I had a similar story while I was engaged as well, thankfully it wasn't that much of amount and thankfully I didn't needed the money since it was earned rather than bought so I felt not that bad about it but it really helps you get your life together.
Experience like this gives us the lessons the hard way, we need to loss our money just to understand that we are doing the wrong thing. When you lose a big amount of money in gambling that becomes your wake up call, there is always this moment where you lose all of your money and you have no more money to actually follow the loss and you have to give a break not because you are smart and that is the right thing to do but because you lost all your money and even if you want to continue chasing the loss there is no money to chase the loss anyway so you stop involuntarily.
We do not consider it big until we end up losing everything or done on what we are doing, that's how we react in gambling because that hope of winning back again all our loses is still with us and instead of following the proper bankroll management, we go beyond and loss control. Just like the famous song by Kenny Rogers entitled, the Gambler says : " You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table,There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done",
Gamblers mindset is to win big all the time, they never have a satisfaction and if possible they want to win everyday.

Thanx for the support and feedbacks. I have really sorted myself out in the past few months.
Making plans for the future, going out with friends and family, taking a walk at the park & basically trying to enjoy the simple things in life.
The gambling took a lot from me but i was conscious enough to not let it sink me to the bottom.
I still got plenty enough to get by and in the mean time look for jobs .
I understand that there may be many who have gone through what i have and sadly like some of you said ' You dont really learn this kind of things until you go through the experience itself'.

I kind of suspected that you still have enough, and I'm glad I was right. Even when we lose what we can afford to, we still feel bad if that amount was big. The most important thing in this situation is to stop chasing your losses (it's a good thing to do at any point) because you are risking to lose much more than you can afford otherwise. It's much easy to say than to do it in reality, but you've managed to do the right thing, and now you can serve as a good example for others.

Congrats for you mate, you are now starting to walk on the right path. You make us realize that gambling addiction is not impossible to cure, if you able to overcome that then for sure others can do the same. It's just a matter of motivation and determination. I hope your story will serve as an inspiration for others especially for those people who are already addicted ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

Story like this isnt actually enough for someone to convince quitting in gambling most especially if they are really addictive . what they need is an actual encouragement from the people around them ( i.e their parents , friends , neighbors , etc ) Still i salute the op because he is doing a good job in improving his life away from his bad habits . Gambling itself isnt bad at all , all we gotta do is just play in moderation . and more importantly is bet only what you can afford to loose .

Addiction in gambling can be solved but it needs a big effort from the gambler itself and of course, support from his family. But it will needs longer if he doesn't get any support from anyone and he only fight by alone to solve his addicting. I believe if that person has a strong effort and wants to get out from gambling forever, he will do whatever and as long as he can stick with his plan, I am sure that soon he can solve his addicting.

This is just my two cents on bitcoin gambling.
I made quite a bit of money back in December when the bitcoin price was roaring. I quit my job since then and been obsessed with bitcoin investment.
Things didn't turned out as people hoped . Bitcoin price went downhill and i started to chase my loss. How ? Yeah, as stupid as this may sound.. Bitcoin Dice sites. I have lost over $50k in past years gambling in dice sites like Primedice, Bitsler & Yolodice. My personal life was devastated with sights of depression and bad relationship with my wife.
It was almost like i was somebody else when i click that auto roll. The adrenaline was like a drug that got me high. As much as i regret quitting my job and betting high on auto roll I learnt to forgive myself.
My advice to you guys is that betting minimum on 2X with 100% increase on loss will NEVER pay your bill.
Many were victims of this circumstances as they pulled out from their regular day job to get in fulltime on Bitcoin. The biggest mistake one can make in life is the mistake of ignorance. OP made money back then in december but never had the second thought of investing into real estate rather still went ahead to gamble with his/her gain, though the truth must be said. I will advise you to get back on your feet and get a day job and make Bitcoin your second job.

I think it is good that you are trying to search for a job in real life now, because you would be able to keep yourself busy with the job and have less time to think about gambling. You could also try to bring your family members out for a holiday trip once you receive the salary from your new job, as I believe spending more time with your family members would also help you to stay away from gambling.

