Topic: Gambling Addiction Stories! - page 15. (Read 3567 times)
Just curious to read some addict or former addict stories and probably some of us like me will be glad to see how things actually did roll in for them during this period and I believe some other persons tending towards that path can also learn from it. Also, if you have a friend or relative you can speak for, it would be appreciated.
Personally, this is what I would like to know though.
1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?
2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?
3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.
4. Any other thing you feel you can add is welcome.

I have a close friend when we were college whos love to play and bet in local gambling until we graduated andhave our own lives.until some good batch mates conduct a reunion and weve got to see each other again though not completely as how many of us wayback
And th friend of mine approached me and seek some advice about hes gambling habits when were young turns addictions for lifelong their family wealth devastated by this addiction and turns them to a poor family(in which they are very wealthy in college time)
I asked Him to come to my house often as he can ,without noticing whats my objectives and we come along for almost a year bringing hom to our church and leading with other sets of friends and now he is a new person a God fearing man and a loving father and husband.hope this can help some of addict in gambling save lives
All I remember I was in college and suddenly we tuned into a FIFA match, and we harmlessly put a bet of 10$ I have absolutely zero idea when those bets turned to 1000 and once mad bet of 10000 (I had zero funds was deep down in gambling debt decided to take a risk call and it paid off). I do occasionally gamble but now I'm able to control it, once you learn the fear of loosing your life is when you suddenly are able to control yourself.
the story is pretty good indeed if we trace the gamblers started out of curiosity and dabbled when there is an incident like this when he got the gamble gain then he will try it again and continue until such that he eventually became an addict for the benefit large enough.Come out from this addiction and do not do it for greed but for fun and consider it as a source of entertainment so you will feel good with it and remember that your only focus is should be on your game then success will walk itself towards you.
I have a story connected with forex and binary options. It all started about 1.5 years ago. I saw advertising as people easily make money on Forex. I downloaded the app, read something, watched the video and began to trade. Truth is told that newcomers are lucky,for 1 hour I reached $2500 from $100. Then of course in my head surfaced thoughts that I am a great trader. As a result, I drained all the money. After that, I try not to gamble anymore, it's terrible to lose everything.
This is actually how I discovered Bitcoin. It was originally with forex trading.
I didn't want to do stock trading because you need pretty much 5 figure accounts to make decent money and the leverage is low like 3x. Hence I saw ads for forex trading and saw that you are given like 1:500 leverage.
So with like a $100 account you can make thousands a day as long as you don't lose. Basically the first few trades went well and they were for like $1/pip. So with the $100 account I easily doubled or tripled it to $300. Then I got greedy and started trading like $5/pip or $10/pip.
Now I don't know if any of you actually ever traded forex during the employment reports but currencies can easily spike up 100 pips or down 100 pips within seconds. There is crazy slippage and no liquidity and poof your account is drained really fast.
Not exactly gambling since its technically trading but if you have no idea what you are doing and guessing directions with 500x leverage then its more or less gambling.

