Phil Mickelson Opens Up About Losing MILLIONS From Gambling

[tabas]

I've seen gamblers that have lost all, everything that they have because they cannot control themselves any longer. That's why they've got into debt, lost their properties, savings, car and even their partners.
It's a shame that they have to lose everything that they can and realizes it only at the end that they no longer have everything. But, I also saw those stories of those gamblers that have been in that situation and then retrieved themselves and got a better life and they've recovered.

There is a saying that you'll never know what is the worth of something unless you lost it.  At least the guy didn't end his life, if he does then it is the end of everything.  Whatever losses we had, financially, in career, in love life, or whatever, the best thing is going back up.  It is a great thing to admit mistakes, and ask for help and advice from professional and medical experts if needed. 

I wholely agree that anyone who recovered from severe losses becomes a better person.  Since they know how they get there, they are able to prevent themselves from repeating the same mistakes.  Just like this song said What Doesn't Kill You Make you stronger

That saying is true. Since you've mentioned about life, I've also seen those news that they've taken their own lives because they can no longer bear the loss that they've made.
It's sad and at the same time worrying that it's truly happening even if you're not from that area and a life is a life. Hopefully, that most gamblers will be responsible for all of their actions and that's what they're going to think first before doing something that's regrettable forever.

Therapy doesn’t guarantee that it can free you from your addiction, it will still depend on you if you really want to and if you really have the desire to quit gambling.

All gambling recovery methods don't guarantee anything but they are a big help to the gambler that wants to get out of addiction.

Obviously, it needs the cooperation of the person itself but how can they cooperate if they are struggling? That's the role of that therapy as it will somehow ease the addiction of that said gambling. It's a great start compared to doing nothing.

Let's appreciate those institutions, organizations, and volunteers that are willing to help someone who falls out of gambling.

Yes, its still appreciable in regarding these services which do focused towards gambling addiction and to those people who are affected by it.It might not really be that relevant most of the time since
addiction could really be solved out personally or by yourself but there are indeed people which cant really able to help themselves when it comes to that which these things do really end up to be
relevant but of course the amount or pf wont really come cheap which is understandable. Losing millions or huge chunk of money could really happen in gambling field thats why
you should be mindful in towards your actions and goals or mindset towards gambling and never make yourself get greedy and chasing up losses in the end of the line.

There are a few people which can beat their addiction on their own but they are a very small minority, and it is easy to see why as if they were capable of beating their addiction on their own then most likely they would have never gotten addicted on the first place, the rest needs help but not only from professionals but from their family and friends as well, since beating any addiction is not something that takes a few months to do so and instead it is a process which will take the rest of their lives as they keep fighting against the temptation to gamble again.

Possible losses in gambling is an endless one which means that no matter how rich or wealthy you are but you are losing that much into that certain extent which is really very that too big
and trying to cope up with those losses then no doubt that sooner or later you would definitely be making yourself broke.

Super competitive people like Phil Mickelson and Michael Jordan seem to have a problem when it comes to gambling.  It's like their mind can't comprehend not being able to win at something, so they convince themselves they can win, even though the odds are stacked against them.  I'm sure a lot of the time having huge pockets helps them keep going until they get ahead, until that stops working.  Then they find themselves in a massive hole with no way out.  Luckily, these athletes have a ton of money so they can afford the loss, but most people in this position and with this belief they can win end up losing everything.  I'm glad these athletes are speaking out, because I'm sure they'd all be a lot better off if they never wagered a dime.

Yes, they can clearly afford their losses because somehow they have anticipated it too. But the gambling addiction that has developed more may lead to more unbearable losses in time. That made us realized that gambling will never do good in the long run. However, in this case with these big time celebrities, maybe it could be harder for them to realized that but when they nearly lost everything, that's when they start to discover the fact that they are not gambling to be productive anymore.

For celebrities it is harder to beat their addictions for several reasons, the first is that they have a lot of money and as such they take a lot more time to see any negative effects on their finances than the average person, however an even more important reason is that the people that surrounds them prefer to not take a stance against them as they fear losing their privileges and their money, so instead of trying to help them by confronting them they let things to escalate to the point the situation becomes impossible to sustain anymore.
