I was taught to play cards since I was before 10 by the family. It was of course for fun at that time.
nI now realized that my addiction was started since then. When I was 16, I started betting on sportsbook. But I did not find much problem
nas I was not working and making money yet.
n
nI started my first job where I made first money when I was 20. I happened to use that money to bet. In a few days I will be 28.
nAlthough I am poor and from poor country, according to my records I lost in total of around USD 10,000 in this 8 years which is a lot for us.
nI wasted valuable time as well.
n
nI lost big and then decided to quit. After sometime, I came back to this habit. It has been several times already. Today Nov 24, 2020, I have found
nthis website and believe that I will overcome this sickness with your help.
n
nI will keep the update of myself posted here.
n
nLooking forward to better days!
