    Default Gambling destroyed my life

    Let the truth be known. Go ahead and rip me, judge me, I don't care anymore.

    Truth is I probably deserve it.

    I recently had a nice run where I won about 4 grand.

    Gave most of it back, spent some and am left with nothing to write home about it yet again.

    Yet thats not what Im even talking about.

    Gambling has destroyed my relationships with family, friends, it destroyed everything I have and ate through everything I had like termites.

    The sad thing is I still believe that if I stay disciplined I can win, and that keeps me possibly going. The life I am currently living is agony and misery masked in a constant state of action and denial.

    This is too deep and too disturbing to tell anyone in person of course as noone could possibly ever understand us and what we go through except unless of course you are one of us.

    Gambling is evil. Noone wins in the long run. You have a nice run and you will end up giving it all back. Its inevitable.

    We all have a disease people. We were all born with a goddamn disease.

    Damn Warrior, I feel for you buddy. You need to make this a hobby, not a way to make a living.. I love gambling, because I don't bet any amount that will affect my life adversely in anyway. If this is the way you are really feeling, don't ever gamble again. And if you do, just do it for fun- a few bucks here and there. Sorry that you're hurting, buddy.

    I hope you can turn things around for yourself. Maybe try to take some time off from the forum and go to the gym more or find a new hobby. Hope things start to get better for you! Keep your head up buddy.

    You have an addictive personality and you should not be gambling.

    i feel ya but i also know that it is best to know WHAT you are doing instead of WHY you are doing it...never let things get out of control and if it is fun, then let it remain fun instead of taking over your life. GLuck to ya and hope things work out for the best...thx for the honesty

    If it does some good in some way then I can take a little comfort in that I guess. The rollercoaster I have lived in the last few months is unbearable and I wouldn't wish it on a fukking serial killing rapist.

    Go back to school if you haven't gotten your degree while also maintaining a full time job. This will give you something to work at and brighten your future and your family will most likely be proud of you and start to respect you again.

    Gambling didn't destroy your life. Being irresponsible did.

    If it wasn't gambling it would have been drugs or alcohol that got you.

    Just went to a card room and dropped 900 bucks playing pai gow in about an hour. Was betting 100 and 200 per hand.

    Went there because I won 400 there last night, lost my first couple wagers today so went there to chase
