There's a story that my mom told me, it's about my uncle who once became a gambling addict that there comes a time where he sold most of their things in their house just to find money to gamble. The worst thing that my uncle did is to pledge their house just to satisfy his gambling pleasures.
sad but true that someone not only selling all his living just to gamble because some sells their soul for gambling and end up suicidal because of this
I know it's not easy to overcome this situation especially when you're already in your point that you want to get back everything that you have lost. You keep on gambling thinking you can earn everything back. Actually, we're already lucky enough if we continuously win the game but even our luck has its own limitations. Without noticing it, our wins are slowly turning into losses.
this is why many gamblers sucks their life because of chasing losses,instead of stopping for a while and try next time?what they do is bet and bet more ,even borrowing money from others or taking a loan just to catch the losses and in the end?going home empty handed and drown from loans.
I also know that some of us here will just put their attention on different things to avoid too much gambling. But in reality, it's just easy to say but harder to do. There's no easy way if you really got attached to gambling. But in your opinion or personal experiences, how do you overcome your addiction to gambling?
if you will ask for personal experiences?then for sure you will get small amount of reply because only FEW HERE will accept that they are addicted or former addict.
