It starts out great, a few wins here and there and the excitement but pretty soon, without you knowing it starts to take a grip on you. Denial sets in when you lie and you cover the addiction to family and friends, because basically you don’t wanna stop. You start to plan your next gambling adventure, you next session, you forget and then lose your interests and hobbies, you forget your morals and your own standards as a person as the addiction takes holds, and you simply feed it, never yourself.

It slowly starts to eat away at your self-esteem, your confidence and any belief you had in yourself. You live when you gamble, you feel and everything is gonna be ok, but you always, always lose, you have to if your a compulsive gambler and you then let go of so much anger and frustration, but you blame yourself for being so stupid and worthless, you feel like a nothing and then you have to play again to feel anything and feel good about yourself. Gambling is a great way to feel like a something, and a great way to make you feel like a nobody.
