Hi Fairzz….
I read all your story & I can relate to you, I’m a bit older than yourself and decided not to give up on gambling, lasting to gamble my head off for more years than you’ve lived.
A couple off pointers for you is, you/me have a dangerous addiction, it does not matter how much we win, the old saying about a room full of money is that a gambler will always ask for a bigger room. As no amounts of winning will be enough, No Amounts.
This is hard to get into your Gambling head, different people have different ways and means to give up gambling.
A few suggestions is… Load up YouTube on a quiet night of clear thinking and listen to

It will help you understand your illness, and help you prepare for the future.
1. Do an act of kindness everyday for someone who does not know about it.

4. Make amends to folk
Helping you recover.5. Be nice to yourself & remember all gamblers have a selfishness about them, so treat yourself more often.
6. Find someone to confide in, who you can goto on days your feeling bad or isolated.

10. Find a routine that your comfortable with, to help in your day to day life, try not to get Down about not being able to gamble & see it as freeing your time up for more happy-go-lucky times.
And most importantly, do not feel bad about being an addict, as I’m sure your a great dude, and learn to love yourself again. ♥

No worries at all Fairzz ??
If you need to talk, I’m here. ?
Excellent post stevie!!! Great video also one phrase that stuck has to of been ‘you don’t have a gambling problem , you have a living problem where gambling is the solution’. Worth a watch addict or not
Love that line, for me it’s not just about the damn FOBT wheel, it’s about being out and about among people.
and If I may say, you suffered delusions thinking you could forecast the wheel, the drop of the slots, it’s how they get us because we all know it is due
In addiction to blocking gambling transaction and casinos get that GAMBAN on as online slotting is to my mind poisonous for addicts
You watch streamers posting 3 minute mega wins to promote sign ups and assume it will happen to you, so you chase it, before you know it you are sleeping in your car as the Landlord has changed the locks
You have your whole life ahead af you, live it, don’t spunk it down the tubes to feed greedy casinos. If you have to, go out and buy yourself a new game or present when you get laid, look at it and think, thats 200 hours of entertainment or 20 spins in a slot machine in 5 minutes, or to put it into perspective 3 hours of hard work equates to 10 spins on rainbow riches
I really hope it works out for you
