I've been refusing to admit this to myself for awhile, but today is the day I accept to myself that I have a gambling addiction. I've been chasing this high since last year after winning big & it's non-stop chasing that feeling again.

good on you for taking that first step. it's so rough, after a big win you feel like it's just a matter of time before winning big again and in the process you lose so much
Yeah my mind got clouded with the back to back big wins last year and I've already put it all back and more. You've known me forever and how much i love and visit Vegas so thank you for the support!
You have already come to terms and see that you need change. That is a big step forward and I believe you will be overcome this eventually~! 💛
Maybe distract yourself by considering placing the money aside when tempted to play jackpot 🎰, to save for something fancy to treat yourself as a reward?
Thanks Yaps! I have put up some barriers in place now where my money isn't easy to access anymore. That was one of the biggest problems not having self control to pull out that money. And a little break from it all should hopefully help:3
I keep making excuses here & there to continue playing, but I need to put a stop to it now. I'm glad that win could offset some of the losses, but seeing how I've progressed with upping my bets and progressively being reckless I had to recognize this growing problem and put an end to it.
I rarely put this kind of stuff out there, but wanted to show people how easy it is to get addicted to anything and hope it helps some people recognize their problems as well.
Thank you! I just feel bad spending this money when it could go towards something better, but breaking that addiction has been hard and I have been trying since the new year but have failed.
You just took the first step to taking care of yourself and that is very brave and admirable! You got this, and remember that you will have a lot of people supporting you including me. Rooting for your success :3
