If I would be able to take a loan I would go for a 1000 btc loan. Gamble safely my way up on dice sites to 1200-1500 and return the initial 1000.

You're retarded. What I said was a joke. Anyone who loans money to gamble is absolutely fucking retarded (aka big banks).

First thing you need to do is, don't open anything related to gambling, not even to have a look. It's very hard, but do it if you want to quit.

It also helps to talk with other people that had a gambling addiction in the past, they can tell you exactly what to do, even though every person is different.

Keep yourself busy with stuff, do you have a hobby? Or go to the gym, just anything to clear your mind.

The best way to stop gambling is keep all the money in CD and have your mother keep your CD cert.

By starting this thread, you are halfway there. You don't need any advice, you already know you'll never win at the end. If you feel the itch, go and buy ONE lottery ticket. This way, you'll never loose big.

There''s a number of hotlines you can call (at least in the U.S there are).  I would say tell people close to you so they can hold you accountable.  Also, many sites have a self ban that you can ban yourself from betting online.  Make it so your money (at least large amounts) isn't easily accessible.  That's all I can think of off the top of my head

Don't think you can chase it back. Just consider it as you dropped it on the street somewhere or you got robbed.

That's a good advice. That metapher is helpful:
Be aware that while you were gambling you were walking in an unsafe area that you should avoid next time or you get robbed again.

Act responsibly to ensure your safety but don't engage in self-hate.

You never faced hardship, because $6k is huge.

Face the loss, and re-coup that money in other ways then gambling cause repeating history doesnt do you any good.

Learn about odds and math in depth.  Learn about EV (expected value) - every -ev bet you make is a loser its just results orientated thinking confusing you.  Also learn about sharp and square betting if you into sports.

After all that if you are still betting large without an edge then you basically hate yourself and are on self destruct so you need therapy. Or you think about life in a temporary way and need to learn postponed gratification.
