hello r/AskMen ! I’m seeking some advice from someone who may have been in similar shoes as me. I’m currently addicted to gambling like everyday, all day and every dollar I make it seems goes to gambling I save enough for food and gas to get to work but unless I pull off a miracle I’m gonna be short on bills. My ex left me a few months ago but it took her months to actually move out and initially gambling felt like an escape from what was going on to keep my mind off things because I never had done it before the breakup but it quickly snowballed and it doesn’t seem my mind has any plan to stop even knowing I could face consequences for my actions but like there is part of my brain that genuinely thinks I’m gonna turn it all around with that next $200 like I’m gonna hit that hand pay or make enough solid bets I quintuple my money or something. I just wanted advice from some men who have faced gambling addiction head on. i understand I sound very stupid and the logical move would be to just quit but my mind won’t let me so please try to keep the comments relatively positive but I’ll take what I can get. thanks so much submitted by /u/DrummerSweet
