"I don't know how long I was alone in front of the computer screen, I didn't want to do anything, I didn't have the heart to do it, and my mind was blank. The ashtray was full, and the room was full of smoke. The pain in my heart is the most unbearable!

Just now, I lost more than tens of thousands of dollars on my bank card again. I don't remember tens of thousands of dollars.

No one is born a gambler"I'm just gambling and playing, not playing big, and leaving when I win", those who lost their families and ruined their families thought this way at first, but why did they end up in a deep depression?

There are two major tragedies in life, one is that all thoughts are lost, and the other is full of ambition。This phrase is most appropriate for gambling.

Every gambler who has won a lot of money feels that he is gifted and believes that he is favored by the god of luck. But only the owner of the casino understands where to win and eventually return it, because once you get involved in gambling, it is difficult to quit again.

The terrible thing about gambling is not that it loses money itself, but that it can completely eat away at people's minds. What's really addictive is the process of ups and downs, where money can be gained or lost in an instant for the next five to ten years, and the tension and pleasure are like drugs, making it difficult for those who are deeply involved to extricate themselves.

Once money comes too quickly and easily, people will spend lavishly, so that it is difficult to tolerate the low remuneration of labor, such people will generally become extremely lazy and want to get something for nothing. And I don't have the ability to get more rewards, so it's easy to go to extremes in everything, and eventually I will be forced to do some illegal things by life.

Because they don't have any money, they will find ways to borrow money from various places, first family, then relatives and friends, and they will involve everyone around them in this whirlpool, and even kill their family members miserably.

But every penny he gets, he wants to go to the casino and then go to the future again, because the pleasure of making a lot of money in an instant lingers in his mind, and he may have a good idea, go to the casino first to make a sum of money and pay back the borrowed money first.

But once he enters, even if he starts to win, he will lose in the end, and that greed has become a part of him, so he can't get out.

So why gamble? Maybe it's because you need money so much! It's like a drowning man grasping at a straw. If he wasn't drowning, he wouldn't have treated a straw as a lump. ”True gamblers use gambling as a straw to change their fate, and the results can be imagined.

A gambler's gambling addiction is like an Internet addiction to the Internet and a smoker's addiction.

It's hard to quit, and it's easy**.

As long as a person's will is not firm in the slightest, he will soon embark on that road of no return.

Too many people choose to commit suicide because of this drag on their families.

Although the technology of quitting gambling is becoming more and more perfect, how can you quit gambling so easily when your family is ruined and all your money has been lost.

Refusing to gamble should start from the beginning, and when we realize that this is an abyss at the beginning, we should seek help from friends and family in time.
