Hi everyone! i just discovered this forum and i thought it ll be a good idea if i share some thoughts here and “verbalise” it for the first time.
i read some stories here pretty close to mine and i think it will help me to relief and relax.
My name is Vlad, i’m from Romania and i m 30 years old.
I ve started gambling since i was 10 years old with sport betting and i was ok till my 20’s when i discovered slots machines. I was admited to a great university with big grades and everything was fine. i started selling weed in my university campus and i made pretty good money but that was the moment when my life turned wrong…all the money i started to make since those days went in casinos…i quited university i hired in a good job and had a sexy and smart girl. of course she left me because of the gambling and lost my job of course.
Now i m 30 i lost 4 good girlfriends many good and well paid jobs and lost all friends and relatives. This year i lost my last 3 good friends because i took money and never paid back (i understand them because i m a very stressful person) . A month ago i stoled from my company 2k Euros, ofcourse they kicked me off. i took from my girlfriend her last money and of course she left me too. I stole jewlery from my parents and sell them. They told me to suicide.
So today i m pretty alone, just myself living in an old forgotten car somewhere in a forest with 0 money in my pocket but it s ok because i m not very social anyway.
i closed all my betting accounts and i found a job in germany . one man pays me everything to get there tomorrow and i hope i wont dissapoint anybody from now on.
I m not seeking attention i just want to try this kind of therapy meaning speaking about my problems.
If you read this i wish you to stay strong, everything will be ok. i dont know how but we all gonna figure it out.
Best regards from a hopefull maniac.
