If he wants to go to a professional, then I think his problem will be solved, and he can realize that what his doing is not right so he can start to fix his life to be better. But that will depend on him because not all people will realize and want to visit a professional to solve the problem and mostly, people will don't care about that. People will still play gambling without thinking about their life and the family, and that will only make their life will ruin soon or later. He needs to aware of that and tries to stay away from gambling for the first thing that he needs to do now. And he can start to build some activities or think about the other passion that he might have.

We don't have any option on that yet back then, besides it was just the eagerness to get his money back from the slumps, everyone would do that. Besides we really all felt that in the beginning, we just learned from our mistakes in the past that's why we can say such things right now. We can just feel bad on them but can never blame them for it is just a common mistake for us gamblers.

I'm sorry to hear that. Gambling addiction is a horrible thing to deal with, and takes a tremendous amount of will power to break free from. You've lost a lot of money, but you still have the most important and valuable thing.... Your life and health. Try to find something to replace gambling with. It could be a hobby or a Church group. Stay strong and keep moving forward in your life. Your past doesn't equal your future.

He really needs help from a professional,  if he has a weak motivation and heart he would have lost his mind just thinking all his lost, a professional help will allow him to set up activities and guidelines together with his family on how to overcome those losses it's actually
 a mindset.

I also thought he does need slightly help of a professional but I believe the OP already has everything under control which is the reason why he talks about it instead of the situation to cause him headache which could lead him to the state of needing professional help. Besides, if you check his account he was online this week and I just hope he learns from his mistake.

Yes, but I think every people have an option to start his life again whether they realize or not. The problem is people always chasing their loss until they are tired and realize that it is not worth their living. I agree that we must learn from our mistakes in the past so we can manage our life from zero and if necessary, we need to think about how to solve the problem in gambling. When you can ask help from other people, then I am sure you will not feel alone because you will get helped from them to solve the problem.

Surely all things come in our life to make us learn things from it. If you had lose once i am sure you must  learnt so much from your mistakes so never repeat and gain experience. Not all gamblers are perfect if you want to spend good time in gambling never be greedy and make sure you don’t gamble with fresh mentality.

You already said it, they are not perfect, they are human that is why they are prone to addiction.

A gambler will still continue to gamble since that is how he lives. A gambler will always think that they can win even if they are on the verge of not having anything. When they are losing, they will not learn, why? Because they think that they are just having a bad day and tomorrow will be different not tracking they are already losing for months.

People do what they like, do they overdo it or not it`s individual. Not every gambler is the same, I wouldn`t think about gambling with my savings. Gambling is a game of winning and losing, you can`t win all the time, nor you can lose all the time, and if you don`t know that if you are not aware of what gambling is than I don`t know why you gambling at all!
I will point out the sentence from Best Dreams "all things come in our life to make us learn". It`s the essence, and some people learn it fast, others never learn it no matter how many chances they had.

Don't forget your family or your loved ones since in my experience, they are the ones that helped me from taking myself out of gambling addiction, not entirely out but they really helped me. Desperation can really lead you to addiction that is why we should prioritize our goals so we will not be going to places we should not be.

Yes, they are one who can lift failures and they can easily change our mind into other things. Yes, we should always think about the family members before gambling huge amounts because the one we lost we cannot recover our money. Gambling is not necessary for our life, but make it as fun when we are tied up with the other things.

[cabalism13]

that's because they're truly dumb to realize what's wrong on their habit. Even if a Pro Gambler  them what to do, they'll eventually continue on their habits that's because they only think about money and their personal desires without thinking the outcomes or results of their decisions.

People lose because if their own mistakes and because of their wrong decision taking mistake. They become greedy to win huge faster and in this thinking they lose. It is very wrong to be greedy in gambling it will distract your mind  and you could lose amount instead of winning apart from it over confidence also makes people suffer

[TheGreatPython]

I almost thought it was my exact story shared when I read the post lol, so it is very obvious that so many gamblers had been through this, so OP is definitely not alone and just like we all recovered I believe he will and this time, he would have learnt new lessons.

I would advise the OP to talk to a specialist and as well always be around people that would make him happy. The advice given here might not be enough to see him through because if he’s not very careful, he can go into depression. I almost committed suicide when I had this problem but I am glad I had very nice people that kept on encouraging me to let go and move on, today it’s a thing of the past and I have almost forgotten I once lost a very huge amount of money.

