My friends , I just want to let you know don’t chase your losses . You will bounce back , have a savings plan and you will double your savings by not gambling . Be strong , forgive yourself , and believe that you can beat the evil spirit that you can’t see. God bless .
Well said. Your comment gives me hope. Gambling has me on the brink of suicide due to Huge losses, regret, urges and repetitious thoughts and gambling behaviour.
@@davidhanifin2692 my friend, be strong and you have to really want it deep inside. Out of Sight out of mind, find yourself a new hobby to keep yourself busy and to keep your mind off gambling. The first couple of weeks will be hard but after that you will be coasting saving money in your hand. With your money go to nice restaurants by yourself nice clothes or nice trips to relax your mind , body and soul away from casinos. Once you break that evil spirit that we can’t see and the urge to gamble you will bounce back saving money more than you ever had. Once you have the money put it in your hand and say to yourself ,” I don’t need to gamble I have money and I will always have money.” God bless my friend and my prayers are with you, and your not alone.
@@davidhanifin2692 it is never too late my friend, there is a solution to everything, no more sleeping nights and regrets . Forgive yourself and you will succeed. Take it one day at a time, one hour at a time. Listen to this video that reminds us of the past that we left behind , and the life that we will never go back. Today is a new beginning to happiness without the evil spirit in our lives. Close the door and don’t welcome the evil spirit back in your life. I believe in you and we will all succeed if we really want it.
The best part of breaking free is looking at spending money different. When I was addicted and went grocery shopping, and to put gas in my car, buying clothes, fixing my car , and paying bills, All of these things I always thought it was expensive and a waste of money. I always complained how expensive everything was and I limited myself on necessities. But when I went to gamble I never limited myself, I always wanted to gamble my last dollar to chase a dream that is a big fat lie of becoming a millionaire gambling. Breaking free from that Evil spirit is a Relief of being a new person in life. A new start to a new beginning of enjoying life , having money to travel and eat buying necessities for hard works pays feels good. And you will too my friends if you really want it, god bless.
Bro it's amazing, can't believe It's totally the same with me too. Always saying the things in the market are expensive but when it came to that evil place I've never limited myself... Can't believe that it happened to other people too.
Thank you , I Listen to this video every morning. Going on 2 months, I feel great and I have money now. I hated this addiction all my life, and I am tired of blowing away my hard work money. I know this time it is over.when I get older I don’t want to have any regrets . Love , live and laugh. God bless you all.
@@alexrobinson8732 it has been over for me for a while my friend. I don’t even count the days because it is deleted from my mind set. Odds are for losers who don’t believe in themselves to succeed in life.
I’ve never been addicted to anything but this is by far the hardest challenge and stage in my life ☹️ I want that thirst to go away. I want to stop loosing my money. I want to feel free from such need. I am pushing thru and I applaud those that have broken free from this addiction.
@@jennielaunica6907 God bless you, take it one day at a time , one hour at a time. Listen to this video everytime you feel that magnet to gamble , it will help. The first 2 weeks are hard but then when you break free and realize that your hard work money can buy stuff that you always wanted , it will give you hope. Write down 5 things you always wanted to buy or places you wanted to visit and you can make it happen. Casinos are a big fat lie, they will not make you a millionaire. Keep yourself busy , find a hobby watch movies , travel etc. Out of sight and out of mind , and your sensation to go gamble will fade away, But you really have to want it be focus . There are two kinds of people in this world; Leaders and followers, be a leader show yourself you can do anything that you put your mind into, don’t be a follower and gamble your hard work money like everyone else. One more advice , don’t think about all the money you have lost, don’t chase your losses, just let it go, you will bounce back triple by saving it and not gambling. I personally at first had a rubber band with money and I said to myself I have money, I will always have money for my hard work. And i would treat myself to nice things, eating good, traveling , shopping, it will feel great to you too. Hope this helps, god bless , and be strong.
Islam bans gambling and Alcohol .They both Destroy individuals and societies .Iam a muslim i made 49 thousand dollars and was going to withdraw and cash out at 50 thousand dollars then lost all.Well iam Glad i lost them becuase i repented tp god and allah said to us that its bad money the one u make from gambling . I KNOW work and spend money happily for my swet and work
Don’t chase your loses my friends, everyday you go without gambling is a day you have won. Out of sight out of mind , just really want it . You will bounce back everyday that you don’t gamble. Consider the Casino the winner, and don’t let the big fat lie suck you in again. Let them have whatever money they got from you and don’t let them get your money again. Be strong.

