- The real and honest truth of my life the past few years. Now that my parents know and life has spiralled out of control, i am telling my truth to the very detail, so i can finally move forward with my life.
Let me give you all a reality check. I’m 55 and have been gambling for 35 years. It’s embarrassing for me to even think about how much time and money I’ve lost. I’ve won Big and Lost Bigger! I would much rather have been an alcoholic than a addicted gambler. At least an alcoholic sleeps off his drunkenness. I absolutely Hate this life I’ve chosen . There is nothing worse in life when you have lost all control. Please 🙏 pray for me.😢
I'll pray for you. I'm also in my later years with a gambling problem. So I definitely feel your pain.
Praying for you, sorry i just saw this. Very heartbreaking to read and not to use you as an example, but i am relating to what you say already and even at 40 harbour
a lot of hate for the life i have chosen, praying i can make a last minute change. This is one of the worst addictions anyone could ever have. Best of luck and take each
day as it comes mate.
Gambling addiction is the worst. We need to address it, by giving gambler a right to self-exclude from all online and real life gambling establishments for selected amount of time. Online should all require KYC+face scan, whilst real life should require face ID/government ID, before purchasing chips. It can be done quite easily and would help people like you tremendously.
I am gambling because I am on dopamine suppressants for my severe chronic insomnia, so I know the struggle. It has been 2 years (at 28) when I was put on these meds and 1 month later I started online gambling. I have to keep my money in cash, otherwise I would deposit them all. It is humiliating not to be able to pay by card for stuff in 2024.
Such a horrible feeling to blow your paycheck within 2 - 3 hours of getting it. Driving home with tears in your eyes and wondering how in the hell am I gonna pay for gas/groceries the next 13 days? Loans? Credit cards? Pawn shop? All terrible choices 😢
terrible feeling, I won a lot but never contented end up losing all
I do tht on my phone without even going to the casino. A lot of times i win back my money in time for bills but not this month. And i had some close calls where i thought i was going to get it back. Those just misses always bring us back thinking we gunna get it. Its a fuckin mind game and it is fun until u face reality. Im sick of it and im trying to find a way to just contain it. Betting on every sport all times of the day has consumed me
@@tbriggs6965 I hear you. I was doing great for 5 months but then I blew my sobriety last Friday. Then went to the casino for six straight days. I am out of control and it's ruining my life again 😢😡😭🤬
@Sleepy_Gamer i just lost 100 bucks :( i dont want to gamble ever again
hahah I remember doing 6 hours of gardening in the sun for cash and blowing it all in minutes before I even got home. I used to go numb to contain the negative emotions of a loss.
I've been gambling for over a year now. Everything I worked for has been for nothing. On paper I'm a successful 25 year old but in reality i'm as miserable as can be. The only reason I haven't killed myself is because of my parents. I feel the pain through your voice, and it hurts me so much.
You will be OK.
Don’t quit you can make it big just win it back
@@mrfoodskater u got mental problems
@@MrSocko-vn7fw gotta hit the parlay
@@mrfoodskater
Dude thats always the mindset. But what happens when you cant hit. I look at odds like a sharp. I will hit the underdog +200 but parlay with a -350 loser. I find a way to lose lately. I used to be good at this but seems now that its legal its become even harder to hit. Plus my interest in all types of sports has grown so i try to bet on damn near every sport even different countries at all times of the day. Its just overblown and i dont know how to contain it
I know how you feel man 😢 but like you said it's never too late to change 🙌 I'm 25 and I've gambled since I was 18 I've lost hundreds of thousands but that was just a part of my life when I was lost. God gives us all many chances ❤ you will save 10x that 60,000!!! I believe in you man
Hello brother can you advise me how you stopped gambling am stuck in this thing bro 😢😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
Ya i agree if he can get over it and move on he can still make millions I gambled 500 thousand on the share market over 20 years and now l am 60 years old but still have a house and a couple of million in the bank you can easily make your wealth at 37 years old good luck you can do it 👍😄🙏buddy 💪👍
Bro says hundreds of thousands😭dude has lost 4,000 lifetime
@@ten_grand_forex_academyyou need to stop. Find a hobby, exercise, meditate, look at the reason why you were gambling. Once you see the reason and find peace within you’ll be happier.
@@ten_grand_forex_academy Replace it with a healthier way of filling your time, like gym and self improvement!
Thank you for sharing your story. I am in this same spiral that I can’t seem to get out of! I truly hate the person that I’ve become. I’m at the point of physically hurting myself because I lost deposit after deposit after deposit. On top of that, I’m set to get married in less than 3 months and it’s killing mw inside because I’m not mentally and financially ready. The thought of bringing my fiancés into my bullshit makes me sick to my stomach. I need this to end. I need to not do this to myself anymore because I’ve turned myself into a person that I don’t even recognize anymore. Lord help me and everyone in this situation. It’s the absolute worst! God Bless!
