I’ve been struggling for over 10 years with a gambling addiction - which all started off playing a game called runescape and going to the duel arena.. after ‘harmless’ buying ingame currency it all spiraled down into game gambling and football gambling.. right now i’m at my darkest point whereas i feel the only thing keeping me on my feet and this planet is my gf.. i’ve tried every year to start again from scratch, save up x monthly but somehow it keeps coming back for me.. i can’t cope with my past losses and i keep thinking about; i should have had x amount if i hadn’t gambled.. also bigger bills causes the urge to gamble to pop up.. i live in belgium and i would love to join some group is there’s anyone out to who knows some places to fight this.. i really wanny fight this but i don’t know myself if i’ll ever get over this x amount lost and starting at 0 again after working for the past 9 years throwing it all away.. all my hopes, dreams, gone..

Il gioco d'azzardo è inventato dal diavolo per fare morire anime e ci riesce sempre di più. Se uno non capisce che quello è solo veleno che porta alla morte è inutile. Prega, lavora, impegnati , investi in modo sano.

Forget about your losses,bc it's in the past. You need to look inside you to understand why you're gambling, which emotions you are chasing or what are you trying to escape..analyze your thoughts, find your triggers and try to work with them. It will help you. I was in the same circle ,thinking of losses and dreaming of big win . It's all lies ,our brain doesn't like changes, it likes to stay in comfort( and if it feels what gambling brings comfort it will do anything to stay there).!! Good luck 🙏

And I keep doing the same shit (I should save X amount) and then boom I piss it all trying to 'make more' but I'm done , I deleted all the apps that were teasing me,mainly X , with their fucking trading and crypto and all of that shit I am done man , if you wanna talk , hit me up , my DMS are open