Trust me, chasing your losses is a BIG mistake. Even if you win some back, you'll keep going until you lose it again. I've been there. I've just self excluded from everything, so it stops now. I've forced my own hand, sometimes you need to do that to stop.
@andyc..it's true bro .I won more initially..later I kept losing until my pocket was empty and made me play again again and beg people around..they were smiling and ignored..I really felt that moment decided to stop gambling..this casino 😭 will destroy our life .. gambling money will be cancer..it will keep killing you
14 months clean, every day will be a fight but I feel like I have turned a corner, I don't think about gambling anymore and put my focus elsewhere, I'll be fighting this illness for the rest of my life but I'm doing well at the moment, every day I tick off another day, stay strong people 💪
I bought a calendar and I have promised to myself to write "clean" for each day I was not gambling. I am 3 months clean now. My life is changing. I can see a different me. Stay away from this evil.
The best way to stop gambling is to have a list of at least 50 things to do instead when you feel the need to gamble ..thanks for the likes never had 17 likes ..
I recently started gambling. It all started from playing poker w friends, which eventually turned into online poker, which turned to other gambling games and what not. Today was the worst I have ever experienced. I was up at one point, I was at such a high number that all my other losses would have disappeared if I had pulled out. Long story short I lost it all and then put more in trying to chase what I had lost. For reference I’m only 20 years old and I have only lost around 600 bucks but still for a college student with no summer job, 600 bucks means the world. I had never felt such a deep hole in my stomach. The urge to keep going, the dream of doubling up, is indeed a lie. You never win. This video really helped me realize that and I hope that everyone else who watches this video and sees this message can understand what I’m saying.
Casinos are in businesses because they never lose , always profit. In the short run or long run they always have money to pay the employees and their bills. I ain’t going to pay their utilities any more. Going to focus on my bills and savings. God bless you all.
I have lost almost everything to sports gambling & pokies. Why rehabs don't treat gambling as a drug is beyond me. This gambling addiction was a thousand times more potent than a meth addiction but no one seems to understand that. I'm in Australia.
Hi David, I am from Australia aswell. Think about it. Our addiction is very profitable for the government. Meth addiction doesn't make government rich. I lost heaps it hurts. There is a deep problem that is making us go back. We need to find the problem within us to break free from those evil addiction
I'm 22yrs old and so far I've lost 30 grand on betting sports this previous year, and I don't wanna lie, my family doesn't know about that cause I'm afraid to tell them thinking that they'll perhaps judge me or get mad at me.
@@whynot2030 the problem is our greedy government deliberately put them on nearly every corner. Knowing it's evil. But don't care. Marketing it as fun. It doesn't have the stigma of meth or heroin addiction so ppl think it's acceptable. A legal evil high. That destroys souls.
Such a horrible feeling to blow your paycheck within 2 - 3 hours of getting it. Driving home with tears in your eyes and wondering how in the hell am I gonna pay for gas/groceries the next 13 days? Loans? Credit cards? Pawn shop? All terrible choices 😢
Its a very hard situation bro.I am from Uruguay 🇺🇾🙋🏻♂️.I have a very hard gambling addiction since i was 18-19 years now i am 36. Stay strong! I am with you.I have so many loans and suffer anxiety and depression .Greetings from Uruguay and stay strong! 💪💪💪🙏
One time I won $800 at the casino. I knew I should go home. However I told myself " hey let me play just $100 of this. Who knows, maybe I'll turn a good night into a great night. If I lose, who cares, I can then leave with a really good $700. However after losing the $100, now I say to myself " ehhh I couldddd try just $100 more. If I lose that I'll leave with that remaining $600. Still a heckuva day right? " Well next thing I know I'm down to $300 and my thought process changes to " omg I can't leave with a measley $300 when I had a really nice $800 three hours ago!!! I absolutely HAVE to get that $500 back!!! Then I'll be back to $800 and THIS TIME I'll leave ( supposedly ) " Down to $200, down to $100, down to $20. Need gas but say screw it, down to $0. Now I want to puke and/or kick myself in the nuts. Mentally exhausted, stressed out, sickening feeling as I have a walk of shame to my car 😢😭😡🤬🤮
That is how I felt exactly when I won a 2000 dollar lotto scratcher this year.. took 1300 of it with me to casino and blew 800 of it easily and fast to.. I was lucky to escape with 500 but the anger and sadness of the moment lead me to storm up to the security and ask that they put me on the self ban list for 5 years.. should of did lifetime ban but 5 years gives me time to think about how bad gambling is..
gambling has me where it wants me, and im stuck. working all month, getting overdrafts from my bank… wasting it all a day or two with the overdraft included. depressed and sad all through the following month, strugglin, not paying bills, creating more depression and stress. its a killer, literally.
