Hello. I'm a gambling addict. I know the feeling ---like everyone would take one look at you and just know what kind of worthless piece of trash you are. Feeling like a complete loser everyday and think that everyone around you looks at you the same way. I used to be a happy and outgoing person with tons of achievements but now I don't even know where that part of me went. I'm not drowning in debt or anything, since fortunately I have a very solid support from my family and I was able to stop sooner before I dug myself too deep. But the psychological effects of gambling addiction is so bad. I became introverted. I lost my job because I couldn't focus. I lost all confidence in myself and I felt like my IQ level dropped 100 points, so I can't even get myself motivated enough to attend interviews. I lost some friends because I wouldn't talk to anyone and was so scared they'd judge me.
Despite all that, everyday, I'm struggling to fight the urge to place another bet. And everytime, I feel disgusted with myself.
I'm recovering little by little, and even if I know I can never go back to the person I was before I placed that first bet, I am making my way to a new me who overcame the depression caused by it. One day at a time.
TLDR: Gambling will ruin your life from all angles. Don't even start.
