Advice given to oneself is the best.

Only you can stop it yourself.

I had a relative who was a victim of gambling. She could win as much as 200k between the hours of PM to AM. She once gifted me 10k when she won 400k in 48hrs.

She could give one like 6 odds and play with 10k, 30k and wins. Hers is not those yeye try your unending luck.

But this January, something happened.

She called me and sobbing that the 250k she just won online was taken back online. She played online virtual very well.

She said, the more she wanted to stop, the more she staked. At a point, she asked herself what's wrong with herself but found herself staking more until all the money was gone. That was when she called me and cried.

Now, she has completely stopped it. She stopped it herself.

I just want to share my story to the world.
When I graduated, I was so blessed that I didn’t hurt for job, before I got one. I was working in the bank and was paid well, within a year I rented an apartment and got married, things was falling in place and I felt on top of the world before I started gambling, how I started it, I can’t explain. I lost all my resources and money within two years, I was sacked eventually and life became worst for me.
I got another job and promised my wife, family and kids to be a responsible father, but the urge for gambling keep coming, I couldn’t control the urge, I lost the job again.
My wife believed am a good man, but I see myself like am cursed and it is not that am getting money from the gambling.
I am sick and tired of life, I am a failure, sometimes I feel like committing suicide, I have brought shame to my family and kids.
Please I need help, am jobless, money can’t stay in my hand, I will go to gambling shop and lavish it.
Am I cursed, I need help

So you stole from the companies you worked for, they sacked you and now you can't get another employer because of reference?

Brother,

You can stop, though it is very hard but it can be done. From 2016 to 2019, I used to be in your shoe but by God's grace I have stopped. I had a bank job, lost it because of greed, put my wife and kids under much difficulties, I was building my house but I could not finish it again but God was still faithful. Even at that, I was still gambling. My family would send money and the next thought in my head was to gamble. I would win some and lose many and the urge was still there. I became depressed with life
I am not a saint but God helped me because I did not want to continue like that. My wife did not like me gambling from the beginning after she saw my first bet slip and I started hiding it from her. I have stopped finally now. Even when I see the bookies credit my account, I no dey even use am. They are enticing me but the urge is gone. I see people win but I am not moved. So you can stop.
With God, I am ok now and that is just it.

You can do it. Be determined and you can

I want to stop, I pray and cry to God daily
I can’t point to anything I have achieved at my age, I have lost everything,my car , my land , I am losing my marriage.
Everyday I just wish God can take me away, emotionally down
what type of gambling... Is it sports bet or casino

One thing I know is that many gamblers don't turn useful... They are like cocain addicts

Please stop gambling, it ruins
Re: How I Lost My Job Through Gambling & Becoming An Irresponsible Father by Nobody: 1:08pm On Feb 15, 2022
U did not tell us how gambling made u to lose the jobs.
Did u use company money play gamble and they sack you or they sack u based on incompetence and lack of commitment to your job?
Or were u caught in betting shop while on duty?
I don't think gambling made u to lose ur job.

Go on a long fast and pray.... The long fast helps to kick addictions out... Pray fervently for deliverance bro..

You're not a bad person or cursed. It's a mental health issue that needs divine intervention

Prayer!

Try this and see, any day you have money and you are tempted to go and gamble, try not to go and don't keep the money, go inside a boutique and get cloth for your wife, if the money can't get her a cloth, get her pant or brazier, let her wear it and if you truly care about her and your children, you will be happy seeing how beautiful she looks in that new gift and believe me, your wife will gradually turn to your prayer warrior without knowing. Even if na person dey do you, the person will have to contend with your wife to get to you and if it is nature or general course, God gives quick answer to women's cry for help because they cry with all their heart when they must cry.

Dear Nigerians especially O.P

ADDICTION IS A SICKNESS JUST LIKE MALARIA, TYPHOID AND COVID 19, and not a CURSE

The cure of Gambling Addiction is not PRAYERS.
The cure of Gambling Addiction is not SUICIDE.
The cure of Gambling Addiction is not VILLAGE PEOPLE.

The Scientific proven global cure of GAMBLING ADDICTION is MENTAL REHABILITATION THROUGH PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELLING

Goto any Government medical centre, teaching hospital, or mental health specialist

The cure is cheaper than you think

Hope is not lost dear brother!
You have been lucky enough to have had two good jobs in this Nigeria that some of your classmates are still jobless.
You seem to have something that employers want, so you'll still find a job.
You are honest enough to acknowledge your issues.
You know that your weakness is gambling.
Please stay faraway from gambling.
Flee from gambling friends.
Remember that you have a family that look up to you, focus on your family, and do not allow yourself to be distracted by your craving for gambling.
Your life is completely in your hands, now, rehabilitate yourself.
Good luck.

Right now, what you need is not a job. Go for Rehabilitation and heal from your gambling addiction first before looking for another job.

Thank God you have a patient and understanding wife to support you.

sad Even though I'm a born again Christian, I think you are suffering from spiritual attacks. We Christians tend to gamble more because our religion is very permissible and habours many bad acts unlike our Muslim brothers who are guided by the tenets of Islam. sad

Are you really sure you are Christian?
Which Christianity permit you to harbour bad acts?

Op, you need divine intervention in your life. You need to give your to Christ and possibly go for deliverance prayer, so any spiritual influence over your life can be broken.

God bless you.

I use yo play virtual sport bet. One day after winning, I just told my self that, that was the last day. I am going to play Virtual and I will just be playing sport bet alone. I have stopped virtual even the sport bet, no dey move me again.
Thank your star. Probably you have someone silently praying for you. Addiction is not easily broken and in most cases, these things happen beyond physical.
It is childish to believe in the existence of God but denied that of devil even when God through his words made us to understand that devil exist. So don't blame OP, in some cases, things are not the way we think.

Gambling have to do with the self. Is a try your luck thing, is not by force thing of which you know before diving into it. Bro,no one will tell me that one can be addicted to bet/ gambling that I will bliv. I do gamble only when I want to catch fun,if happen it drops,then glory glory to God. Nothing more! I will like to ask,how much do you use to stake?

Bro, this got nothing to do with the spiritual at all. He chooses to be a gambler as a matter of fact to become Obi Cubana.
