I really need ur advices, coz i am thinking of taking my life my self if I can't get over this stuff by 5pm today...


I am a student of a public university in Nigeria,
300l economics,
I am addicted to gambling (bet9ja virtual to be precise), I have tried many times to stop this stuff but it is not working out, and is putting me into debts...

I just need ur advices coz I am fed up with life because of this virtual...

I know taking my life is not the best answer but at least, is gonna to save me from seeing the disgrace I have brought to my self and parents...

Fenks in anticipation..

Don't take your life, I know you're playing bet9javirtual to make money, let's say to feed at least.. I'll advice you quit virtual, and stick to normal match system, you could make a fortune from it one day(if you'll eventually make it from.it sha) quit virtual.. I gamble too.. Lost MILLIONS on virtual too .. All in all.. If it gambling doesn't favour you.. Then quit it.. Make up your mind to quit, when you're determined to quit, you'll quit !!! Engage in other activities that'll take your time

who is this fool You even had to create a sympathetic moniker so probably people can PM you to render financial assistance so you won't kill yourself. Did bet9ja place a gun to your head that you must gamble by force? Haven't you heard of responsible Gaming You are not really addicted as you make it seem cos if truly you would have sold your phone to stake on virtuals and have no means to create this nonsense thread

You won't quit if you don't reduce your zest for football. Stay away from football. Start doing other productive things on match days. Don't go to where they watch matches. Track your development and see of you are making progress. In the end you will realize you are wasting your youthful life on something that has no value for you; football. You will argue with me that it is an entertainment for you but it is killing you already. There are other things to entertain yourself with. Go and read. Sign up to Quora and medium.com.
Lastly, your peers, change them if they are a pressure to you.

When I was in university for my first degree, the knowledge that my sole responsibility was studying hard and that the time to work and make money would come obviated me from betting.

There is time for everything. You are in school and you need to read, not bet.

Consult ur village ppl.

A man told me: "Anything you don't have power over or you can't stop is SPIRITUAL"
Those words have helped me and those i talked too about addiction.

First tell yourself the truth:

What is the habit doing for you right now?

Because unless your priorities change, the cycle will keep repeating itself

You are so valuable so reject the thought of ending it all.

Be open with your creditors. Owing money isn't the unpardonable sin.

Talk to someone your parents respect, maybe an uncle or a priest. Appeal to them for help and understanding. Don't be afraid of any harsh words they may speak.

Don't give up. This is just a chapter in your story.

How do you want the next chapter to be?

It starts with choosing new priorities...

Two up two down goal goal if you know you know play me big

Hmmmm

Virtual is a life ruiner. Until you quit, you'll never know what freedom tastes like.

Simply find another addiction to take its place this time something more productive like reading, exercise and the rest..

As you are a student, I want to recommend a book for you to read.

Addictions can hardly be created or destroyed but can easily be changed from one form to another.
That said, search meaningfully for another positive addition.

The mind want pleasure, Addiction to gambling is giving the mind pleasure at your own detrimental effect but In the real sense you are actually addicted to making money at all cost, which has turn to a desire, and since your mind has think the easier way to make that money Is thought betting, it won't allow you to rest.. because of the extreme desire to make money,,,

The solution is Stop trying to making more money for now,, later you can convince your mind to look at other easy way to make money

Everyone want Money !!! Look for the best way to make , Don't hurt yourself, it normal

This is pure evil

Am addicted to pussy...

Hmmmmm

You can't stop it,just limit how often you play it.let's say,budget 500monthly for betting and dont exceed it...i have lost more than 400k in sports betting

I laughed when i see people saying they cant stop something they were addicted to. True of the matter is that, humans tend to continue doing a particular thing as long as they still have the resources, will or chances to do it.

Nothing can help you until you start having a lot of responsibilities, gone broke and have no other means to borrow or steal.

OP, I understand your concern and share your plight. Regardless of whatever the circumstance might be please suicide is not and never optional.

I congratulate you because you have broken the addiction by 50% for coming out to seek for helpful advise...good one!

However, for the remaining solution it will depend on your Mind..

Addiction is a thing of the mind. Please note that your freedom won't be easy but IF you are determined and make up your mind you will win the battle.

The practical steps to take are;

Ask yourself why am I into gambling? I know the primary reason why most people indulge in gambling is for financial freedom... Hear me, no freedom comes from gambling but rather bondage, depression, anger, poverty and penury. It's a pure lie that you can make it from gambling... Never! Rather you bring upon yourself pain, agony, sleepness night, debt-ridden life and loss of self value. You need to absorb this fact and change your mindset...

Live within your means... Forget all this flashy lifestyle of young ones this days all in the quest of showing off...it's all fake and will soon go away with the wind because it's never through genuine hardwork the money was made...Also, discourage yourself from borrowing. Debt is bad! Anytime you borrow you become a slave to the creditor.

Check your spending habit... What consumes your money, is it productive? Does it add value to your life? Are you the type that earns N100 and spend N120? This habit must stop.

Make access to money difficult-- only hold the cash you need at a time. You can form the habit of keeping your money--idle or unused funds in an account without Atm card or internet banking making it difficult for you to access. This is to control the urge to withdraw and use it on gambling.

Disconnect from friends that always encourage or sees nothing evil in gambling. They want to ruin your life.

Resist family or peer pressure... Stay in your lane. Learn to say NO to family demands or matching up with friends... Don't compare yourself with anyone. You are unique. Run your own race. The sky is big enough for birds to fly.

Seek divine help--lastly, I will advise you also pray whilst you put the above steps into action.

My one cent.
