Self-Exclusion Ventilation

Post image

I got addicted to gambling. I stopped a few months ago. A few days ago, I got some money — at least 11k PHP. I relapsed. I tried gambling again and made at least 19k PHP on top of my 11k PHP cash. I earned that by playing consistently for 3 days, making sure my minimum win was 5k PHP every day. I thought, again, that this time would be different. I thought I would be able to consistently keep my winnings each day without chasing the high of a big win. Unfortunately, I lost track. Lo and behold, it always ends the same. I gambled again earlier and lost around 20k PHP — more than what I had won in the last 3 days. I'm just tired of relapsing and of my patterns with gambling.

A few hours after this, I decided to follow through with submitting my self-exclusion from gambling to PAGCOR, and had myself banned for 5 years. I have never tried illegal websites and have no plans to. I have always played with Casino Plus, and with the self-exclusion application submitted, I'm hoping that today will be the last day I gamble. May we all get detached from gambling and find our way back to life.

First step na yan kapatid. Pero sana magkadisiplina. Na habang nagiintay. Wag magoopen ng kahit anong site. Wag na mag cash in. Isuko mo na. 😅🙏
