HELLO YOUNG MAN. WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH IS WHAT ALL GAMBLERS GO THROUGH. I AM A GAMBLER ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST 32 YEARS. I HAVE RECENTLY LOST A FORTUNE GAMBLING ONLINE. I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A STORY WITH YOU THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO A BETTING SHOP I WAS LESS THAN 16 YEARS OLD. I ASKED A ELDERLY MAN IN THERE TO SHOW HE HOW TO DO A BET AND HE REFUSED. HE TOLD ME TO GET OUT OF THE SHOP AND NEVER COME BACK. HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAS LOST OVER 1 MILLION POUNDS. I LOOKED AT HIM AND THOUGHT THATS JUST NOT POSSIBLE FROM THE WAY HE DRESSED. THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS THAT HE DID NOT WANT ME TO GET IN THE SAME MESS AS HE WAS.
NOW 32 YEARS ON I AM PAYING THE PRICE FOR NOT LISTENING TO HIM.
IT SEEMS YOU ARE STILL A VERY YOUNG MAN WITH GREAT LIFE AHEAD OF YOU. YOUR SITUATION IS NOT AS BAD AS YOU THINK IT IS IF YOU WALK AWAY NOW.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH GAMBLING IS CHASING. WHEN I GO TO THE BETTING SHOP AT THE END OF THE DAY ALL PEOPLE WHAT TO DO IS WIN BACK WHAT THEY LOST ON THAT DAY.
SELF CONTROL IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN GAMBLING AND SADLY AS CLEVER AND WISE AS WE THINK WE ARE WHEN IT COMES TO GAMBLING WE LOSE IT MEANING THAT ONCE WE REACH OUR TARGET WE CARRY ON AND WHEN WE LOSE WE LOSE EVERYTHING.
I REALLY HOPE YOU CAN GIVE UP NOW. ITS NOT ABOUT THE LEVEL OF STAKES, BE IT LARGE OR LITTLE EVENTUALLY YOU WILL GET TO A POINT THAT YOU ARE FORCED INTO BETTING LARGE INORDER TO RECOUP YOUR LOSSES.
PLEASE PLEASE GIVE UP NOW YOU HAVE A GREAT LIFE TO LOOK FORWARD TO.
GAMBLING EFFECTS YOUR DAY TO DAY LIFE IN A NEGATIVE WAY.
