I'm about to kill myself.

I've gone through 20 years of this.  Lost too much and about to lose my family and livelihood because of it.  Good luck all and goodbye.

Easy...don't get crazy.

Lose your family and livelihood? 

what happened?

i lost my family and all my money so i stop, no need to kill yourself.

In all seriousness if you need someone to talk to I will PM you my phone number, I have been through many situations involving suicide personally and with friends. 

Well done that man. There are MANY addicts on this website. Who knows how serious this comment is....

It's a shame. You may not get your wife back but don"t ever give up on yuo're kids. They need you. 1 day at a time now and it will take awhile. GL

Bro......this isnt worth killing yourself no matter how much u may have put yourself in a hole. Your kids need their father

A lot of people on here saying to just quit which of course would be great, but we all know it isn't easy

My advice, there are things you can do to keep the rush but not expose yourself every day

One thing I am doing now after years and years of gambling is only making long term and futures bets like office pools and win totals bets.  This does two important things:

-It keeps you from putting up money you will need for rent or bills because it is a long term bet with a delayed payout.  Doesn't matter how much of a degenerate we are, we won't put up $500 in next weeks rent if the payout won't be until 2 months from now. 

-It gives you action every week without putting up money every week.  I can honestly say the rush on my long term futures bets are quite similar to what my one game bets were.

Like many said in here, quitting gambling is the best option, but it mat not be realistic right away.  The things I pointed out in this post allow you to keep the rush and greatly reduce the risk of losing rent, food, and bill money.  If you are like me and many others, this rush is why you gamble.

Nothing is never as bad as it seems bro ..... 

praying all will be good with you and family

 

F it im out too 

I lost $15,000 yesterday.  If you didn't, look, someone has it worse.  So don't kill yerself bro.  Sounds like you have a lot to live for.  You can make back the money.  Maybe we could put something together where we all throw in $10 and you get the money you need.

Think about your children.

Guys thanks for showing this man your support  I was expecting to read some rude comments and im glad people show support !!  Demps everything will be ok man just relax and let time to tAke care of things. Everything will be fine!! No need to kill yourself man your kids need you no matter what your addictions are they will always be there for you

bad addiction go for help ...the average gambler loses 8 to10gs a year a heavy gambler loses 30 to 40 gs a year.

Let's all stop before its too late!

i hope what your saying is not a hoax....think of the positive things in your life. like those kids. they must be an amazing part of your life. I've had some rough spots too. but nothing worth doing something this drastic. just like the other person said if you need someone to talk to just ask ill give you my number and maybe i can help you through some of your problems. it sounds like you need some positive advice.

God Bless you.  Think about your kids before you you anything crazy man.  No matter what they still need a father.  

please tell me your not serious

Contests are the way to go. Your loss is limited to your entry fee and it's just as fun - maybe more.

Lower your bet amounts by a lot and put the difference in your kids' bank accounts. You'll still have action and be doing something awesome for your kids. I don't bet a huge amount each week but I know that sick feeling of losing (especially 2 or more losing weeks in a row) but not worth what you're planning to do. Also, seek professional help if you need it,
