Hi everyone. Im very upset while im writing this lines. Everything begun 2 months ago. I was started to playing gamble. Everything was okey before 3 days ago. But i lost my everything in 3 days and i got ambitious. I borrowed money from banks and i lost all of them. I don't think I could pay the money. Im thinking the suicide. I need your ideas.

Best Regards,
Heibo

Just another case of Darwin at work...

yeah you can go sparta and not go athens

but the truth is both ways are wrong.

the biggest issue how to separate people and get rid of the bad seeds correctly.

basically we as humans have been pretty bad at doing this.

very likely we will continue to be this way for the near future and middle future and far future.

it is likely hard wired in us to not be able to sort the troubled ones out and help or get rid of them.

ie Charley Manson did not need to spend decades in a prison a ten cent bullet could have saved us some money.

I find him to be a good example of failing to rid ourselves of anchors or rocks 🪨 so to speak.

As for the op I can tell him the last bet I made was in July of 1990 the last illegal drug I took was in Jan of 1991 and the last tobacco I used was on Feb 29th 1996.

And the only person I have been with intimately since 1985 is my wife.

And it has been a very good time for me far better then my partying and gambling years from 1972 to early 1985.

All because i got Athens treatment for my fucked up behavior.

I know lots of people treated “easy” with compassion and their failure rate was over 50%

Personally I would of failed with hard treatment. But I can tell you my bro-in-law got easy treatment much like me and is a spectacular failure. He will continue to be a mess as he has past the point of no return.

He gave himself dementia due to terrible diet and will not recover.
