Why I Cannot Stop Betting ? by JOLLOFman(m): 12:15am On Jun 11, 2022 |
Please help! I'm loosing myself! An addiction for gambling is one of the most destructive! It's well deviced to reduce one's life to crumbs! I am well aware of this yet I could not discontinue. Why? I've got a fighting spirit(strong head) coupled with an analytical mind that makes me understand why I lost a ticket! That's why. In addition,the near hits, the losses, and the little winnings( the back and forth) and the ecstasy of it all has kept me hoping for a very heavy rainfall in the Sahara for more than a decade. For 12years, gambling has done the worst it could do to a talented young person like me. This I beleive, is quite revealing considering the reach of this platform. I really want to put out a public statement and declare my resignation from this dragon head burning down every meaningful relationship i had and replacing them with ilks in the"industry" But I cannot stop betting! I'm stuck! Trapped in the middle a dragon's canine! How can I set myself loose? the dragon has in its belly my most valued treasures: my education, my career and my Peace! But who can survive this? Maybe one day, the dragon would choke! And I'll recover my losses! Have I lost my head?[right][/right][/b][b] |

This is an AGE-OLD VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM! Well,you have taken a really big step in realising and stating that you have a betting addiction ![]() Asking the question here is a very important start that proves you are ready to do battle to win your addiction. Congratulations! Deciding to stop doing something you enjoy can be challenging, there may be times when it feels impossible but remember lots of people have quit betting. NEVER CHASE LOSSES :- Never ever try to cover up previous loss by betting again and again hoping to recover the previous loss. Betting in this way will make things even worse if you loose consecutively. You don't need to do that because as long as you keep this mindset of chasing the shadows of your losses through the same scheme that has caused your depression, then there will be no light at the end of the tunnel. It will always be a vicious circle of more losses, regrets and frustration. FIND OUT : Find out what triggers the habit and get rid of friends that cause you to bet. Only you know what these triggers are. [/quote] 2 Likes |

[quote author=bastardmod post=113685767] So sorry to read this. Please see someone, a professional Thanks bro, but what kind of professional can I see? My debt profile is humongous and I keep dropping my hard earned money in the hope of offsetting them at once. I have realised the harder one tries, the deeper one's struggles. I am determined to end it. |

That it's possible is motivating. I keep my heads up. In my case thou, I have creditors on my door step threatening fire and brimstone. I had always promised and failed for obvious reasons. Now, it's time to painstakingly take back my peace. It's definitely going to cost me a year. Lord help me! money121: |

Thanks a lot. I basically have my mind made up already. I have been partly off it for 3months now. Crazy but I stake with little amounts like 100naira or max 500naira per ticket in order to somehow win big and offset ALL of my debt cos that's my major desperation right now. I don't dream of recovering my personal wealth anymore. My debt profile is a little above 180thousand naira. These are monies from friends and families, loan apps. I live alone and earn 25thousand naira as a teacher. I seek forgiveness and help but none could I find. onez: |

If you are in the practice, it's better to quit before it becomes addictive and seem too late. I must rise bro! I must. I'm physically, emotionally, financially and educationally defeated! No lie. This is the real " One blow, seven die!"[quote author=Oladimeji122 post=113688825][/quote] |

JOLLOFman: And the moment you win enough to offset your debts, what do you think will come into your brain immediately? That you can recover your loss as well. Why not try to get around your debts through other means? You can beg the people you owe and see if they have the capacity to write it off by telling them your problem and your resolution. Some people are owing loan apps too but they are not into gambling, so they won't repay the loans through gambling. Why not think and act like them. All these staking N100 today, N500 tomorrow shows that you haven't quit. The day you realise that you can only sink deeper than the level you are right now is day you are going to quit. |

OP pay attention to the screenshot below. Combine it with this: when the craving comes, tell yourself you'll start gambling in 5 minutes. You can fight anything for 5 minutes. You can stop anything for 5 minutes.. And you can do anything for 5 minutes. That's the secret to life: 5 minutes!
