Bro, I've made so many mistakes that only a true gambling addict would make – I lost money I absolutely couldn't afford to lose, money that didn't even belong to me!
One of the cardinal rules every gambler should adhere to is never to gamble with money that doesn't belong to them, especially loans or borrowed money! The pressure of gambling with such funds is immense, and the old saying that 'you're bound to lose borrowed money' still holds true.
I remember back when I first started online gambling, I was just over 20 years old. It was a late-night, and I was having a terrible run of luck playing baccarat.
That night, I lost big time, so much so that I wiped out all the funds in my account. There was no way around it, you know how it is with gambling addicts – you just want to find more money to recoup your losses.
I scoured my home for money, and eventually, I found a few thousand dollars in my mom's drawer, which she had kept aside to pay the mortgage in a few days.
At that moment, my mind was clouded, and I made the foolish decision to steal that money. It was past 2 in the morning, but I found myself at the ATM, depositing the stolen cash.
The outcome was inevitable – a futile attempt to clean the money. I was bewildered, with my mind blank, not knowing how to explain it to my mom.
I had promised her I would quit gambling, but the next day, she discovered the missing money and confronted me. I initially denied it, but she threatened to call the police and have them investigate.
In the end, I had no choice but to confess. I saw the despair in my mom's eyes, and I was left speechless.
I remember kneeling and slapping myself in self-punishment while my mom cried. Looking back, it was a disgraceful moment. There truly is no lower limit for a gambling addict. I cannot emphasize enough – never gamble with money beyond your means!
I wish you all the best in your journey towards a prosperous and responsible future! |