Reading this is so sad bro, you're setting yourself up for a future, but you know this addiction will get in your way, unless you stop it. I get it man, it's absolute madness,
it takes from the very best of people and makes them the very worst, i wouldn't wish this on anyone. May God protect and guide us,.
Thank you for sharing your story Brother. I also developed a dangerous gambling habit in 2014 which cost me around 200k. I worked so hard for that money yet just threw it away on gambles. I feel your pain Bro. Let it be growth and build your determination to deal with the addictive nature aspect. We can rebuild a step at a time. Truly hope you do!
My life has been ruined gambling I’m about to file for bankruptcy at 30 years old… and can barly afford my health treatments that have a hefty monthly cost… I feel where you come from man… I’m going through this too
It has destroyed my life , I have lost everything , I used to come home late , in one year I have lost 25k € , I have decided to stop and change my life . I have let the state block me , now I have been living my normal life for a month, but it always comes to my mind how I can get my money back... it depresses me😢
So sorry Bro, hang in there, its such a tough road to travel, but we are not victims, we cannot feel sorry for ourselves, what is done is done, all that matters is that we live in dignity and quit falling for traps because it can only be somebody elses fault so many times, eventually we have to wake up.
I lost custody of my daughter back in 2001 for leaving her in the car . I lost custody again in 2011. I crashed four cars coming home from casinos I've gambled hundreds of thousands.
I've spent 23 years of never against
I've had hundreds of never agains and thousands of rock bottoms. I got pulled over and a 440 dollar ticket coming back from a casino. It just seems to never end
You can't kill yourself if your Christian becouse your already living in hell. If you have never gambled I urge you to never start. It's a never ending hell of mental anguish.
What game do you play in the Casino?
I've been there and it's taken me almost 5 years to recover my losses and start all over. Gambling has taken me to a low point. I hope everyone can overcome this horrible addiction. If there is any urge at all, think about the time of your biggest loss and how it felt in that very moment.
God bless you all
I recognize myslelf so much in your story. Similarly I've lost amounts that is and could have been lifechanging. Been an gambling addict now for the last 5-6 years and its tore me down mentally to the point of just feeling like a lump of depressed matter. Isn't it sad how we skip purchasing clothes and enjoying good company and food, exchanging it for gambling which only results in isolation, loneliness and sadness. I've put myself in debt this last month in order to gamble, something that has been so incredibly painful.
That said, If I don't stop now, I will loose not only my job but also my family... The friends I once had I've already lost due to not caring about anything than fulfilling that gambling crave.
I am remaining hopeful however and I think we eventually need to experience these tests in life to become both great and wise. Once I saw your video I wrote myself a motivation and goals mindmap. Wich will be updated and read every day to remind me of what I am fighting for. I am at this point angry and motivated fuck the weakness and sadness.
Stay strong ramio and thank you so much for sharing, you are not alone in this fight. Remember that
Bro same here🙌❤
My parents committed suicide, i have been gambling on sites that I know are fake, even the genuine one do same. Fooling people by ways. I lost 50K dollars. I have nothing left. I think I should.. 🥹🥹😭😭😭. I should have done charity. I should have made the people happy. But what i did is to feed these Digit Dacoit and Criminals for nothing, for their smartness to fool us.
May i rot in hell for not listening to my parents.
@@talkpresent Damn bro, sorry for your loss, I've been on a downward spiral too, lost 7K alone betting on soccer. I just seem to never cash out when I win and do good, I hope one day I can end this addiction. .
Was in the same position as you not too long ago. I lost thousands upon thousands of dollars at the pokies over a 10 year + period, gambling to feel "normal", chasing losses, making all types of excuses as to where my pay went, pay day loans , pawning in valuables just to get the money to gamble it away, etc. Done it all. I was the typical gambling addict.
I read a book called "The Easy Way To Stop Gambling" - by Allen Carr. The book SAVED my life and it was so easy to stop immediately with no withdraws at all. Was too easy and was surprised at how simple it was. Give the book a try, mate.
The thing is you have to WANT to quit for the book to work, not need and have to quit, you must WANT to quit. I was at the stage of wanting to stop gambling, read it and it worked. I'm in a way better place now financially and I'm happy, back to myself again.
I'm sorry you're going through this. No one understand what gambling does to someone unless they've been through it. It's one of the most insidious and isolating addictions out there. You'll get through this. Take care, mate.