I remember that I have a friend which is addicting in gamblers. the first time, we are curious about the gambling and I remember that is a game on the facebook that we've to play without any knowledge. day by day we've played without any purposes and in one day, my friend decides to buy the chip to feel the real gamble but I do not buy that chip, I am playing with the free one. and yes, he can win that games because he learns much things about the games but in the next 2 days, he lost much money until he decides to buy more chips to play. gladly, I can stop from the game and I heard that my friend can stop either but unfortunately, he is lost a big money in that games.
Those kind of games are already comes in the addictive games category and the difficulty level changes in the free and earning games so it is not the best gambling sites to play with and if we do mostly like to lose in that.But crypto gambling sites changes from those online games so we I always like to play in the crypto gambling sites and most like to play in dice game which just only depends on the probability.I don't know how you are making profits through dice game because I am trying to win through dice game from many days and has the ability to increase the chances winning. I hope my fate will not work through gambling website.
Reading through some addiction stories thus far, one would see that a lot of people are mainly addicted because of that making profit mindset they had initially which makes them relax and be too confident, sometimes go in big thinking they have a strategy and all of a sudden it happens and they are trying to recover. If all these parts can be skipped, it will sure make things easy for anyone who wants to gamble when it comes to controlling themselves.
Great decision ha has made. I thought that gambling is bad for our income since it will have a negative effect if lossing is in a streak. But for some reason, if we gamble with our convenient time and our extra money then there is nothing bad to it.
There is nothing bad to doing drugs then according to you. If you have a vice its better to keep it under control because it the cause of your down fall in the long run. You never know where your money went away to because you have been keeping your vices under cover for too long. If you have some "extra" money which is itself a ridiculous idea because money is never extra its always scarce, then you should save it up for use in future for any emergency need or for stocking up for hardships.
people who have become addicted will experience a very difficult life. they will get a lot of life trying because they have chosen wrong. avoid addiction and never consider gambling a game that makes money. suppose gambling as an entertainment and you will get a much better peace. if you consider gambling as a job then it is certain that your future will be full of trials. believe that this will hurt yourself and your loved ones.
It is the people fault that they have wrong understanding about gambling like making money through betting is possible always but this is where the addictions starts once they keep losing the bets in streak then they will start chasing their lost amount resulting in the serious addiction.But gambling addiction is still can be cured if they realizes that they have addicted to it,and it is a long journey to get away from it. 
Im not a gambling addict but i know some and it didnt make anything good to them. One person i know becomes addict on the game called cock fighting that is a popular gambling here in my country. He works abroad and comes back here once a year and yes, he has plenty of money to gamble with. He really likes to gamble.He even get prison on the country hes working for because of addiction. I dont have any news about him after that.
Plenty of stories I can see on this thread about gambling. Actually I do not understand what is the use of sharing these things continously here from the various people. I really looking to invest on gambling means how the gambling stories will be helpful on that.
If the addiction stories has been shared we can assure that gamblers will be come out of that bro.

I quit gambling long time ago when I was on the verge of becoming an addictive gambler. I used to gamble regularly with my friends and I found it entertaining until it started to affect my studies and social life. Then, I tried to reduced my gambling activities.
Then, I got rid of it completely as I got used to the new routine. It was hard from the beginning, but then you will get used to it because your time is filled up with other various activities

Quite good that you are out today of this gambling else sure by now you would have lost few thousands of dollar if you had become a addictive to it and keep gambling. It would have even effected your relationship and health too a great extent.

Maybe this story has nothing with cases of real gambling addiction, but this days somewhere in Scotland opened a hospital which treat crypto addiction, yes, crypto one,there is such apparently. Does anyone know of details of this story or examples of crypto addiction? Some people compare investing g and trading g of crypto currencies with gambling, so I think it has some contact with gambling addiction example.
I got a glimpse of this story few days ago and then I kept worrying what the whole idea is all about. How can investing in any way be compared to addiction ? I am not sure though, since while some people are investing, they actually do it with no knowledge and they make silly mistakes whatsoever by going in too big and then afterwards trying all means to recover from the volatility loss they have had or is this just a way from the hospital to send some message regarding how crypto can actually come with addiction ?If it is by that, then I can as well say I am addicted to crypto since it makes life easier for me in terms of payment and I sure do not wish to get out of the addiction.
I am a gambler but just an online gambling site, I only play foker and dice because it is interested to play in those two places. I spend about 5 days a week gambling and so far it's fun. I am not hypocritical to say that gambling is sometimes a source of income, I am an unemployed person and things are always done every day is trading and gambling, this routine has been done in the last few months. Honestly, I do not like gambling directly in the real world.
Gambling in the real world even comes with more fun depending on where you are gambling anyway. However, gambling as a whole without caution is actually a huge problem because the impulses generally are always there and it takes a lot of principle and energy to control them. Mine almost got out of hand, but I had to retrace back and see how much I have missed it all and then immediately cancelled my gambling activity which is the only way you can get out of it.I purposely fashioned my mind to detest gambling in every way and I am glad it worked most especially when I started doing some businesses and making a lot from it to live a better life which apparently gambling can never give.

When we get a bad result we must stop, but I'm sure it's a very difficult thing to do. if you can control the conditions and situations then you are a great person. Few people can do that because addiction is a very hard thing to leave behind. It is worth noting that gambling game is a bad moment and should never be done. I am sure that many people are disappointed after they try to play gambling for the first time. They enter the gates of destruction in their lives when cheap gambling comes inside.Really good if this is happen to newbie gambler. If you are playing multiple games on any gambling site, first you need to check the previous bets and most recent bets. If you see the result similar to the both times you may go have to quit from gambling.
Else you are able to variation from the both you could leave your mistake and pick the perfect odds and perfect to win again.
Then there are mbtc and low amount gambling option is there, you may anyone in that.
