Proud you made the first step in accepting the problem! As gamblers I’ve found we never quit on a win; even if you’d gamble and win today, that would not be the day you quit. We need the loss, the big loss, to realize we’re on a downward spiral. For us it’s a big gambling loss, for others a bad investment or even speeding tickets. We all lose money to something; if we can see it as a last investment into getting better, it’s not wasted. 7k now is nothing if you learn from it and stop now compared to the losses accumulated in the future from continuing. You can stop, it’s difficult but we all can. Stay strong and persevere, I believe you can do it.