Thanks for your story i truly appreciate it and the struggles, watch my latest gamble video, i have been clean for 3 months now :)
Im going to check out the book brother. Im struggling. I really wonder if i want to quit or just feel like shit since im down right now. I need to get my mind right. I have been feeling hatred towards myself and it consumes all of my life. My parents were hard drug addicts and even though im not a drug addict like them, i feel similar. Thank you guys for the inspiration
It is never too late . Move on buddy and never fall back to this addiction this time. Be strong and appreciate what you have right now ,you deserve to live with the happy life. I am currently fighting with the addiction, like what you have mentioned you can’t hide it too long,as it gonna messes up one day. I am listening what you have advice and move on to focusing my life. Thanks man.
Same here... I lost 80% of my saving on gambling. My life destroyed. I wasted my time and my years of hard work. Now just my daughter and my wife keeping me alive.
At least you still have 20% of it. 😊
I'm 30 years old, I started playing online poker when COVID lockdown started due to boredom, eventually turned into addict. Slowly I became anti-social just to play poker online and stopped completely being in touch with all the PPL I had known. I used lock myself in room even during the weekends for more than two days just to play poker thinking will recover atleast little money what I've lost if not completely. I did so much damage that whatever I earned in my lifetime or my parents had is no longer with me. Even my parents sold their house to get me out from debt problem I was suffering from because of my gambling addiction. My gambling crave was so bad that I used to wipe out my whole salary in a single day as soon as credited. Though I was losing most of the time and it was vicious cycle that was making me restless to play again. This gambling sickness made my life upside down, lost my respect, lost the trust ppl had on me, lost my job and every minute seems to be nightmare for me now. Because of me my whole family is suffering, I've not only made my life hell but also dragged them along with me. Kinda completely blank and unable to focus on anything. Getting back to normal life is such a Himalayan task now especially when you're financially broke and being unemployed.
Hey Stephen, wow my situation was simiar to yours, covid and lockdown kept me isolated and we couldn't even leave 5km from our homes, this moment opened me back up to gambling addiction after quitting for a few years, this round was the worst one, i lost complete control. Your story is frightening and sad, i am so sorry to hear about the extent that the shackles of gambling constrained you, i got close to your situation but have just quit on time. Getting back to normal is so difficult, you have to excuse yourself and make no excuses to go anywhere near this disease again. You're still here and alive and with each breath there is an opportunity for you, step by step you will get to where you need to be. Thanks for sharing.
I have lost over 500k in last 8 years. Worked really hard all those years gambled every thing. Always hating myself got addicted to loosing. Lived in car for over 2 years while working full time. Made mess out of my life. I'm in nz came from India people alot of rhem around me over here made me feel horrible at every gathering because I'm indian which increased self hatred in me led me to escape for gambling and got addicted fast.
Not because you are indian. It's your greed to get more money. You continued it for 8 years ? 1 year is more than enough to realize gambling. Go get married and your wife will stop you. Share your finances with her
I understand you bro, so sorry to hear. We really want others we love and ourselves to be happy, its the ultimate goal but we are our own worst enemy.
@independently_ it's easier said then done. Maybe you don't understand how gambling effects brain or just being judgemental. I could say the same words for a drug addict when I don't know what causing a person to be drug addict. People choose addiction for distraction from reality they don't want deal with it including me. Greed is part of it not the whole picture as you labeled it. I can live without alot of money not without peace of mind
Badass where did you get the 500k from?
That's really sad. Prayers to you rami that you become whole again. 😢 virtual hugs💛💛 never too far from gods grace📯.. peace✌
One time I won $800 at the casino. I knew I should go home. However I told myself " hey let me play just $100 of this. Who knows, maybe I'll turn a good night into a great night. If I lose, who cares, I can then leave with a really good $700. However after losing the $100, now I say to myself " ehhh I couldddd try just $100 more. If I lose that I'll leave with that remaining $600. Still a heckuva day right? " Well next thing I know I'm down to $300 and my thought process changes to " omg I can't leave with a measley $300 when I had a really nice $800 three hours ago!!! I absolutely HAVE to get that $500 back!!! Then I'll be back to $800 and THIS TIME I'll leave ( supposedly ) " Down to $200, down to $100, down to $20. Need gas but say screw it, down to $0. Now I want to puke and/or kick myself in the nuts. Mentally exhausted, stressed out, sickening feeling as I have a walk of shame to my car 😢😭😡🤬🤮
Wow Josh i can so relate to this, thank you for sharing it. This is the sick cycle that gambling puts you in, over and over again. I won $25,000 once, then i kept playing until it all went a day later instead of withdrawing my win, it actually makes me literally sick to think about it. This is why it's an evil entity in the World, in the end i became so brainwashed i just wanted the sensation and not the win and i became addicted to LOSING and feeling like a LOSER. Take care and please fight it.
