Celebrating 40 Days Without Gambling After Losing Over N10million -hardmirror by HardMirror(m): 6:21pm On Jul 26, 2022
Since 2014, I finally made it to 40 days without gambling.
I want to advice every young man out there, PLEASE DO NOT START GAMBLING, dont let stories of people winning big tempt you. I know on this thread many people will come and tell you how they use one strategy or another to constantly win. I hope you do not learn the hard way.

I have lost over 10 million since 2014. I know a lawyer in Owerri, he is even very popular, has police escorts and all, he is a family friend. he has lost hundreds of millions to betting. This man is now a shadow of himself. i remember the month this man won about 54 million (with about 6 different tickets) he bought drinks for all of us and we celebrated at R&A hotel at Allen, but today this man don wreck o. i dont want to give details so it wont be like i am mocking him. Bet9ja has collected more than 10 times that N54million from this man. This is a man that sponsors politicians in Imo state, he is now almost a disgrace.

I have learned my own lesson too. Never again.

40 days is very special to me because, I used to bet EVERYDAY. it was like cocaine to me. The more i did not bet a day the more i was determined not to break my abstinence.

P.S. it is not God or prayers that helped me stop. I am an Atheist and my sister that i confided in that is helping me focus is also an atheist.
Prayers may work for you if you fear and respect god enough, but for me I have reached a point anything betting irritates me.

There is a nairalander here that we started a crypto company together. everything was going well. do you know what made the company collapse. Me.

We got an Australian man who wanted to buy the company for $2 million. I was supposed to have registered this company with a Singapore business licence. but I had used all the money i had to gamble.

you may think gambling is blessing you, but the truth is, it is distracting you from your real potential. You will not have better hustle because you think betting is giving you enough.

There Is nothing really wrong with betting. You are solely your own problem which Is Addiction. Addiction can be very deadly. I usually play betting strictly soccer but not often, It's been four months I gambled last. Sometimes I even play and wouldn't check the outcome for days. "Addiction" Is the main problem of you and your lawyer friend. I hate to be addicted to anything, I can change anytime. In most cases, Any activity I engage In for a period of time and It doesn't favor me, I usually abandoned It eventually. I'm very adventurous..

Your situation sounds like mine. I work In one of the multinationals firm. I'm a very disciplined and principled human being. I have limits to what I can stake on betting no matter how sure the game Is and and how many game I stake on per day and week. Once I reached my threshold either win or lose, I close shop Immediately..

Lol here we have It at the bolded. The bolded have sent some people to their early grave and relegated many people Into the Abyss. I know for sure this Is what would have caused your predicaments. I have been on "Football Betting Thread" as far back as 2010..

Since gambling addiction is a sickness of sorts of the mind, you could look into finding an Ibogaine clinic where you could receive ibogaine treatment which is said to cure all kinds of addictions. undecided
