How To Stop Gambling | Stop Gambling Addiction | My Story

Welcome to my How To Stop Gambling blog. First of all i wouldn't like to reveal who am and where am from but i would like to try to help people worldwide to stop gambling. As many of you know gambling is something that's very addictive. So here I'll tell you my gambling addiction story and how i stopped gambling. It wasn't easy at all ... Everything started when i was 11 years old, I started going to play dog races and horse races in my country none was caring if you're 11 years old or 50 years old, you can gamble whenever you want, your age doesn't really matter. So yeah that's when i started, 7 years later i was able to enter to those electronic casinos, you wont believe, I started playing with $1,50 on roulette. Yeah i started playing black/red but yeah that was just start. I got $300 for my birthday and i didn't really know what to do with the money so i went to electronic casino and played roulette, some old guy told me that it's better to bet on few numbers instead of black/red so yeah i started playing like that. The first night i left with $1500! I was like wow, i'm never gonna need to work, i wont even need to ask my parents for money anymore but few days later i went to the casino again, this time with all money that left, (I spend $500 on watch) so yeah $1000 left. I lost them then I sold my watch, then i was depressed and I said that I'll never again enter in any of those electronic casinos. But yeah i was feeling that I'm really addicted to roulette and slot machines. First time i stole $500 from my dad, lost them, next time i lend $300 from a friend and lost that too. I wasn't able to find $300 for my friend so i was lets say "forced" to tell my parents that I lost money on gambling and that i owe $300 to a friend. I think my dad was going to kill me, he always said never do drugs, never drive drunk, never gamble. I promised my parents that i'll never gamble again. They told me that they wont give me money and that i need to start working or go to college. So yeah I started with Internet Marketing back in 2010 (I was 18 years old) now I'm 22 years old. It was going very good, i was learning very fast and started making online profits, first month i made $25, next month $300 and then $3000 every single month. My parents were amazed from my work, from all the money that i earned .. I started saving money for 2 year and i managed to get an amazing Audi R8 that cost me 90,000 euros. I got that, everyone was amazed ...

Months after i started gambling again, this time my hands were $500-$1000 (EACH HAND). Started losing all my money, all my salary. My parents started asking me where's the money i always said that i'm investing them and that they don't need to worry about that. I started borrowing from people that give you for example $10,000 but every month you need to pay $2000 till you bring them back. That was so crazy, I lost total of $140,000 and i was depressed and didn't know what to do, i was close to suicide. Had to sell my R8, lost almost all of my friends because i was all day in the casino. Everyone was disappointed from me, my parents, my friends, my girl, everyone. My dad was depressed too, he said all the money that you made last years, you got car, got girls, got everything, now you have nothing. I was very depressed, i didn't know what to do so i said that i wont gamble anymore (for 10000th time).

I started working hardcore again, but gambling was in my mind all the time, i went to casino with $100, made $5000, few days later went to another big casino, made $67,000 and i was finally happy again, BUT, week later i went to casino again, lost $67,000 that night, borrowed another $50,000 and lost that too. I was totally lost, all i needed at that moment was gun to suicide didn't know what to do, had no money for taxi to get back (the casino was 250km away from my city). One of the managers managed to get me free ride to my city because i lost a lot of money, didn't know what to do that  day so i borrowed $200 from my sister and went to some local pub and got dead drunk. 

Few days later i borrowed $50,000 more, so in total i owe $100,000 now, lost that in one night, month later the guy called me that I need to pay him for the $100,000 that he borrowed me, i was totally depressed, didn't know what to do.... had to tell my parents again but the problem is that my parents both mom & dad earn only $1000 per month. I told my that and he started crying, crying, crying, drinking, crying, crying, that was end for our family. All that left was our house that we sold to give back that $100,000 + $20,000. We sold our house for $160,000. So yeah... that's whats gambling doing. Its killing you, sometimes slowly sometimes very fast.

So yeah, i didn't have anything to lose now, lost my car, house, friends, parents everything ... One night before i went to sleep my mind was keep saying, "change, change, change, make your parents happy" all night, i wasn't even able to sleep. We were sleeping in small house, we rent it $500 per month. So i didn't sleep all night because of what gambling did to me. I sit on PC and started working again, months later i got back into track, made huge money with working 20 hours per day, started few online businesses and made a lot of money, my parents didn't know about that ... In total I made $300,000 just in 7-8 months (HUGE money). Took $200,000 from my bank and went to my old house, told the owner that i must get the house back and that i'll pay more without any problems, we agreed on $190,000 deal, got it.

The next day we made all documents and all that, told my parents to call me once they get home because i got some news for them. So my mom called me, told me that they are home and that i should get asap because the dinner is ready. I told them that i got our house back, the tears in my mom & dad eyes couldn't stop, that was one of the best moments in my life. I've never seen my parents that happy. It was something amazing ... I can't explain that.

So till today, I haven't gambled yet and i wouldn't like to, its something that's killing you, i'm still young 22, i have friends that lost cars and houses like me but they couldn't get back in track, its almost impossible, so that's why i'm trying to touch you. It's never late to stop, just think what you can do with all that money you gamble? Surprise your parents with vacation, your girlfriend? your friends? Buy some nice clothes, save for car? Save for something? Enjoy your life?
