Gambled my life away
#1
Hello everyone
I am writing this post as a last desperate plea for help. I believed it was possible to short cut life by taking chances at big money to escape being poor… I was wrong.

I am 28 years old so am still young and hold a good paying job with good hours. I make enough to support myself and have a place with my girlfriend where we both can get by and still have a good time.

i come from a poor family and have always been poor. We never had much growing up except good manners and good work ethics. Money came and went for our family but there was always a thought of just winning the lottery and escaping the hard work life style that the whole family has been born into… as I’m sure most people are thinking as well hahaha.

i never liked slot machines, roulette and any other big change games as those I had no control of the outcome. I never liked the thought of money decisions being out of my control, there always needed to be a controlled outcome. This is where blackjack comes into play. Each action can be thought of and be played to the best of your ability, that was a game for me.

over the few years I have lost hundreds and even thousands in the pursuit of my dream, but it never went the way I had planned.
just this week I barred myself from the local provincial casinos and even online sites with the app gamban and even started attending G/A, realizing the last bet I placed would be the end win or lose. I lost.


i have syphoned so much from friends and family that I have burned bridges and sacrificed friendships to try to escape to a place I thought not possible for my upbringing. Now comes the time where it has even effected my girlfriend, I can’t take her out to nice places or travel the world because I have put myself into so much debt that I am not sure I can ever again.

this is why I am here. I am trying the last possible way to save myself her and my apartment. I have neglected my bills my rent and everything else to try to chase what I have lost, only to lose more and more.
i come here seeking any help I can get as I believe in second chances when taken seriously. I am in debt total 13000$, rent 3300 5000 payday loan company and credit card bills phone bills and car repairs.

please if anyone can help me and to save me I will never forget these acts of kindness. This is all I have left to try. This would be my second chance at doing it right this time. I am ready to move forward with my life and leave that delusional thinking to disappear.
