Lost £12k gambling—how do I stop chasing losses & move on?

GaiusBinder

I just wanted to share something that’s been weighing on me.

I recently lost £12k through gambling.

Honestly, I’m feeling pretty down about it.

I know I shouldn’t have let it get this far.

But I’m trying to figure out how to move forward.

Part of me thinks about trying to win it back.

But another part is screaming to just stop.

Has anyone else been.in a similar spot?

I’d really appreciate any advice.

Or just someone to talk to about this.

Thanks.

Hey, 12k’s not exactly a life changing hand, you know? The deck ain’t stacked against you that hard.

Just keep playing your cards right from here on out no more bad beats, and you’ll be sitting pretty.

You can contact gambling anonymous and get some help. There’s absolutely no shame in it.

Ah, you know, I totally get where you’re coming from I remember losing a pretty decent sum myself, something like 33k, all because of drinking and drugs. Funny how it sneaks up on you, isn’t it? I mean, one minute you think you’ve got things under control, and the next… well, anyway. Eventually, I just had to stop. Pulled the pin, as it were. Found my way to a 12 step group, and honestly? It’s been the best move I ever made. Seriously. So maybe check otu Gamblers Anonymous, if you’re open to it they’ve got these steps, you know, those little bits of work that kind of guide you along. Or, if that’s not your thing, there’s always another path. But whatever you do, don’t tough it out alone. Life really is like a team sport, when you think about it. You need people on your side don’t ever hesitate to find your teammates.

Take this 5k, let it ride on the whisper of black it feels like destiny, and suddenly you’ve doubled your hope. Then lay it all down on red, like a heartbeat, like trust in the universe. Just like that, 20k sparkles in your hands a gift from fate. From here, the path is yours to walk. Me? I’d follow the pull, keep believing in the tide of luck.
