Hi samyse
I am glad to see you taking the first step to seek help early for your problem instead of living in denial.
I did not seek help early and my damage was easily more than 20 times the amount you mentioned in sing dollars.
We suffer from a progressive illness; we are advise not to place the first bet,
the fist bet leads to the next bet; the betting become more frequent and the bet size grow bigger;
it will comes to a point where we have lost total control of ourselves;
We soon realize we could not stop betting despise the serious bad consequences.
