I appreciate you sharing your story. I’m glad you figured it out before it got out of hand. Enjoy life for what it is. It’s hard to see sometimes but once you can get through a certain period of time without gambling and acknowledge it is going to be a big step. That means give yourself credit when you hit weeks and months without making any type of wager. You got this!

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I know it’s not easy to deal with the stresses and the depression that comes along with this addiction. Focus on trying to make it a few days without considering gambling to be an option in getting yourself out of debt. Stop the gambling and the debt total will stop. Hardest part is finding supplemental ways to make more income to cover the losses, but that’s 100x better than the route we have been on. Stick with yourself and we will be here for you. 🤝

Thank you,I have stop gambling,my problem is hoe to get out of debt.

There is no easy way out. I’ve tried every single way possible. You have to grind. If gambling is completely out of your mind, try to learn new skills. Get a license for something, Insurance or real estate or something that doesn’t require a year. Try to create social media, get a delivery job, buy and sell items on eBay etc. Don’t be idle. Get some skills under your belt and a plan of action. Trying is all you can do. That’s a great start 🤝

I’m sorry I didn’t see this message earlier but I hope you are doing better and feeling better. Just don’t lose any hope. There is some light at some point

Thats a pretty big moment. You just have to keep reminding yourself of that. Once you give yourself a chance to just deal with all the debts and the uncomfortable conversations you can actually try to stay away. Permanently. Otherwise that hamster wheel will feel never ending and you can't enjoy those little things in life. We are here for you though. I still fight this everyday. Thank you for your support 🤝

Keep believing in yourself 🤝

You got this! Just keep working at it. Your mind and body will eventually agree on the same thing and want to exit this life. It isn’t easy so don’t be down on yourself. Just keep fighting and thinking about what life will be like if this wasn’t a part of your routine. Thank you for listening and being a part of the solution 🤝

I appreciate that! Each time I post it becomes a little easier to talk about it..verbalizing the pure insanity that I out myself through is not easy. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to listen to my story 🤝

@@GamblersPodcast I hope each time you talk about it and release it you're reminded on the importance/purpose of what you're doing has. That's the point! And I think it's definitely possible that soon the views and subscribers rack up because you'll reach and help a community that mostly feels very alone! :)

I appreciate the love! Thank you 🤝

Being banned from casinos is a road block but you know how it is…there are so many avenues to get around it..it takes more willpower now to not go find the next alternative solution. 🤝

Zero gambling. There is no in between for us. That’s the problem. And that’s fine, it isn’t something that is good for who we are and need to be. There are plenty of other things in life we can hopefully find consistency in and some joy with. 🤝 Thank you for sharing

I know it’s tough and the commitment to stop has to come from you wanting to. Try to take it 1 day at a time and remind yourself that this isn’t the feeling you want to have. This isn’t the way you want to use your time and energy anymore. If you feel that cycle dragging you down, make today your day. And give yourself credit for each day and week that goes by. It’s not easy. And it won’t completely disappear. But you got this! 🤝

Same here, God bless you , We are a human.😢😢😢

I really appreciate this message and I am sorry didn’t respond sooner. I think at least trying with the self exclusion is key. No matter what life will try to throw some type of gamble at us even if it’s not in the form of a bet or wager somewhere. Our brains are wired to be drawn to it. I had to literally move out of Las Vegas to stop the bleeding out of money. There was no other way. I hope your husband and you both head on the right path together because it’s a lot easier than being solo through this process. Thank you again for being here 🙌

I really appreciate it. I plan on making a couple more this weekend. Thank you for spending the time listening. Hopefully it helped a little bit so you know we aren’t in this alone.

I appreciate the kind words 🤝

Thank you brother 🙏

Thank you so much. I appreciate the kind words. I lived there for nearly 3 years and I absolutely had to get out. It’s not easy facing it with it all around you and being so accessible. Especially because it’s so easy to get your hands on loans out there. So I feel you. Keep trying. Eventually your mind and body will wanted to force a change. 🤝

I really appreciate the love 🤝 Thank you

I don’t think I’m quite at peace with my losses as much as I got fed up taking more losses. So there was a point of me realizing that digging myself a new hole is just going to make current problems worse when I already was dealing with old debt that’s been hanging over my head. I had to convince myself that each debt has its own path to figure out whether that’s a person, government or agency I owe money to. So I just have to play each path individually and work it for what it is. I sat there and realized once again that no matter how much I win right now, it won’t solve my actual problems and just continue me down the same spiraled out path. There’s no way to be in that zone gambling and have any focus on life, making money or doing anything to move myself forward from the place I am currently at. Sometimes you just become sick and mentally exhausted of the never ending cycle.

Thank you for sharing your stories and offering new perspectives on how to navigate through this difficult time. Just know that I can relate to what you’re going through. While the specifics of each loss may differ, the emotional damage is the same I’ve found myself in a similar situation-trapped in this cycle. I’ve stopped gambling and am now working hard to pay off all my debts. Fortunately, I only owe money to banks and not to individuals. However, every time I make a payment, I can’t help but think about what I could have done with that money: helping family, friends, or those in need, or even treating myself. These thoughts never crossed my mind while I was gambling, but now they weigh heavily on me. I hear people holding off on purchases because they’re $200 too expensive, and I remember how easily I spent that amount just to warm up with a single spin on roulette. It’s overwhelming. I truly hope to find inner peace and the strength to move forward.

Really appreciate that ❤️ I plan on getting a couple uploaded this weekend. The challenge is always verbalizing the thoughts I have because talking about how I feel isn’t as easy as I thought it would be. But these comments help so much 🤝

I’m glad you are feeling better. As each day and then week goes by you will hopefully get even more clarity. That clarity and new energy can turn into new ideas and routes to make more money, the right way. No matter what, we can’t go backwards and somehow as I’ve stopped it’s allowed for me to be more accepting of that. And stopping while having money is HUGE. So saving like you are doing is a big step. A few rupees or dollars in your pocket feels a lot better than worrying about how you might pay for your next bill. Keep pushing yourself but make sure to give yourself a lot of credit. It takes courage to stop. More courage than most people can understand. So I am here for you. Keep your focus 1 day at a time. We got this! 🤝

@@GamblersPodcast thanks man, I am looking forward to your suggestions, I know it hurts a lot looking back and 20 years is a lot of time , I can understand what u were going through. Hope I will get a lot of learnings from you as I am just 24 years old and I don't want to waste a second of my time in that deep rooted gambling evil and I promise I won't let that happen to me. When I look at my pictures 2 years back I regret everything as it has destroyed me mentally, physically, relationship wise and a lot more 💔 Just keep giving us these insights and help me to overcome this gambling addiction

Very inspiring recovery story. I listened to all of your podcasts and love them. My gambling addiction story is similar to you. I was a sports bettors and sports are a lie!
