I have a problem. I’m addicted to gambling. It all started with a few friendly games of poker playing with friends.
I thought it was fun and exciting, and I quickly became addicted.
I soon found myself visiting the local casino every night. I would play blackjack, roulette, and slots. I was able to win some money here and there, but I would always end up losing more than I won.
I tried to stop myself, but I couldn’t. It was like a compulsion.
I started borrowing money from friends and family in order to gamble. I was able to pay them back when I won, but that didn’t happen very often.
I soon started borrowing from loan sharks and money lenders. It was easy to get the money, but hard to pay it back.
I kept borrowing more and more money, until I had borrowed from more than ten different money lenders.
The interest rates were high and the repayment terms were strict. I was in way over my head, and I had no idea how I was going to pay them back.
I had to do something, so I decided to take out a loan from a bank. I was able to get a loan that was large enough to pay off all the money I had borrowed from the loan sharks and money lenders.
I was relieved, but I knew that I needed to stop gambling.
I was able to stay away from the casino for a few months, but it wasn’t long before I was back. I had to fight the urge every day, but I couldn’t do it.
I was eventually banned from the casino for not being able to control myself.
I had hit rock bottom. I had lost all my money and I was in debt to more than ten money lenders.
I was ashamed and embarrassed, and had no hope in life.
