Help! I'm addicted but I can't help losing.

I'm totally angry and mortified by the fact that I took my whole paycheck this month and slashed it in half on online blackjack and casinos. I've been on the RTG gaming spree and I can't stop. I'm down to 500 dollars and I'm totally scared I'd like to make gambling a healthy lifestyle for me but the fact that I keep losing on BlackJack keeps me coming back for more.

I guess I don't have self control. I used to be an alcoholic but I can control that now. But for some reason I keep coming back to the online tables. It's just so frustrating sometimes that I walk away empty handed.

I guess I'm asking for anyone's help to have me see the full spectrum of blackjack. I've been playing and I do get some decent returns only to blow it all back because I want more winnings.

I've been to Vegas and that feeling of gambling has sticked with me.

Anything to help me set up a self control system or how i should play table games and such would help a lot.

If you feel that you have a gambling addiction, I would highly suggest that you contact the help lines for the governing Gaming commission in your area. They have programs to help you overcome addictions, and are able to help you restrict your ability to play in a casino.

Thanks. I'm gonna look that up right now.

Hey if you really want to kick the habit look up Gambler's Anonymous. It's never too late to get help for gambling problems. Take care of yourself.

Lmao that was good.

yeah, he seems to not like walking away empty handed..but still wants to shave the next morning.

Hmmmmm. Sorry to doubt you new member.
That last sentence tells me that this post is not the work of a genuine, mature adult. It's somewhat similar to what we might have expected from Kentry.

One is unlikely to say I used to be an alcholic. Anyone brave enough to admit that problem would refer to themselves as still being a 'recovering alcoholic' or as an 'alchohlic who quit drinking'.

All that said. To anyone who visits this forum angry with their own self confessed addiction to gambling will not find what he needs here. He'd never be able to learn to be a winner or advantage player. He'll never 'make gambling a healthy lifestyle' That would be a stupid aspiration. He would be well advised to self ban from his casino of choice, refer himself to a gambling addiction service. Money that is lost is lost. let that be the epitaph to your habit.

Gambling can be entertainment, but it comes at a price. The player sets his budget and so sets the price. If it stops being fun, stop.

Not sure why I'm responding to this because its probably just a trollish post.

Admitting you have a gambling problem on a gaming forum is grounds for banishment, we have seen it before.

This forum is counter productive for gambleholics.

Since you did find this site, let's point you in the right direction. Try this.... Gambling Addiction & Recovery Support Group http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Gambling_Addiction/forum/21221585-havent-been.
and quit mucking up this forum where responsible people like talk about fun responsible gaming related activities. You probably won't get much support here.

The only thing worst than having a gambling addiction is having an ONLINE gambling addiction.

The Blackjack is probably rigged. However if you do happen to win there's some significant potential for getting no paid. Even on a reputable site, because I have no doubt you won't read and follow all the T&C's, therefor having your winnings voided.

Hold on, I thought you said you gave your family your debit card or something like that? How are you funding your online account?

You should have your money directly deposited into a family members account and restrict you from spending it.

If you feel the need for action, there is many no risk options like MyVegas(https://www.facebook.com/myvegas/)

Or free online casino bonuses(http://www.latestcasinobonuses.com/nodepositcasinobonus.html.)

There's more than enough free "worthwhile" gambling related stuff to keep you busy. It can actually earn you something.
My GF gets free stuff all the time including Walmart, Amazon and various gift cards.

Axel- you put way too much though my into that for a fake post- clearly he is related to the back entry man

If the OP is serious, and he went for help with alcoholism, what the?

Did they tell you about your drinking that you could just cut down? Whether you quit totally or not, you know darn well the persistent advice is to quit drinking altogether - your only hope probably.

Did they tell you to go into a bar, find people who seem to be able to drink responsibly, and ask them how they do it? No, nobody told you that.

Why do you think you are going to hear anything different about your gambling problem?

It does suggest your post is to just get attention.

Either way- the nuke hammer is close

It's really quite amazing to me that someone can be so sociopathic as to feel the need to repeatedly disrupt a forum like this.

It's just effing annoying but that's what they want- must have some great life
