Even if you've got all the money in the world, gambling can take the last penny out of you. The hunger of the gambling industry will never die. The day you forfeit the thought of winning you're in the right direction to give up. I was an addict of 15 years but my last bet was a win. That was 6 years ago. I haven't gambled a single penny since.

[@yaakovbelfer1698]

And yet you can still have addiction issues ongoing even if you are making money gambling . The making money doesn't stop the isolation , the lying the anxiousness etc . May make it seem like things are ok but it's still ni way to live a life

Part of life is weeding out the things that are dragging you down or compromising your happiness. I liked this video and I hope you win this fight as gambling tends to be your kryptonite. But don't feel alone! My battle was with cigarettes. I started at age 16 and by the time I was 31 I had quit and restarted smoking 5 or 6 times. I disliked how I was unable to save money and often felt winded from walking up the stairs. One day I decided that enough was enough. I quit soon thereafter. I've been 13 years without a butt and run regularly.

hey brother, i was once in a situation like yours.. i found the best way to overcome gambling is reading the bible and praying everyday and memorising some scripture. i used to gamble my pay every week and tell the mrs that some payment came out of my account and used to lie to her every week. it was a tough time so we ended up losing everything due to gambling. now by the grace of God we are fine and I've stopped gambling well not really but I've chosen a few games that take abit of skill to play like poker. and always take what your gonna lose and never your whole bankroll. God bless bro

Oh man !! I was loving what u were saying until the last cpl lines !!! If though u truly r Abe to stay in control as you say playing games of "skill" than that great .

And does it actually help you in whatever you trying to achieve in life? Coz if you're gambling for the fun of it then losing is what will always happen.. the devil likes to lure you in give you some hope with a little win big win here and there only to keep you in the loop then only to lose it all and laugh at you in the end while you try and recover.. dont fall for it bro.. if what you playing requires abit of skill or mathematical advantage then yeah go for it but if its playing pokies or playing lottery then give it up bro.. my mrs holds all funds and she only gives me my buyins for poker and a few dollars for a drink or feed. That stops me from putting any funds into anything else.. God bless

Know you have passed the selfish gene to your children and please help them avoid your pain. Thanks Had half of my life savings used by a gambling, lying partner. Still bitter

Don't really think that's the best way about addressing matters but I understand and feel for your situation . People in the twelve step program are some of the best people on earth . They've had to work on themselves to be a better person which people don't necessarily do throughout their lives if they aren't forced to. As a result you have some of the most loyal honest trusting people who are in recovery . However yes addiction is awful and can tear apart families if left untreated. On the flip side if dealt with successfully than it provides the chance to have family love, understanding, compassion etc more than a regular family otherwise would. Anyways hopefuly you have moved on and wish you all the best
