I'm drained from these endless cycles of losing

I can't keep chasing this winning streak to the poorhouse. Every time I hit the tables, I think, 'This is my chance to turn things around,' but it always ends the same way - I blow my entire bankroll chasing losses like a fool. I'm tired of playing so conservatively. I've worked hard for my money only to squander it at the casino every time. Sure, it's exciting when I'm ahead, but I always manage to find a way to lose it all back. Lately, I can't even enjoy a decent meal without thinking about the better ways that money could have been spent. My dreams are just fantasies of hitting a big win, but I always wake up disappointed. I'm done playing these mind games with myself. I'm putting an end to this draining addiction before I lose what little self-respect I have left. No more gambling - this time, I'm stepping away for good.

This isn't a joke. User1's clearly going through a tough time.

Have you considered reaching out to Gamblers Anonymous? They might be able to provide some support.
 
R@xette, thanks for the suggestion. I've thought about GA, but I'm kinda nervous about the whole group therapy thing.
 
Y'all ever tried switching to poker? It's like, way better odds than them one-armed bandits. I reckon you could turn this ship around with some fancy card playin'.

Wicked idea, but careful not to trade one addiction for anotha, kid. User1 needs a break, not a new game to obsess ovah.

You guys both have a point. I used to play poker, but I'm worried about falling into the same trap. Maybe after I take a breather from gambling altogether.
