasures now and too many decks to count cards.if you want to win a couple hundred dollars or $100 in a day it is not worth it the stress the time and the bank will you will need to have the cards change. If you want to hit millions you're going to have to play with millions. You will have to be prepared to take a million dollar loss or more to get millionsthe casinos put the stories out about people taking them for a lot of money on purpose to try to goad you to go to the casino. come on give me a break Jennifer Lopez mother wins the progressive slot machine when Jennifer Lopez was on top of her stardom. You're telling me borgata good not set that up?of course they did they know everyone and whoever is in that casino gambling. I often played blackjack and baccarat. One time I decided to play high limit slots.Being the superstitious person that I was I decided not to use my players card.when you're playing $500 to pull the machine goes off almost every 3 or 4 **spins.it** is absurd that anything over $1,500 the bell rings and you get a form from the IRS to sign. I completely ignored all of that by not using my card for to record my losses. Lo and behold I was given a bill by the IRS for winnings of a half a million dollars on slots. I had to get a lawyer and pay a lot of money to get out of that. The casino is a Haven from hell and was created by Satan. The goings-on there are satanic. One time I was playing at Taj Mahal there was a gentleman fighting with another younger gentleman over a poker seat.the fight spilled out onto the street in front of Taj Mahal.the older gentleman was beating the younger gentleman with his Cane while the younger jellum and stabbed him to death. The older gentleman sat down and bled out and died right there. What did Taj Mahal do? They brought out the Zamboni machine to clean out all the blood that was in front of their place and resumed business. your host is not your friend he is a demon from hell trying to rob you of everything you've worked hard for.nobody gives a s*** about your life there they only want your money and when you have no more you are nothing to them.thank God I have finally stopped and thank God I still have a thriving business and money in my pocket and a beautiful wife and child and I thank God for the grace that he has given me to stop. If this is not enough for you please I implore you quit you will never win. What is the difference if you want 20,000 one day.But then you continue to go back and keep losing all the money back that you won at then some. It is the most terrible investment you will never be on top.so when people say I only go for fun to lose a few dollars why lose even that?Save that few dollars and before you know what you have a nice bank roll to go on a vacation for you and your family together.the Crystal casino was created by the government to get tax dollars from business owners who might not pay all their taxes. they'll get you one way or the other businessman.the casino was created for lonely old people to go on the bus and lose their social security and welfare checks. Be careful senior citizens.the casino was created for young people to be excited by the clubs and the club scene at the casino and oh by the way hook you on gambling. Be careful young people. I was a young person and now I am 58 I've lost millions of dollars. It took me all this time to finally learn. Learn from someone with experience as myself do not gamble not even a dollar.breaks my heart to hear the stories of people suffering and losing everything that they worked hard for.over the course of the years of gambling I have seen many businessmen lose everything that they've had $1000000 companies multi-million at that. I have seen friends put in jail over gambling debts. Shame on the government for creating this place from hell.I want Jesus Christ returns for the second coming I believe and hope the angels will destroy the casinos first. sorry about the run-on sentences guys I had to use voice recognition for this long post
Thanks man!! I'm 33 make $90k and have no kids and $500 mortgage and cars paid off not many bills yet always broke. I needed to hear your story!!!

You know you've got a problem when you enjoy losing. Damn, I hear you brother. It's complicated, but the emotional high is still there, win or lose.
Brave comments....writing on this for several clients. Thanks JG

I relate so much to your story, you are amazing and strong.
It's all about breaking that triangle of time, money and opportunity, getting them barriers in place.
Always here for a chat buddy, keep going a day at a time. You are brilliant.
Kind Regards Andy from Derby, England.
Congrats on your recovery mate!!
Love your video..I have lost 60 thousand over past 10 years I lost it all bro and I just decided to walk away yesterday. I bet every sport tennis soccer NFL NBA MLB I went on a 0-10 streak two days ago and hit rock bottom. But I cannot stop thinking about all the money that I have lost it just makes me feel like shit.

