i dont know if uve quit but...i am 28 and i understand gambling is hard to quit. i had a problem with it a few months back and felt terrible. why? BECAUSE i blew away about 2000$. and i dont make a lot of money. i gamble because im depressed. i dont do drugs nor drink. i gamble cus of things going on in my life. i know it doesnt solve the problem. i thought it was impossible to quit. i was hitting rock bottom and decided i needed to stop. i aint gonna win it back. i decided to stop. one day at a time. forget about the 2000. my life is not over yet. take a week off gambling. then you start to let it go. and when the week passes you can continue forward. not gambling that is.