@@ramio1983 Thanks. Oh man, I've never won anywhere near $25,000 but one time I did hit $6400 on a machine. I left with approximately $5400. I remember it was a Tuesday afternoon. Well come Friday of the same week, I was using credit cards! Cause I was flat broke already. Tell a normal person that you had over 5k on a Tuesday and are broke three days later and their mouth hits the floor. Deservedly so because it's preposterous that I would be broke that fast. However it's not that shocking when other addicts hear that story. It's an absurd, vicious, brutal, life obliterating condition. I'm doing everything I can to stay away from it! Life is so much more stress free and fulfilling during sobriety 😁🙌🙏
Been trough that
OHHHH THE WALK OF SHAME
I am 19 and relate to alot of what you said. I've lost an amount no 19 year old should loose. Thanks for this video it really helped.

Gambling turn my life upset down i have nothing my hard working money wasted on gambling saving wasted on gambling am sorry to hear about that bro I feel your pain be strong
I was a gambling addict as well. I stopped gambling after I gambled away allot of money that didn’t belong to me. It was my brothers money. I was such an addict and thought I could win back my loses and used his money but failed. I was so shocked and felt so bad that I went this far. From that moment I just stopped cold turkey

hello Ramio, as these I greet you from Peru.
a year ago I saw your relapse video. all this is very difficult this situation that you are going through I am also going through it and I can tell you not to give yourself for venture, still not ... this addiction will not win. a lot of Ramio strength. united in this struggle
Its a terrible terrible feeling. This is where I am at in life now and I’m scared and falling apart. Been hitting rock bottom for a while now. Im rooting for you maybe you succeeding will make me inspired a little more. Praying we can get over this 😢
Thank you for sharing your story bruv and your raw vulnerability…not only can I relate but I appreciate you, I think this does so much good…I have no doubt you will find the self actualization your looking for and indeed we’re all looking for…god willing
Thank you brother god bless
We all have been thru this road when it comes to gambling. It takes and takes more from you. First, I told myself I need to get what I lost, then I lost more. Then I told myself I can do this part time, win small but do it long term. You win 2 or 3 days straight then lost back 1 day and more. This is toxic and it's silent killer if you don't seek for help. I've learned never to look back what you lost. God bless to us all and we will win by not gambling another penny
Chasing loses is the story of my life. Im searching for a new outlook and understand why i do this. Its a true sprial
I've chase loses end up losing more, now i just let go what i lost and stop hoping on gambling
Even i try to give it up...but this habit always comes back. And its true i have forgotten how to enjoy lofe.
Ramio, you are still so young. You could still build a very nice financial future. I bought my first property when I was 38 years old. I’m 60 years old now and on about 20 properties. And I had a gambling problem. That’s over. But my life is not and neither is yours. Keep going. Work on yourself. Do meditation and work on knowing yourself. Gamblers are greedy people. Fearful that there’s never gonna be enough. Not interested in what it takes to make money legitimately. It’s all there. In every single gambler. Mostly, it’s the lack of being able to face the difficulties of life. How easy would it be to not have to deal with people. But we do have to deal with people -we are social beings. But not just that. We are also individual souls that need a lot of attention from ourselves. You can give yourself meditation, hypnotherapy, cold water therapy, exercise, good food. Write in a journal. You are free already. Now start behaving that way.
From the hundreds of comments home, this hit home the most. Thank you Radical, i appreciate sharing your story and encouraging me to continue mine, in the best way possible. I endeavour to succeed, time is all i need. Thank You :)
Your video is spot on. I relate to everything you say. It's new years eve here in New Zealand and I am praying, vowing, promising to stop this addiction.
Hey brother I just lost 15k I decided to just stop cold turkey do something else sport or find à hobbie keep yourself far from that shit I wish you the best man
May God help us ..today 5 days off gambling,I pray for strength
Stay strong brother! INDEED with Hardship there is ease
You have quoted Quran my friend
Kudos to you for your honesty. It's very brave to own one's mistakes and share it with the world is actually even braver. It's humbling and inspiring... May you keep finding peace #BeBlessed
Already had debts, parents in law, bailed me out once, stopped gambling, wife forgave me, months down the line, the devil captured me again, 2 credit cards maxed out, 4 payday loans, I'm 48 now and I don't think I can face the upset or start over again, I'm done with this life, hope things work out for you
I pray i can learn a lesson from your story, that is terribly heartbreaking, you're only human- we betray others and ourselves- i really hope you can do your best to forgive yourself, i believe its NEVER too late to get back on your feet.
Sorry to hear brother, i have not lost so much as you, but been addicted since 17 im 27 now. My biggest win was only 2000 dollars, but this past months been so hard. Cant even stop til Ive got zero and then this anxitey hits and this feelings..😪
Gambling is an addiction I can totally relate to - the partial reinforcement has been studied in psychology as being very powerful. I got home from Vegas one time and had to hold a pack of cards in my hands just to feel centered. I’d been playing blackjack all weekend.
everyone that is trying to stop gambling. you just have to forget about the money you lost. and it also helps alot to replace gambling with something fun. i love to play golf so that is now my addiction. some people like to go to the gym. whatever u like to do keep yourself busy
Just discovered this video and I hope you have recovered from your loses! Stay strong buddy!
