Well i have struggled with gambling for about 12 years now.dont even know where to start or what to say....
Started out with slots 12 years ago, it got worse and worse and worse.
used to be couple hundred off paychecks, then whole paychecks
then borrowing money to gamble
likely down somewhere around 35 to 40,000 dollars since then.
I won a couple times , 1000 here, couple hundred there, maybe another 1000 over there
put it all back and then more. you know how it goes the win sucks you in
then won 10,000 last year online slots...paid some debt off and oh boy that suckered me in big time
well now i got a visa maxed out at 10,000 and a mastercard at 6000 with 20% interest. lol
all on gambling, never mind the money off pay cheques ..
even when i win i never cash out and stop, even when big amounts like 5000 or 8000
i just up my bets and lose it all
like i always do... greedy want more i guess,
Not even all that crazy about money, like when i have it, i gamble
when i dont have it i still gamble ... what the heck??
sometimes i think i am addicted to the losing not the winning...
i have a kid coming in one month. i have been laid off work,
i have ruined my life and hurt those around me and now my unborn child and my wife will have to
suffer too. I AM THE BIGGEST LOSER.. there is no way back...
i feel suicide the best, although i dont even have life insurance.
I always say i will stop... never do..
i dont get it.,. i dont understand it.. i want to stop... i really do... why cant i
im not stupid, i used to shake my head at people like me wasting there money.,
WHY CANT I STOP. I am so weak of a person i guess..
I HAVE TO JUST STOP no one will or can make me stop but me... I understand this.. but i just cant freaking stop!!! it just dont make sense..
Gambling: Why Can’t I Stop?
One reason why gambling is hard to stop is because it affects your brain.
Gambling is like pressing the gas pedal of your car. Your brain’s reward hub ‘fires up’ as you think about a win.
Your brain also has a brake system. The ‘top-down control network’ is used when you want to stop gambling.
When your gas and brake pedals work, it’s easier to control your gambling.
For some people though, gambling no longer ‘fires up’ the brain with excitement. So, to feel pleasure, they ‘floor it’ by gambling more.
Meanwhile, their brakes may be faulty. They might not notice it’s time to stop gambling. Or, if they try to stop, the brakes may not work.
