    Unhappy I'm going to quit

    Hi everybody

    I have been playing casinos for over 2 years now and lost thousands of euros. But let me introduce myself before I get into anything else:
    I am a 22 year old student, who is always short on cash. I have an irristable urge to get money (not because I like it but) because I need to be financially free. That's right - I HATE money.. and paradoxically, that is why I need it.

    I have spent thousands of euros on gambling over the last couple of years and, as a fulltime student without a job, that is A LOT of money. I am writing this at 8am my time, and I have been gambling all night at 32Red.
    I was up at 1400 euros and I lost it ALL on 2-5 euro spins.

    So now, I am on the verge of depression and I figure that my only way out of this mess is to stop gambling. It is very hard, and yes - I have read the tips on quiting gambling on this site. My problem is the alure of money. Even if I quit online casinos, I will probably continue to shell out hundreds of euros a week on the lottery - which has a much lower pay out.


    I was wondering whether anyone had any feedback on this issue?

    I really don't want to hear that gambling is a game and that you can win or lose (I know this, I'm not completely stupid), and I don't want to hear anyone enthusiastic about it (I am trying to quit).

    Thanks!

    Zach

    You got the first part right - the only way to get your life back is stop... completely!
    You've been chasing an unattainable dream, but have finally woken up & realised this. Now is the time to act.
    But please, do not waste your money on the lottery - that would just perpetuating your dream.

    I do not have financial problems (I did once) but I have only ever had one entry in each UK lottery draw (£2/week). Ultimate high variance (1 in 14 MILLION chance of hitting), and crap 50% return = throwing money down the drain.

    You've made the first step, now make the next; go here:- http://www.casinomeister.com/quit_gambling.php

    Good luck.

    zachbb, you need to find another hobby. You are too young to be throwing your money away on gambling. I have a son in medical school and he struggles just as you do. I to gamble way to much and feel bad about all the money that I have lost. Spending time in this forum has helped me allot to stay away from the casinos. Please save your money and put it back into your education. Good luck and try to be strong.

    Hi Zachb..
    I wish I could offer you more advice. KK is right this is the first step. Follow the link in his post and there is a lot of useful information there also

    I wish you the best.. i think the only way for you to stop is to make sure you look into any support groups near you .. or even online.

    Zach,

    First off, you need to quit gambling. You are way to young to get caught up in this.

    You said you were a full time student. Where do you get your money? Get a job. If you have time to gamble all night, then you have time to go to work. With a job you won't have the amount of time to gamble.

    Above all, get out of this now before it is way too late.

    Man your to young to get into this type of stuff at your age.
    First enjoy the fine things in life.(Not Gambling)
    You have so many great organizations that you can go to for the help you need.
    I wish you all the very best and always think of the future your to young to throw it all away.
    ~~~~~~~
    You know once I was young too and I was into gambling lot more I think than now.and to this day I can still hear my father saying this to me over and over again.
    "Never go crazy when you gamble because you will lose it in the end"
    And my Father always told me if I was ever up in gambling $100.to $150 in the day quit This was a days pay.Never go after that rainbow because you will never find that pot of gold at the end of it.

    Zachbb Good Luck
    You will always fine some great people here you can talk too.

    Nothing much to add because I think everyone above me summed it all up!

    Your too young for this, Theres alot of life to live out there.
    If you have time to gamble ,you have time to earn it rather than spend it.
    The lottery has become more of an addiction to people than online gambling.
    There is no pot at the end of the rainbow.
    Get some support from peers

    I wish you nothing but the best!

    you must stop. period. the only one who makes money is the casino. if you love to collect cash then playing at any casino or any form of gambling, lottery, horses, etc., is a lost cause. there is a minute % of the population that makes a living at gambling. it is not a glorious job. you will never be one of them. 99% of the people who tell me they are ahead for their lifetime gambling are liars. 99% of the people who tell me they are even are liars. recreational gambling can be alot of fun. it should never be treated as a job. from your post, and your need to collect money, it seems that you view gambling as a way to get/earn money. that could not be further from the truth. gambling is the fastest way to lose the money you have. best of luck to you.
    i consider myself a big "player" not a big "gambler". there is a big difference...

    Hi Zach, first let me start off by say Hi and welcome. I myself am going through the same problem and I would hate to see you go through what I have been through and your heading right in that direction if not already there, please read my thread, it's under "other complaints" and it says "I never knew until now", this should show you were gambling leads. You CAN stop gambling altogether if that's what you REALLY want to do, I haven't played in almost a week, I REALLY wanted to stop. Please read my story. Along with my story and the people here, you CAN get through this.
    Good Luck to you Zach