I had a crippling mental disorder, it took me over 8yrs as a revert to overcome that. Never give up on yourself, is the best message we can promote, bc there are always going to be struggles but in the end we have to keep on moviing or we will die.
If its any consilation. You've just opened my eyes. I had a gamnbling addiction a few years ago and lost thousands of pounds. Im alot better financially now and hadn't gambled for a while. The other day I went to a casino with my friends and started online gambling again. I thought i could control it but started feeling the same feelings i used to. Watching this video has completely stopped me in my tracks. Thank you brother. Well done for taking control again and from the bottom of my heart truely wish you nothing but the best. Just seen your three month video. Lovely to see. Good luck mate
Thank you for making this video man I’m right here with you man I hope you can beat this and I hope I can beat this thing too but I definitely needed to see this video right now and reading everyone comment let’s you kno your not the only one that goes threw this struggle
I loved this video. It really helped a lot, so thank you. I am going thru something very similar, and my life is out of control. It escalated so quickly.
Hey Amy thanks for the watch and comment, this is the reason i do it. It's come at a cost, it's caused me many problems being public about this addiction but i don't care. I do it, to advise, help and WARN others- this is a dangerous place to be in, so get out ASAP.
Rami you have many blessings and I pray you start loving yourself warts and all. The shame spirals into more addiction to block out the pain. Has Gamblers anonymous helped ? the step program? Stay brave and keep sharing as that’s the only way you stop hiding your internal pain. You don’t deserve to keep hurting yourself… this will be your life struggle but you will as you have started to share your life so much good just from one clip has come for others that will view it … God has many ways to show us our purpose 🙏
Hi brother. I just saw your video and let me tell you it touched my heart because I’m currently going through the same emotions and withdrawals. I wish you the best and hope that we don’t fall back. God loves us all and he will always remind us on when we are in the wrong. God bless
Honestly God is the only rope to hang on to in these moments, our faith needs to be boosted and we need to fight this devil.
i quitted after years of drug addicton and i am now 4 months sober i know it was just God's work cause my life was destroyed and i couldnt get out i just said after years of crying and misery i will never do it even if i have to kill myself. i also needed to break up a toxic relationship which was also essential and let go of all my friends, just focus o myself. sorry for the long comment and i love you and hope you cope soon and that we see you feeling better and thinking about yourself and your welfare only. with love
I just put gambling online in the description and I saw your video. Bro keep ya head up and have faith.
new subscriber here. I found you in the comments under the video about The Masked Arab's critique of the sun setting in a warm/murky pool. Gambling is one of the most addictive and terrible habits. Stay away from misguidance, stay safe and happy :)
Please watch to surah al zumar
Surah al zumar verse 53-69
with translation
Hey Man i will surely check it out, thanks.
Well done for acknowledging your situation and I hope you can stay clear from a life of gambling.
human. make humanly things. mistakes, is a trial and test in all sides. Say bismillah and i seek refuge to you oh Allah from evil whisper of sayateen in every activity it really really helps. God said, Remember Me, i'll remember you.
Hope things are going better nowadays for you brother.
Any update from you will be a great message to hear.
Stay strong, stay with hope.
Thank u sir for being generous to us sharing your cautionary tale. Hope you're doing good now.
I’ve had addiction issues my whole life. Addictions are horrible to say the least. Gambling is or was the most devastating and powerful. I relate to your video and I’m so thankful for you sharing. Anguish hate self Sabotage disgust….. are daily feelings. Let’s climb. Forsake the idolatry and covetness off this sinful self decieving wicked path. Stay strong.
The thing with gambling is you have to have some sense of self control and be honest with yourself. I have been gambling for more than 12 years and never had an issue. I also take breaks on both winning and losing streaks to prevent any compulsive decisions. Most people have trouble training the mind to handle gambling.
the only way to lose is dont know how to control your bankroll.
I agree man. I recently came home to visit my family and luckily alaska has no gambiling but i spent 4k in less than 4 days and all gone. This trip should of cost me 500 bc I don’t spend money at my parents. Now I feel depressed. Sad. I don’t even wanna look at my bills . It goes to show you brotha. The devil sure loves to make us think today will be the day you hit it big, but nothing ever comes of it. I could of came out with 1100 profit out of all this. Just walk out when I was ahead. Now I am about to go back to Alaska broke . With the savings of a high school kid.
Not sure why my reply was deleted.
Damn man. Sorry to hear. You can overcome. Keep fighting. And keep moving forward.
The thought of getting back all our loses is what's never stop us from gambling. when in the first place if we never did try gambling, we wont be obsessed in getting back those loses.
