Hello
Sorry for bad English
I am 26 years old and fighted with gambling for 8 years and I am in worst point right now. Some years ago I tooked many loans in total amount of 10 000 euros or so and I have later paid them back but one month ago it happened again.
I dont know, I just can not control myself, I took little loan, about 500 euros, then I lost it. I took another loans, to gamble and win previous loans back but now I am situation, where I have 6-7 loans, total amount 15 000 euros and I took them in one month! I just don´t know what to do, I just cant tell it to my family and friends, they would be very dissapointed.
I even wrote to celebrities on instagram and facebook to ask help to pay me those loans, I have even asked for some refund, but nothing. I have to pay around 600 euros per month, also I have to pay my apartment´s rent.
I am just so dissapointed in myself, I am ruined mylife in one month. I just want to turn time back and never take loans again and never gamble again, I just feel I am pointless and stupid man

as i mentioned in the post above
you wont' stop until you get tired of stressing out like this. You need to get tired of losing/stressing out.
Also realise that winning might not take you to the places you wanna be. It might take you away from close ones you love and to live an unstable life full of other dangerous things.
