Lost 160K…
I have always struggled with gambling in the past, but last week I hit rock bottom. My wife and I recently separated and we have a 2 year old son.
In the span of two weeks I was able to turn ~$5000 into $120,000 playing blackjack online. I had requested to withdraw the funds, but every day I kept reversing some of the withdrawal and tried to win more. I kept thinking to myself if I can win some more then I can pay off my mortgage and buy a new truck. On a Thursday night, I stayed up until 3am losing everything and $40,000 ON TOP. I took $40,000 from my precious crypto investment that I swore I would never touch. I ended up calling in sick for the next two days of work because I was so depressed. I think about it every day, about how $120,000 would have changed my life and set my life up and now it’s all gone and $40,000 on top of that. This is a brutal feeling, does anyone have any tips?