I'm glad to hear that you still got some to be able to stand up and recover. Was on the same road years ago, was really hook up, almost play everyday in casino with my salary and didn't save, until such time that I eventually lost my job, it was really a eye opener for me. So it took me years to really fully recovered from the negative effects of gambling. But I'm glad that I have a supportive family, So I don't know what to do if not for them.

Quitting a day job is never the to focus on crypto to me is never the best thing except one is running an exchange like business because the uncertainty in the market is something one should not joke with. Its even worse for someone who is now putting his hope in gambling. That has increase the chances of failure to an unprecedented level which if care is not taken, might lead to something drastic should things not go according to plan. For gamblers, I think the most relevant advise is to stick to the rule which is ensuring that you gamble what you can afford to lose and nothing more no matter the amount of urge or pressure to do otherwise.

Sorry for your losses bro. Quitting well paying job for an unpredictable/uncertain market was a mistake some made back then.. You quit your job, joined crypto market, gambled... That was indeed a true definition of a gamble.

Oh awst very sad experience, play gambling without control will become addicted and the result is lost of all assets. By the way just move on and forget the past. I advice leave playing gambling and try to go find again a work and ask help to your family how to espcape in gambling addiction becuase I think gambling isn't for you or maybe if you recover if you want to play again just set greed control and play it for fun not for the source of income and don't leave your work as your source of income spent your money ready to lose.

I'm just wondering HOW can you lose money when the BTC is just changing in price? Maybe in trading, it is possible, or perhaps you mean that you lost your BTC in betting in dice. Anyways, That's more understandable. I think it's better to be more specific in using the amount as BTC not as USD because we know it's changing. I hope now you can control yourself and not make yourself addicted to gambling, never think of it as a source of income, and it will never work out.

What's been quoted in the Op seems to be true. What he has lost is much big in comparison to one's lifetime's earning. What he had lost through gambling could give a lifetime spending access. As suggested it is always good to have limits and then proceed on gambling. Gambling is always risk involved, one should not spend beyond his affording capability.

Move on, take a break and take a new fresh start. Leave behind the unhappy moments with gambling. You should prioritize your family now and not any other else. Gain confidence and try to find a job again. There is no possible, just refrain yourself from anything that may lead you to unsuccessful events. Find a way not to go back with gambling.

It must have been hard for you to share your story but thank you since it might help others who share this same disease with you. The dice sites are to be played only for entertainment and not with hopes and aspirations of wealth. To lose 50,000$ would make me go insane and my wife would divorce me in a heartbeat! You are lucky she still loves you.

How could you ever think that you are going to earn money from gambling? I think that the main reason that pushed you to lose your money was the fact that you resigned from your job, you didn't have any source of income and you were trying to make things right but with the wrong way. We should always have some safety because Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are not yet established to our economy, thus there are high levels of risk.

Sad to hear that you lost 50k, but gambling should never be your main job. Gambling should be something you do for fun with money you can afford to lose, and of course, you never play with rent or living money.
Op should need to learn on how to control their emotion because losing $50k is a big amount of money gambling is for fun sometimes you will win but losing is more and in the end you will realize your mistake Im also being addicted to online casino way back 2017 I lost some money but its okay because I enjoyed playing games like dice, poker and slot machine ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I feel sad to read your story, it is really lesson-able for us and i also remember that period when bitcoin price was roaring, most of the members are discuss about left the day job and work with bitcoin for earning,, even most of the threads was in bitcoin discussion to work with bitcoin left job. But now bitcoin never reward us and i am also one of them who facing the loss, because i also invested on bitcoin too much but i couldn't earn profit from it. I have only one option to hold bitcoin and wait for a time.

The thing is OP is not wise as other gamblers, he is a victim by the dopamine of gambling. Remember that small amount of dopamine to every thing will lead to some serious addiction unless you have the control to yourself or the people surrounds you can lead you to quit it. Sad to hear about that OP but I guess that's not the end for you if you change perspectives.
Quit gambling, live life, have a fvck*ng job again (make it permanent if you like it), and mostly prioritize your family nothing else will be the one to support you rather than them.