Once we fall on the ground we have to get up again and again. You gain experienced from the gambling. Leave the past behind and start from now on. If you think about the past you can never go forward. Stay strong brother…
Rightly so, no shame
Many of us in the same spot as you including myself
I have not reach this stage and I don't intend to, I'm currently working with gambler's anonymous, its been paying off so far, am hopeful to progress from here
Peace and love brother, shalom.
Be strong ! same for me, i wish you the best
My dad lost it all and then some. He's well into his 50s. I watch this to try to understand how it is possible for him to have done this. Everything you describe i recognize in him. Thanks for sharing.
Hey, So sorry to her a bit Dad, but i appreciate you going out there trying to understand where he is coming from. Our stories are often sadly very similar.
When I was a child, my dad ( gambling addict ) took me and my brothers to casinos, bingo halls, etc. We had to stand outside of the rope, where the gambling machines were. At bingo, he even let me dob the cards as a 10 - 11 year old. It was a different time back then and I think he knew the owner. So they let me do that. Anyway, putting a naive, impressionable, easily manipulated child in that environment is hideous. Two of us three brothers became massive gambling addicts, as soon as we were of age. Not a coincidence obviously. I have a ton of debt right now and it makes me sick. Wish he had waited for mom to come home from work, then go gamble by himself. Leave us kids out of it. What a horrible addiction. Absolutely financial obliterating, stressful, depressing, life destroying illness 😭
I've never played in a casino but I'm losing my entire life savings because of a friend who was my business partner and I trusted him so much, he loosed all our money in casio, it's scary, I don't know what to do.
Thank you for making this bideo brother. Im suffering too. Ive been fighting this for a long time and im just trying to understand what im doing. I feel like i hate myself and when u said addicted to losing, it really made me think. Thats exactly what im doing. Im short on bills this month 🤦♂️ i dont know how im going to stop but i feel like your story will go a long way. Theres a lot of details i'd like to ask you about how and what type of bets you were doing if you see this message. Thanks again bro
Message me on Instagram Brother: Ramio1983.
Hello Ramey. I found this video in the middle of the night, at my lowest. Lost a shit load of money. Your video was a voice and I a pleased to say.... I no longer gamble! I'm scared to gamble! I changed my lifestyle, stopped smoking, eating healthy. I will never gamble again. I'm glad I lost so much money, and found you as it's changed everything for the better. Because of you. Thank you! 🙌
Thanks so much
What's FU&*$D is that the Australian Gov will do NOTHING to stop this and will continue to support it. I am 19 and been gambling for 2 years. Yes, I started frequently gambling at 17 and I can't see an end. I am here now after losing winnings that could of helped me. I am lost and I feel you, your not alone.
No government will stop it all around the world, it's all free money for them
Serious question what should the government do about your personal choices?
Holaaaaaa hermoso Habibi 😃 I'm always here for you! 🤗 We both know how hard it is to get rid of any type of addiccion, but please realize that it's during the most difficult times that we must have the most strength and plead to our heavenly father for his mercy and help. I completely know how you feel, we have many similarities as you and I know 🙂 Any type of addiction destroys us and All out surroundings. Thank you very much for sharing your current situation and opening up and I'm sure many can relate including myself. Insh'allah it will get better. I do admire your honesty and courage to speak up because that takes a LOT of guts Ramey! Sending you my warmest of abrazos 🤗 and besitos 💋
P.S I decided to delete my videos because I wasn't happy with none of them, but that doesn't mean that I won't upload anymore 😀😄
Hija mía escribiste un mensaje muy esperanzador y te felicito enormemente
@@mariluzmunoz2956 Amén madre hermosa 🤗 jamás se pierde la esperanza, Ramey va a salir bien de ésa situación Dios mediante Amén 🤍🤍🤍🕊️🤍🌼
It's super powerful to me what you shared about loving who you used to be. And that you used to be proud of who you were.
THat was me too.
Every day that I lose a battle with my gambling addiction, my self-respect and idea of self worth is lowered. I want to regain pride in myself!
I want to be proud of my decisions.. I want to go back to loving myself!
Im feeling like that too. Thats what brought me here. I feel like im so deep into it that i cant turn back. Always thinking of the next bet and how to get an edge. Its hard to even imagine my life without spirts gambling at this point
Thank you for sharing your video I've spent so much money I'm trying to get over it and recover
Just came here becuase I lost $10,000 gambling and I’m only 19 years old. It’s the most brutal thing ever. Ever since I became the legal age to gamble I’ve became addicted and trying to chase my loss which is only growing in a 5 month period. I know I’m a lot younger than you but I feel very similar to what you described in this video. Gambling has to be the worst and most brutal mental disorder possible. You’re not alone man. I do appreciate you making this video though, it gives me that little bit of hope I desperately need to get away from it and restart.
