News of Gambling Addiction Forum

I'm young college kid who got lost in the gambling word since I was underaged. It all got out of control this year and now I have no way out.

School starting again in a month, will have to quit my work and have no way of paying 15000€ worth of payday loans. Why do they give loans so easily just to ruin life of "smart" young kids. I had good future and good financial ...

In this past month alone I have lost 5k.

My heart really hurts. I keep borrowing from people I love to fund my gambling in order to chase money to try and avoid an eviction. I've been paying rent at this place for almost two years and I am now at the end of my lease. I am behind a few months and really want to pay them and the remaining months so I do not ruin my renter's history.

My heart hurts because ...

I love gambling. I work surveillance cameras at a casino and see people lose thousands of dollars everyday but I still gamble. Last night I went to the casino and I had just got paid from work. I took out $200.. lost it.. I was very upset with myself, but then I took out $300 more. I was on my last $50 and managed to win upwards of $1000 making me $500 dollars ahead. I ...

So I joined a couple sites. Slots online is what I am addicted to but after so many wins I went back for more...Why? I have no idea it feels like there's a demon inside me and I can't control it. That or I got too greedy. I still have quite a bit of my winnings in my bank account so that's fine. I am not touching that. So I hope not. But I did ...

If you've been following my posts, you know that I pretty much lost everything. All my credit cards have been closed, I have lost bank accounts, I have maxed out on all my loans, I have borrowed from friends and family, and I have lost it all.

Being a gambling addict, of course I took one more shot at it. I got my hands on some money any way I could and took it to ...

Yesterday, I gambled after 60 days of successfully staying away from casinos. I struggled for most of those 60 days and the urge last night was huge. Driving there, I knew I had the option of turning back, but I didn't. I convinced myself that this itch needed to be scratched. No surprise that it was not enjoyable at all. One of the worst nights I've had in a casino in fact. I went with ...