The fact that these videos are watched so few times gives me a deep concern about what's going out there. The explosion of gambling addicts cases will just come on the society as a tsunami... Man this world is a shitty place..
Thank you for this video. Day 1 for me now. Cant wait to break free from this sh*t. Cant wait to feel happy again. To never worry about how I'll get past a week or more without a single penny on me. Gambling is a big fat lie. I'll comment on my comment every now and then to update you. This video is the start of my withdrawal.
@@jenniferfairchild186 hey jen, havent gambled so far. I feel anxious and stressed (I think). It just feels like im in discomfort most of the time, physically. Im guessing its because of the withdrawal
Nice to hear that you are commited on staying gamble free. Really hope you are staying strong and have not gambled again, not an easy thing to do, so hopefully we can all be strong and stay away from the demon which is called gambling.
I hate this life at the moment. I can't break free. I'm hopeless at it. I'm keep trying. I want to share my love to all the people who need help.who are stuck with this horrible disease. Please keep strong and never give up trying to give up. I believe god didnt bring you all this far to give up on you. God has a plan and your apart of God's plan. 0please please never give up fighting.
You're obviously a strong person. Congratulations. However I am one person who could not do this on his own and had to admit that. I got help through gamblers anonymous, the right medication and therapists.
Great video. I am 33 years old and have Been struggling with gambling and drinking for about 14 years now and it is at an all time worse. I am desperately trying to break free from this horrible disease. 🙏
I'm 22 and it has been 4 years since I started with gambling and drinking, on and off. 2021 has been the worst year by far and I've realised that this is a serious problem and want to get out of it! Can anyone please guide me as to how I can start my recovery?
This December, I will be one year and a month as a former compulsive gambler. 15 years of that hell...but I never stopped wanting to quit. What worked for me, was an audiobook called, "Allan Carr's Easy Way to Stop Gambling". I listened to the book every day for a few months and went over it in its entirety about 5 times, repeating the chapters that hit me at the core. I listened on walks outside in nature, in the shower, on my breaks at work. Like this video says, REPETITION is powerful. I now take the money I used to blow on VLTs and take trips abroad whenever I can. Life starts now!
I think it is defined by the symptoms, if as you say you have already won and you continue playing Even losing everything is already a problem, the point is that if you have lost a good amount of money it leaves you with great frustration because you are going to want to recover that money anyway and at the end you are going to return to the casino and you will lose and you will lose ... etc. that happened to me too Control a lot of control you have to have Greetings 👍😀🇵🇪
Thanks so much for this video. I truly appreciate you, for calling gambling what it really is. A evil spirit that has taken over many. Even myself. thank you I will watch everyday. Thank you!
I had a horrific accident 3 years ago which should have killed me. I was in a rehabilitation facility for half a year and once I was out and began gambling again I told my Mother “hey since my accident I think I’m up like 60-100 bucks”. She told me “oh mate, you’re up a lot more than that! Think of the thousands you saved by not gambling for that short period of time.” This spoke volumes to me. Suicide rates are the highest amongst gambling addicts out of any other addiction because people chase their losses by doubling, tripling and multiplying their bets by countless amounts. Then they just lose it all in the end. If you didn’t receive the message from this clip: GAMBLING IS A TRAP
You need to get a grip. I have a close friend who lost over £200K over 25 years as a gambling addict. He had successfully kicked the habit and it’s been 8 months since he’s been clean. Seriously if my friend can do it then so can you. I have seen him go to the absolute depths of torment with all the losses he has accumulated over the years….but there is hope as long as you’re alive. Seriously….you got to overcome it and seriously want to quit. He’s now a gym goer and has started to save…of course the money he’s lost won’t be coming back…and he’s now aware of it. Be strong, make the decision,and start a beautiful, happy and prosperous life. It needs to start now…not tomorrow or next month or New Year’s resolution. No time like the present….my prayers are with you! 🙏
I lost my paycheck last night, how many years like that , I fell terrible, just want to die , I don’t want to talk to any one ,,don’t want to eat too , so terrible addiction
I gamble because I want more money than I have before and after I get my biweekly paycheck. I gamble because I have a boring life and a spouse of 27yrs and counting that I no longer feel any sexual attraction to. This is why I gamble(craps)
When I was a child, my dad ( gambling addict ) took me and my brothers to casinos, bingo halls, etc. We had to stand outside of the rope, where the gambling machines were. At bingo, he even let me dob the cards as a 10 - 11 year old. It was a different time back then and I think he knew the owner. So they let me do that. Anyway, putting a naive, impressionable, easily manipulated child in that environment is hideous. Two of us three brothers became massive gambling addicts, as soon as we were of age. Not a coincidence obviously. I have a ton of debt right now and it makes me sick. Wish he had waited for mom to come home from work, then go gamble by himself. Leave us kids out of it. What a horrible addiction. Absolutely financial obliterating, stressful, depressing, life destroying illness 😭
I'm using my mum as a bank now. Pay day I do shopping and put petrol in the car, pay bills and the rest I transfer into my mums account so I can't touch it. If I don't have the money I can't gamble it. This is a new plan so hope I can get away from this demon for good.