Hey mate $10,000 is a considerable amount, it hits hard and believe me, it only gets worse from here- unless you stop yourself in your tracks. Chasing these losses is a sick game where you just bury yourself deeper into a hole. Good news is your still young, so you have time to change and be successful. I have time too, but i must take aggressive action when saving and making smart financial choices. Glad you watched this man, take care.
Tje words that hit me hard is "addicted to losing".
This us exactly what i been like for over 20 years. I will stay in the club till i have nothing or enough to fix all my debts, nothing in between will do. For the first time in my life i feel im ready to give up and be serious about it. I only hope God helos ne and i actually succeed. But what scares me is stopping for months then blowing all my hard savings. Atm ive always been use to blowing my pay check, but to blow a big amount at once scares me to death. Thank you for your video, God bkess you Rami
God bless you man I pray and know your life will get better keep trudging
God Bless you too Bro, thanks so much.
You need to start loving your self Rami brother good things will start comes back to you!!! 🇺🇸 🇦🇫
Stay strong my brother 🙏🏾
You are not alone
Thanks Jim, it really really sucks Man, i hope for the best.
@@ramio1983 I came across your video today, after losing $800 on my way to work. I really hope the best for you, everyone makes mistakes. We're all still lovable and have value. I lost a total of 60k minimum since the age of 19. I'm now 30 years old with only 7k to my name living in an extremely expensive city. Think the best thing we can do is enjoy what we have and can in life new opportunities will come. You lose so much time, self worth gambling. Lean on God and soak in the presence YHWH Jesus helped me before and I know God can again
Recently I lost 8k my gf savings to start a small business. I was having like a heart attack or panic attack the moment of losing i duno wat it was. It was a big lesson for me. I felt nothing really matters more than your health and peace of mind, and your self respect. god forbid gambling for a reason. It destroy lives. The thing is, wats gone is gone..:( :/
That is it, we cannot gain what we have lost, it's gone, hoping youre starting steps to move forward and upwards.
Hit really hard when u talked about not knowing the person who u have become….I’m living it at 47 all savings gone plus loans etc….Pray for all
Ah Ray gambling is the gift that keeps on screwing you over. I had just quit for the last 4 months and two week ago i relapsed again, killed most of my savings again and the cycle begins and repeats, i am at wits end man, God save us all.
@@ramio1983 you relapsed brotha? Your story shows me if I don’t quit now, the devil will always temp me as well. Why don’t you do side hustles, the stock market is sort of like gambiling but you don’t constantly chase losses instead you do research to get it right. Uber eats, door dash. Driving gigs. Even the ones with millions struggle with gambiling and the ones with nothing also struggle. I maxed out my credit cards and drained my savings to 500$. That was in 5 days. I know you wanna stop I really do know because your videos tell me that. Stop thinking about it. Stop thinking of the money. It’s gone forever . Please brother. Please.
@@ramio1983 that's really sad man youre video was a year ago and you still didn't beat your addiction, please man just stop gambling bro.
It really is true..I’ve been through it..having to work late shifts long hours to be able to pay car insurance after blowing every single one of my whole paycheque into the casino
Stay strong brother, we are with u, really sad video
You are brave telling the truth. I believe we dont have free will. This means you were meant to have these experiences of gambling losses. Why maybe to learn to value money more or some other reason. I believe everything is written, it is our destiny. So dont feel bad this is your destiny to overcome gambling xx
Thanks for this message. I am addicted for life! I just gambled thousands & wanted to die for being an idiot! Back to GA. 😞. Stay strong Rami
powerful story, thank you for sharing
Hang in there bro,its a hard road but get up and fight again remember its only money you can get that all back, fix your self one day at a time:
Working from scratch is better than doing nothing at all . You are young and strong you can do it . 37 means that you are physically strong and well experienced.
You are such an amazing man. It takes a lot of courage to come to fully and honestly accept a mistake you’ve done, especially if it is a mistake you feel utterly guilty about. Hearing your story and how you feel about the situation you’ve put yourself in is very eye-opening. Seeing you want to make amends and change is inspirational. Allah is with you as long as you believe in his mercy. May He give us the strength to overcome our trials and may He make us of those who return to him content with how we’ve lived🤲
Thank you so much rikka, what a wonderful comment. Yes this was hard, so hard for me reveal, but its my reality and i can't fake my experience. I hope others can learn from my mistakes and of course i hope and pray that Allah guides me aright :)
Stay strong man I know how hard it is
It’s so sad… I wish you get your life back together ♥️
اسال الله لك بالهدايه ويطمن قلبك
I love you say the truth about gambling, move forward you can do it.
