SRSZTo people who had/have gambling addiction

So people who had/have a gambling addiction. When did you do it? Did you profit? How did you quit? Are you planning to quit?

Want to joke around? Check prefix

never ever think that you will be in profit. maybe in long term you lose 100k and in your whole life you earned 110k. you are not in profit trust me. in whole life you cant get that money at once. somewhere 200-400-1000$ is nothing when you are addicted. i seen many people into this. its like 20% who quit. most of them think they can make big $$$$$ its a big lie. such persons look like heavy drug users. same world

My gambling addiction used to be pretty bad, especially when csgo skin gambling was crazy hot (before the trade ban) now i was quite young but i did everything and anything i could to get my hands on money, i would sell alot of my items ingames or sell physical possesions, i would do jobs for people i would literally save up every single dollar i could just to gamble. I wouldnt eat just to gamble. Now atleast my gambling addicition i didnt expect profit. At first i did but i slowly realised that Im not going to win, so eventually it shifted. When csgo gambling stopped i stopped for a good year or 2. I did deposit on a site maybe once a month just like $20 or something but i could afford it. Fast forward to the start of this year. I was fine, had a nice girl and was doing alright in school. My girlfriend and i decided to split and that fucked me up. At first i was holding up fine, pretending i was okay but then i just wasnt. The only thing i found fun was games so i stuck at that but then i got reintroduced to gambling again and decided to give it a crack. It was hella fun and made me forget about everything, it made me happy, even though i was losing, in my head i was happy so i was winning. My addiction is barely any addiction. I still sacrifice things to gamble now because its just so fun but honestly i see it as a benefit to myself. It makes me happy even if i lose and it keeps my head clear. Theres a 0% i have and will profit from it because personally i cant stop so i will keep going til i lose but i honestly dont think i will quit. It doesn't financially affect me as much as it could so its fine. The only issue i have is when people around me gamble and that makes me want to so i end up depositing. I've also got a few of my friends into gambling and they've lost alot which i regret but ultimately it was their decision. I still feel shitty tho.
