Gambling leads to bankruptcy

[gorillahung]

I have a severe gambling problem. It just started a year ago. I hit rock bottom fast. I lost somewhere between $30K-$40K playing video slot. I'm having to file for bankruptcy on Monday to protect my house and car. The damned thing is I still want to gamble! I have my paychecks deposited into my parent's bank account to make sure my necessities are paid but I've racked up so much credit card debt that it's hopeless without taking bankruptcy. First I had an opiate problem which I eventually kicked. I've been clean over 3 years. Now I have to kick this gambling problem.

Fuck dude, you need to get help! I never really had a gambling problem in my life but as I'm sure, it's like a disease...are you close with any family? Parents? You should talk to them..or any close friends...I hope you can fix your problem bro

Gambling is certainly a recognized addiction along the lines of pornography. I think these are called "Process Addictions" since you arent ingesting any drug or chemical to get your high. But the net result is the same as far as dopamine release in the brain. Dont underestimate it just because you arent putting a needle in your arm. Its very dangerous addiction and warrants professional help.

I can feel the dopamine rush through my brain when I'm playing those games. It's overwhelming. I'm seeing a couple of counselors and I'm going to try gamblers anonymous

i have a soft spot in my heart for gamblers...over the last few years since gambling became legal in pa and since the seneca nation built a large casino just across the pa border in new york, i've worked on numerous employee theft engagements that were all over $200,000 each involving otherwise upstanding citizens who got themselves a gambling jones and paid for it with their employer's money...and i make a lot of money doing the financial forensic investigations...gambling is going to pay for my kids braces and their college educations...hell...if they build enough casino's in pa, gambling could make me rich!!

























go get yourself some professional help...i have plenty of other ways to make a living...gambling sucks...the only thing it produces is broken lives...i'd rather be robbed at gunpoint and then pistol-whipped, than give my money away to a bookie or a blackjack dealer...fuck that shit. LOL...i don't even like gambling my karma, and that shit ain't even real!

I've also attempted suicide twice. I learned the hard way that 45mg of xanax is not a fatal dose for a 190 lb. man. It just makes you feel like hell for a few days.

Man, maybe that dicksucking fetish you have will cure all of this...I'm serious..you need to go suck a dick maybe?