I quit gambling and said to myself I will never gamble again, then after days or weeks Im gambling again. This is the last time I will say this, I will take care of my hard earned my and spend it wisely.
6yrs in gambling n i hve lost everything n cnt Even take of my mum n daughter even myself... today i made my mind out to gambling today n i want to change ..yes its a big fat lie...am getting myself out...thank you n wish me luck
Hi David, I am so glad that you did this video for the sake of saving gamblers and their life's! Is it possible , can I translate it and share in my channel for the sake of my nations to benefit from this awesome video. Please allow me to do that and i will be giving link to the origin of this video as well. Thanks and waiting for your approval.
Most sad thing about the gambling is that even. If you lose 10000$, and win 5000$ after few days you are still happy. Chasing the loses will cost you fortune my friends.
Compulsive for years Still sometimes I drop a few hundred It's disgusting An the worst is a win or big win is actually setting you up 4 further losses and despair Bookies should be abolished Poker however At least it's man against man equally An not man against a billion dollar Giant with an abundance of fixed races class 6races etc
Hey man just Tryna quit lost all my money work my ass off at my job just to lose it all. I am 18 someone told me they won 25k with 100$. Just tried it once a couple months ago and I am stopping for good. I kept playing cause I didn’t want my parents to see the money I lost, I went for the chase.
Hello I am writing this because I am dealing with the same habit and trying to get spared of this worst addiction of my life and the good part is every time I lose it make me one step forward to overcome of this habit and now o learned to limit my needs to make compromises in life and trying to earn through legit means . However I am thankful to god I never had huge account balance one of the reason might be I always thought of earning through betting which never made possible to accumulate money in my account and the good part is I never took loan for betting so I am also not in any debt, I can understand the feeling of losing money and one who lost huge amount or who are in huge debts the pain is hard to express. Betting is a fake illusion of fulfilling our needs resulting to loss of money, sickness, frustration, depression, sleepless nights , bad family relationships and waste of ones precious times. Many more things to express but words are not enough and I really pray to god to overcome of this evil spirit (gambling) for all those people who suffered or still suffering, life is one don’t waste in gambling (God Bless All )
Yeah just need to find a new hobby to replace gambling.. been struggling with this curse for years now.. I was on a roll quitting then I got held captive for 3 weeks worse experience in my life then I went back to gambling right when I was finally released.. that was my way to cope with the pain was to do more harm to myself by gambling money away.. still gambling even after self banning myself from my only casino.. now I do strictly scratchers and that is costly at 20 bucks a scratcher.. I wish you the best of luck, it's not easy like everyone tries to say it is
What I will say is… the only want to fight your enemy and have the change of suscess… is to know everything about it. I’m not a gambler, gambelling is a big fat lye… the sistem is program to allways make you lose… stay hard😊
Lost 80k I hardly worked for. Have been gamble since my 13's, I am now 16 years old and I lost 2k today. Gambling has made me suciidal, people don't take your losses, casino is a huge huge trap..
I dont know why but naturally I was always prone to gambling. When I gamble I have no control over it and I keep on making huge bets more then I can afford. Im only 23 and just started making money. Before 5 months I lost all my savings around. More then $20k. I also have debts. I stopped gambling and worked so hard and was coming to normal. But again after 5 months I had a relapse and within this 3 days including today I lost more then $4k That is a huge amount for me. I m so measarbale. Blaming myself. With guilt. I can't even think straight. I'm drunk as he'll trying to numb the tension.