Agree totally with this mentality, a great way to eradicate this seemingly never-ending cycle of insanity I found you must swap this obsession for a healthier one

Like my Grandpa always told me....
Vegas wasn't built on winners.
Think i'll try to stop. I keep losing but can't stop playing.
Me too
I salute u keep urself a goodman as ur family name!
Amen! We gotta fight the good fight against the evils of the casino!
Just gambled my holiday hotel money for next month, feel awful.Used to bet football/soccer on a saturday and enjoy it but that spread to betting on everything, last night it was ice hockey.I've developed a cold already due to the stress and heave a heart condition triggered by stress.Madness and i'm stopping right now.
Jim West this is what i am feeling right now.. I think i might have triggered a heart problem.. Stress, anxiety HBP. Gambling suck.
Thanks for your share relate to it :)
It always starts out as entertainment and minor loses.
After ten grand went I stopped and accepted the loss and just stayed away from all forms of gambling.
I guess I was addicted briefly and pulled out of the trance early on.
It was difficult staying away but I just didn't want to go back to my old ways and that sinking feeling each time I was down 5 hundred leaving the place.
The wins were few and far between and always just enough to keep me going back looking for
more.
I found this video at the time I really really needed to
thank you so much !! I know s0 many people ... he uses them & rips them off & even STEALING FROM HER JOB / WITH FBI CAME TO GET HER
I got a gambling problem it not nice feeling that you let everyone down.
Thank you sir..
Jon I need help, I've spent so much on scratchers . It's breaking me. The stress is to much it's so sad
well said that gambling is your besy friend amd at the same time your worse enemy its a bit like a fake friend who stabs you sooner or later with a knife if know what i mean anyway im happy that you were able to quit gambling my dad has also a gambling problem but he doesn't admit it and i would also probably if i would live nearby a casino because im realllllly impulsive it even get me almost killed a few times
Exactly it was my fake friend and the devil. I am so sorry. I hated what my kids went through. I almost lost them and my family..
Jon I'm reaching out to you...I just watch the video is there anyway for you to email me at lisalcooljay3166@gmail.com thx
Casinos are the ways of easy business and making easy money too. They have no items or products to sell and make profits, people just come in do gambling until became addicted to it. People dont realize that casinos operation is also because of their money. There will be no casinos if people are not coming to play or hook to it
I am lossing $3000
Awesome! Glad to hear you overcame it! Hang in there!
Thank you Louie. I really appreciate it.
What was the best way to cope out the urgency ... to wanting to sports bet man ... I hate the urge to sports bet trying to stay in gym to have a healthier new approach addiction
I'm also totally comfortable with struggling all the time financially, that pressure of getting by.Had a big loan last year and it drove me mad sitting on that money, wasn't used to it.I know part is not feeling i deserve to be comfortable and that i must struggle to be some type of martyr but not anymore.Gambling i'm giving you the big boot.
Gambling is a mugs game and yes I'm a mug! I will stop this time I owe it to my beautiful family
Very true
well done my friend...never go back
Man I lost $750,000 I swear I put my family through hell on black jack and slots till I said that’s it I did a self band on all sorounding casinos they say you cannot put you can they will do it I have been clean from that for 9 years if you cannot stop ask for a self band you will be glad you did save yourself and your family
congratulations for quitting...stay there...Strong
worst thing that ever happened was winning 9,000 on a roulette table
Joe Rom because it will drive and pull you in, hook you in to gamble more.
I won 6500 and felt the same way. when I realized that I had a addiction to gamble because you think you could win it again and I felt for the traps of the casino but I had enough.
I hope you've overcome the addiction =)
Jon
You made the right choice my friend-I am not lying here but I have lost over $400,000
gambling throughout my life-take it from me not only is it a vicious disease but I am
100 % certain that the majority of these professional sporting events are all fixed-so
not only are you fighting the addiction but it is a rigged game-trust me you won't
beat these fuckers. It may be too late for me but as the saying goes-"learn from other
people's mistakes" like mine and steer clear of gambling.
It will not only ruin your life but more importantly the family and friends that love you.
All the best.

Russel I've been looking for help too..lost 800 yesterday...pulled out more to try and win it back...1200 gone...now I can't even eat lunch for the week..
Been with my husband 4 years and I’m there with my husband. I’m due in 4 weeks with our son and we have a 3 year old. Yesterday he begged and begged me to take the rest of his whole paycheque to try “winning” I told him no and I told him he wins and he can divorce me since he’s been talking so much about it in the past when I try to say no to him and I give in because I don’t want to divorce but I have to protect my family and my non-negotiable is going without (no money for food and necessities) I don’t know how to go about this ultimatum. It breaks my heart. I feel like if we divorce he will end up on the street and spiral out of control. And he’s such an amazing father