Thank you for sharing the details of how it has raped you. This shit doesn't just stop. I cant and won't stop myself. I've never had money in 43 years. Gambling addiction is the hardest shit I have tried to quit. I knew I had a problem in 2008. I've never had more than $1400. Money doesn't mean anything to me. I will not stop gambling. The hope of winning is too strong when it can come in a flurry. I can quit booze and dope but not gambling. I owe a load and have pawned heaps. If I could give up I dont know what I would do with the cash. I get anxious having money. You have given us a powerful confession. Thank you for making me feel emotions and the reality of this evil bullshit. I feel so foolish in letting it corner me over and over and over. I'm going to start trying again just from hearing you now. I'm going to try again. I need to let it go and feel the pain I am avoiding. I will try again. I'm getting better and my habits have changed. I have gold in my life already without the fake shit. I have been excersizing every day and I am lifting the stone.
gambling addiction is really bad problem you know when you win 2-5times you think you can get more and more and you think you can handle it and get away from it untill you messed up and realize you spend more than what you get before then you try again and again. i struggle with addiction in my life . i wasting my time and alot rack of money when i was younger i can get nice house if i wasn't gambling and drinkin but thing happend my wife leave me lost my house living with debt and now i'm continued my life living with my mom house in countryside and do farming , im lucky because i still have my mom if not i don't know whats my life isgoi right now, stop gambling man you still have time buddy. you're young dont fall on that shit. im the prime example the people who think they can handle it. my advice make saving container that you cannot see what inside when you can't control yourself put your money init and think thats you've already spend it burns you lost.
I’ve really suffered with gambling, mobile apps especially, I’ve lost thousands, recently I have signed up to GamStop, now I can’t even log into any betting apps, it doesn’t feel good even though I know I can’t bet, that’s the addiction and how it gets you, always wanting another spin.
Much needed. Sports Gambling is the worse.
Thank you for sharing this brother, every person have their regret. Its okay, so many lesson we can learn from it, come back to Allah, stay away from haram's haram things hurt us. Your sadness will erase your sin, be patient you are a strong kind person ♡
I was here 11 months ago, and today I replase, lose $100, but it hurts cause that's money for my moms birthday gifts, I hope I can get her something for 15th march
"You are not what happened to you, you are what you choose to become." -Carl Jung
I'm leaving my husband of 30 years due to his gambling. It's painful for everyone, the gambling the loved ones. No one is untouched. It's tough
Wow Renee that's deep, but its understandable, people have to put up with so much with us addicts and it really is not fair on anybody, i pray i can keep all my relationships but i can already feel them crumbling away.
We understand you big bro I feel your loneliness your pain and all that regrets but I know one day you can destroy that addiction. You're not the only ok there's more people who highly addicted to gamble worse than you. But they fight with their addiction and some of them succeed, and it's your turn now, your biggest win is to stop now and seek professional help it's not shame my bro you can beat it. I believe that you can do it!. May allah bless you ameen.
Thanks for understanding, it has been a difficult road and addiction is a very ugly thing. I hope and pray i can get out of this :)
Very difficult to listen to you. Thank you for this. And i was exactly in the same situation. Every emotion you express here is exactly what i went through thats how completr defeat looks like, however if you start now to not gamble miracles will happen to you really. Because that urge of money which gambling has developed in me i used in another field in professional field and from -150K dollars I am now + 200K so believe that if you somehow get over this and start to do right things it will have compound effect. I know how impossible now it may sound to you the same was me but it happened. Wish you all the best in your life man
Walaahi bro you are not alone it change me also so much that I stop praying tahajud and reading the Quran.
I am 18 years old. Helping me to Watch this. Have lost all my money, 15k sport betting. Has build up everything with my little buiness and i had over 13k in stocks, and now i have blowed everything and Even lost more then i can affort to lose
Exactly same, I’ll help you out
The Noble Prophet said: “Whosoever says to his companion: 'Come let us play a game of chance', should give charity (as atonement).” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
I really hate online casino. Now I have lost everything.loss around 10lakh on gambling within 3 month... I'm serving in Indian army, I took loan n I loss everything so I cannot smile again this days,.I feel moral down cos I cannot even help my mom. She is seriously fighting blood cancer. I wish I never learn gambling so that I could efficiently take care of my mom health. At times I had suicidal thoughts but I think again and again and I stop myself. This is my request to everyone please stop gambling. I am regreting now. Instead of throwing money in gambling Go and help your family.take good care of your family and stay blessed. Thank you
That was a painful read, i am sorry about all of that. However, its an important message for the World to see.
Hai...please stay strong ok..may god bless you
I can feel your pain 😢
Gambled from 19-24 sometimes 5 times a week. Luckily I wasn’t making much money back then but still lost over 100k over that time. Havnt been addicted in 8 years SO glad I learned my lesson young. You just got to accept you will never win that money back, the only way you win is by not going. Or get yourself kicked out of your local casino helps
So glad you beat this demon, honestly, all it does is eat you up inside out and destroy everything around you.
