Struggling with Gambling Addiction

Obverse Alchemy
1 min readFeb 21, 2024
  • It has been cyclical over the years, I started betting in 2014.
  • I quit totally in 2018 Dec because of losses
  • Relapsed 2020 then quit till 2021 then I have been on a cycle of quitting and relapse
  • This is the worst it has gotten, I am losing money but I haven’t stopped.
  • I am addicted. I gamble till I lose all monies then relax till the next pay check or withdrawal from savings…I am down to my last 60 USD
  • I am a junkie at this point.
  • I hide this habit from my girlfriend, she hates it.
  • Only my therapist knows — but he noticed that I could not be helped because I was still not willing to quit when I went to see him.
  • I don’t know how this will end…or how bad. It is bad already.

I WISH I COULD SINCERELY BE TIRED OF IT AND QUIT TOTALLY