I think it high time every gambler who loses in gambling shares his mistake rather than what they lost. I have read too many loses by gamblers on this platform and everyone would think it will not happen to the next reader but the next minute another reader is up with their own complains, so let’s be practical and let me start from you. I believe something led to the loo and at this point, you now understand what you did wrong that led to the loss. Please share, someone is definitely interested in learning from your mistake.

I have never lost a dime in gambling. I can’t account for every single amount I have sent, what went out and what came in, this is because I started prepared.

Losing isn't an end for everything, it's just a lessons that we need to learn. Don't be disappointed when you fail on gambling, because having serious attachment with it was stressful to us. What's important is we should have strong faith and determinations to face and battle emotions in order to overcome another loss.

I agree with this. Losing is part of the mistakes and its normal. The best thing to do when you lost so much money in gambling is to move on and find something to spend your time with - either your family or anything just to distract yourself. I know losing too much money isn't that easy to forget but it already happened and you must move on even though it is hard.

Loss is one of the attachment in gambling and is inevitable to we the gamblers. Whenever we gamble to a lost, we learn how hard to win and eventually when we win, we learn how to be patients.

What causes many gamblers to lost and regret their action is, their inability to control greed, am a gambler who  gamble to win and run to gamble another day. But many will gamble and win, and still continue until they loose everything they have gain before, greediness is a major course to lost.

Greediness is the weakest part of a gambler.

Even when someone win big, you see them back online the other day, redeposit and losing their profit and even more.

I've lost big. Over the last two or three years, I've lost 60K in total. It was almost my entire savings.
It started out with a large investment in bitcoin when the price was about 13K.
When the price dropped to below 4K, I lost all hope after waiting forever and gambled it on bitcoin gambling sites trying to triple it up, just to make my money back.
I lost that and a lot more. Never imagined it turning out this way. Especially after the price went back up.
I don't have a lot of close people to turn to nowadays. It's hard to get through each day feeling horrible. Just needed to reach out somewhere.
Sorry if this isn't the place.

This is the bad side of gambling. Once a gambler became addicted in gambling it is expected to ruin your financial status or worse everything my auntie was an gambler before she have a good life (i.e stable income, own a house and good husband) until she became a gambling addict. she has a loans everywhere to the point their house was pawned without her husband knowing good thing her husband discovered that she has a gambling addiction and pawned their house but they didn't saved their house because of my auntie's loans  because of it and she's in rehabilitation center and her family is currently stayed at our house.

Alot of this is about attitude, we can lose far more then money in life.   The secret to happiness is to appreciate all the things you have been lucky on, its quite ironic there is any people who are very rich but sad people but there definitely is partly because they placed their priorities wrongly.
   Anyone born in a modern western country is born rich compared to a large part of the world born into struggling economies and poor basic standards of health across the population.   You can win just being a member of a successful country, I know many are proud of where they are born but also there is a great benefit gifted to those in the west in terms of wealth ability.   I try not to take that for granted, I would be alot more sad if I missed all the positives I'm lucky with even if I'm not that rich and I've never really won a big bet.

  This attitude adjustment could even play into winning more regularly, a bad attitude I'm pretty sure makes for bad luck because its harder to balance when to walk away from the tables when you dont appreciate the good luck you receive.  If I win on 1% odds even if its a small amount, I appreciate my good luck all the same.

Don’t be so greedy about using gambling I know it is very hard to admit your mistake if you ever made then again start gambling. But lose often occur because of the gamblers over mental stress so better relax yourself before you start gambling. Avoid mistakes and never be greedy to win higher faster than other earning resources.

Indeed. A great mind set also is to lessen your expectations for the output of your game; in this why your emotion is handleable. Another thing is that, winning is more worth it when it surpasses your expectations. It's an overwhelming feeling and could also boost your decision making.

We hope so, and we could still help him always remind him not to make another mistake. Yes, we don't want to see he is in the bottom and we want him to rise back and forget about the past. Many of us suggest him to visit the professional that will help him to solve his problem. But before he does that, I think he can do that with his family first before his visit. I guess his family will help him to find the solution.

Greed will always be there in humans, no matter how hard we try to avoid greed, but greed will never disappear. It's true that relaxing will reduce greedy habits and mental stress, but keep in mind it's not entirely.

Greediness is the weakest part of a gambler.

Even when someone win big, you see them back online the other day, redeposit and losing their profit and even more.

Greed to earn more is the usual problem of gamblers.

Even if you win its hard to refrain to stop already and enjoy the profit. Addicted gamblers keep coming back to try their luck.

We thought gambling is the answer to double or triple our money or to recover the losses, but unfortunately what really happen is the opposite.
