Sports Betting Addiction

Hello everyone who is facing the same problem, to be honest I completely ruined my life several months ago. Since then I stopped gambling at all, found low paid job and living a great life now, but. But I played too deep so I owe a bank sth around 7k$, I know that is my own fault, but I'm just a student in a third world country, this debt is actually killing me, all I want it close it up and live a happy life. In my city average income is about 250 usd, so I simply cannot pay all this liabilities back, this loan is killing me, I'm asking for help, I already don't bet almost for half a year. I found it hard to quit at the beginning, but now I'm just kinda reborn, it feels great not be addicted, once again. My dream is to pay off the debt, if any of you can help me, that would be great, you would save me from suffering and helping me start a completely new chapter in my life. Ty for reading, God bless you.

 

The only help you need is to go through this pain alone. Once you get out of debt- and you will - then you will appreciate the road you traveled.

I think it is safe to say everyone here has been through something similar to you (gambling way over our heads) at some point in our lives as well.

Take care.

 

You are right, i believe this letter I've wrote to myself, since I'm the one who have put myself in such a situation, then I'm the one who has to solve it. It's much easier to carry this weight I have put on my shoulders after saying my problem out loud.
P.S.: if any of you guys have similar situation just quit gambling, the only way you beat bookies (casino or whatever) is to quit. I know it's sound like I lost a "battle" against them, but believe me your life will slowly become better after you do so. Quit the addiction, stop feeding them.

 

Hey! just admired that u shared the problem with all the people who are here on this forum. You are very strong and self motivated person if you found strength to quit gambling and keep it up! I'm sure you will deal with your loan soon. Good luck bro

 

Gambling is just a very expensive form of entertainment. If you can understand that than you may be able to quit easier by finding other form of entertainment - Find another hobby. Best of luck to everyone.
