I feel I want to cry. I have lost over 150.000nok the latest 3 years to gambling online. I cant stop and get uncontrollable urges to keep pushing the button even I see all money disappear, everything going downhill. I always lose it all and cant stop when I am winning some. A few times I have been able to stop but then I have started new next day again and lost it again. One time I sat 19 hours in stretch not leaving the internet and didnt eat, I sat hungry.

I dont know how to stop it and fill my empty feelings with something else on my mind.

So sorry you are going through this. Can you reach out to someone in real life to help you? I love to gamble too, and I know how addictive it can become. I've recently wanted to start online, but have hesitated. Your post has helped me and probably others who will read it. Thank you. Big hug for you, please try and get some help.

Thank you, hannabee. I am glad my post helped you. These greedy people behind the casinos knows most people will lose their money. We who are addicted will always lose. Still its so hard to stop even we see we lose. And one almost always have to lose much more than one win. This way its nearly impossible to win anything big because when the big win comes one has already lost money.

I dont know how to help myself since I have tried two methods already and I have failed. I wrote about my two methods in the section about how we have tried to stop, if we have tried. I dont know what to do. But I know I cant continue having no control. I think always I will have control next time, but I always fails.

I think the real question here is what does the gambling do for you that you aren't getting anywhere else? You know as well as I do that you won't win all that often, so you must get something out of it that keeps you into it. Maybe there is some kind of rush you feel while doing it?

Also, make sure you stop to eat. Being hungry can cloud our judgement when it comes to these kind of things.