Stay strong my friend, I lost 40k in the last 3 years betting on sports. I am 40, I have been clean for 2 months. I have always bounced back and you will too if you stay strong minded and you really want it. I decided to find my self a new hobby and I just decided to play video games on PS4 to compete and keep my mind off of gambling. it is never too late to stop gambling and start saving again. I feel your pain and sadness. It is not your fault , we are just victims of Societies greed of the casinos . I don’t understand how they are legal to ruin people’s life. They just want the easy money from us because they always win because gambling is a big fat lie. The greed and adrenaline is not worth being depressed after losing. Forgive yourself and don’t chase the money you loss let them have it, but don’t let them have your happiness, health ,and joy of life, start a fresh life today with new goals.God bless and enjoy your new life.
@@ubFortnite thank you for your inspiring advice brother. The saddest part is to be burden to the family. Like before this time also the money was for a immediate purpose. Now I have to ask them again. While they are themselves not in a good place financially. Due to my mistakes they also have to suffer.😞. I haven't talked to them yet. Should I be honest with them?
@@harikumarlimbu2441 we are human my friend. We all make mistakes. First forgive yourself and then be honest to your family and tell them the truth and that it will not happen again. And tell them that you will work hard to replace double the amount. Family always forgives my friend. Being honest always pays off in the long run. You are not the only one with this addiction that we cannot see. millions of people are in the same position that we where in. tell your family when it is the right time for it but not too late when they have to find out for themselves . Empty your mind from gambling out of mind out of sight. The first week is the hardest after that it is open water. You can see daylight. God bless and everything is replaceable especially money, but time and family are priceless .
@@ubFortnite thanks a lot brother. I will be honest with them and will hard to be a better person everyday. And also I wish you too good luck in your life brother. Keep shining👍
@@harikumarlimbu2441 hi there! benn there many many times. family cannot enable paying off your debt. more they bail you out the more you wil do it. sad to say but true. prayers for you !
I quit gambling for 2 weeks but today i fell for it again. This time, i really want to quit. I want to start living life. I work really hard and spent all the money on onlinecasinos. Im done, i dont want to live like this anymore.
Who ever own this gambling business is very rich and live in a very nice house and own a lot of nice cars 🚗 . If you are bored don’t gamble go fishing or go to the beach , visiting friends, or go for a drive to see small town . Or go look at antique shops. Buy yourself a nice coffee or lunch you will feel better.
3 months and 1 week clean from gambling signed up to gam stop for 5 years in UK and moses self exclusion bookies for 12 months I will make it to 1 year just hope I don't go back to it after the year ps you can only self exclude from bookies for a maximum of 1 year at a time self excluded from every bookies in Merseyside!
@David H.Ryan i'am litteraly crying when in watch this video ik spend the last 8 years wasting my money on slots, sports, blackjack, roulette whatever you can gamble on. i already lost 60.000 euro in 8 years. every month is the same cycle i got my income, pay all the bils and i use the rest for gambling. 5th of every month everyhting is gone and then i need to eat only bread and water and if i'am lucky pasta with saus. until the next month and then the cycle repeats. i cant do this anymore, my liver is damaged from doing this, always have a hungry feeling sometimes i pass out on my job from having so low energy. its fucking sad what i'am doing with my live, i'am 28 years old and this SHIT NEEDS TO STOP RIGHT NOW !!!!!!! , thankyou for your life advice, thankyou for this video i will watch this everydag untill my mind will reset itself !!

I wanna try but the gambling has robbed my happiness and motivation.. I had 20 chances to quit when I was down 10k-15k-20k-25k-30k but time and time again I kept going.. I have a little money left but thats it.. its hard to move on from this loss
Islam bans gambling and Alcohol .They both Destroy individuals and societies .Iam a muslim i made 49 thousand dollars online gambling out of 80$ and was going to withdraw and cash out at 50 thousand dollars then lost all.Well iam Glad i lost them becuase i repented tp god and allah said to us that its bad money the one u make from gambling . I KNOW work and spend money happily for my swet and work
I found 3 1$ chips and I thought I would have the discipline to just cash them out and go home, but ended up thinking to myself (hey… few games won’t hurt)… ended up losing $800…. Had to learn the hard way… never stepping foot in there again
