Hey guys going through some hard shit right now... I lost close to about 800k gambling today. Any other punters experienced shit like this or have any advice for a time like this? I'm feeling very very bad :(

You should contact gamblers anonymous. I'm sure there are plenty people there who have been through similar situations.

Was warned by my Father, if ever he caught me gambling I would be cut off. Try gamblers anonymous please

800k .... that's way to much money to be pissing away at the casino ,whats done is done ,its imperative you be honest with yourself and realise that you have a serious addiction, consider this a wake up call for you to take action,start the process of healing by getting the professional help that you clearly need.

Yeh think I'll find a GA meeting it may help to speak to other degenerates like. I still dont think it'll heal this hole that I now feel though. I feel so broken and angry as. My neighbours must think im cray with all the shouting that I've done today. Fuck man

If you are not happy with GA, try a counsellor they can be very helpful

I guess it depends how much 800k is of your net worth. If it is a small percentage, it is just one of those days. If you are invested in equities or high(er) risk Financial assets, losing 5% of your investment on a day, is pretty "normal".

I am not downplaying what has happened, but maybe see it in perspective.

It's clearly a stupid thing to have done but remember everyone makes mistakes in life ,it certainly is not the end of the world,tommorow is another day ,you pick yourself up and keep going .

don't beat yourself up to much , like I said what's done is done , rather see this as a life lesson to be learnt and get the help that you need .

time will heal many wounds .

Stop gambling with immediate effect.
Unfortunately you cannot escape the financial consequences of this loss.
Is this your hard earned money or is it daddy's money?

Oh. No to think how get could hve helped some one ..I wish to win just enough to guys car and tht would be an out of this i find difficult industry. If keep my regs but is get back to my life...

But dont do resenting now if you had tht cash perhaps nxt time help a charity or call me I'll help you. Underlying issue... now a GA meeting i think might not fix this perhaps Virk has a point..but I have learned well dont no more much but to go gambling do that thiscannor happen ..i gamble to win enough for 4 wheels for my 25k a month job life ...
Attitude of gratitude.
