GET yaself BUSY is the only solution bro..your story is very similar to mine

thank you. Knowing that people have passed through the same problem and came out of it is giving me a very big hope and determination. Thank you so much bro

Admin401:
You should kill yourself because you are hurting the people around you. I'm sure your parents haven't done anything to deserve the kind of pain you are causing them. Think about it this way, by killing yourself - even though your parents will feel pain at your demise - you are actually saving them from years of pain and agony watching their own son wither away from what you call 'virtual' ( I don't even know what that means) I don't want you to think I'm being harsh on you but for once, put your parents needs first and not yours, you ungrateful bastard.

seriously bro no jokes when i say thank you for this your post. After reading all the condemnations. I feel like something has been lifted off me. I feel clearer about my past now. Right now i so much hate myself. I just thought of everything i have done. I have never been this sober in my life before. From the bottom of my heart, Thanks a million for this post.

zlantanfan:
firstly you have taken a good step to acknowledge you have a problem, next that same conviction needs to always remind you subconsiosly that virtual is bad for you.

If you can find a way to go back to sch( a new sch and environment) even if its college of edu, try to get busy as much as you can with a new hobby becos gambling has become your passion and hubby.

In the build up don't allow so much money pass through you and try to go to church more and meet people who are making efforts to progress.

Forget your old friends, just build a new environment and ideology.

If you need more I can continue

yes please. Thank you so much. I need all the help i can get. Thank you so much.

i was disappointed when i saw you wasted your years in school, stole and everything yet your family especially your mum forgave you and cried and after seeing her tears, you still went back to play it again...

Bro, i can categorically tell you that you are just a selfish person!!!

You are not addicted to gambling, rather you are selfish and heartless for making your mum cry and still tryna do it again

bro i deserve all the insults. I like what i am getting. Because somehow the condemnation i am getting here has made me reflect on my past and my mother's feeling the day i told her. The condemnations are making me feel sober.

Right now, i feel so much clearer in my head. I feel like something has been lifted off. I hate myself now after reflecting all i have done. No jokes Seriously i thank you for this.

@
organism000 i could not quote your whole post. I think what you said is true. Whenever i am playing, i get this feeling of high in my system. When i loose, i increase the amount. The higher the amount, the bigger the feeling of highness i get. How can this be possible. Please help me

Whizzahd:
No.... This thing too much. You were stupid, very stupid to have gotten so oo addicted. I can't even believe that someone could get this addicted to something... No.. I don't believe this story. It's just a ploy to make people stop virtual betting. And it's a good one...

brother please if you can help me please do. i am tired and frustrated. 4 years wasted. At my age i have no life plans. I need help. Please believe me

KingOfAmebo:


The title of your post says bet9ja but your story says nairabet...two different betting companies, at least be specific on which one got you into trouble. Stop confusing the confusion.

I initially started with nairabet but when they packed. i started using bet9ja. I lost both to nairabet and bet9ja. believe what i am saying. i am frustrated

KingOfAmebo:


Bro, you story started on a sad note but this last episode is beginning to look like its a big fat lie being cooked up by you to gain public sympathy or a way of getting back to the betting shops cuz of a bad deal or a terrible loose...which ever way, remember that not everyone can be fooled.

brother i know you would not believe. What do i gain from lying. You dont gamble i get you. You have no idea what virtual can do. Please if you help me. Please do. I am not lying. I need help. Thank you for your understanding

thank you bro. Please how did you quit. How did you stop. I need determination. Please help me

latexxbro:
I seriously don't know how this becoming addictive to something like this happens but I believe I have control over my life,First of the you have passed the first stage ehichbis to admit you have a problem and the second stage that u want to stop and now the last stage is just simple ,TO STOP.
well maybe whenever you want to goto a virtual house ,Go with a little amount of money,and also really try avoiding going there, Actually most people reason of gambling is for money but tour case seems different because ur parents do give u money...try going there three times a week and reduce the amount of time u spend there....Actually I have a a lot to say but reading advice on line like this doesn't really work on people that are addictive....Maybe try to tell a good friend you trust or make friend with your pastor,I'm sure he will give a better advice....

i cant even tell anybody my situation. I cant stand The look of disappointment on their faces but i want to quit.

Xtine22:

bro, don't give up! continue playing as you may chop 50m one day to recover ur losses.... always play sure game

thank you but i am done. Virtual has put my life 5 years behind. I want a new life. I want to quit.

Tolax17:
It's alarming how many young men are wasting their dear life, resources and time on gambling. You want to earn what you didn't work for. You're a fraud.
Thousands of young men play bets, how many have become millionaires- red flag
I can never pity someone like you. What you planted, you're ripping!

You need rehab

i deserve all the insults on earth i know but i want to quit. I need help. I need recovery processes. I am tired and frustrated. The deed has already been done. I want to get my life back.

DJHANDSOME:
Gambling is addictive and draining too. Just like drugs .
You could still pull your life back together, it's not the end of the world bro.

please were you addicted to virtual before. How did you overcome it. I cant stay a minute without thinking about my life and money i have lost. Right now, my heartbeat is above normal. I am so frustrated. Please help me.

CaptJeffry:
You must be a stupid gambler. I gamble in Vegas whenever I spend a weekend there but I stick to my limits.

Anyway why am I wasting my time when you might just be a random scammer.

seriously bro. You think i am joking. Did i beg you for money. All i need are the recovery processes to get my life back. I am frustrated. Thank you for your understanding

Well, i took last jamb, i passed very
well to the joy of everybody. They thought i was back to being
normal but secretly i was still playing
virtual. Virtual has eaten deep in my blood. All the money i managed to save
before the jamb period while at home
still ended up in virtual. I want to stop but i cant. Fast forward everything to today the
7th of july. I took the money for my
post utme form to play virtual. My heartbeat was felt by the person
close to me when i lost the last kobo i
came with. Till now i have not
stopped thinking, nobody knows. now
i am thinking how to get the money
back. I am a dead man alive. Gambling has eaten deep into my
soul. i am finished. I AM TIRED AND FRUSTRATED,
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME. I
WANT TO STOP. I WANT TO HAVE MY LIFE BACK
TOGETHER. PLEASE HELP ME IF
YOU HAVE HAD SIMILAR
EXPERIENCE. I AM DYING SLOWLY. I NEED
HELP. TODAY I HAVE PUT A
STOP TO IT. GOD HELP ME.
PLEASE
HOW CAN I QUIT FOREVER

My friends, i became useless. No good clothes, no property, no certificate to hold in the end. While my mates left for class, i go to the virtual store to watch others play. From 2014 till now i stayed in school, 3 years of it was allocated to virtual gambling. 1 year was to hang around chasing girls. I became unpurposeful. I lied to everybody that i was in school while i was not. If i should continue writing, nairaland would not be enough to write what virtual has done to me. My life is useless now, my mates are graduating. All my friends have left the school. So last year, i could not hold on to the lies much longer because final year was fast approaching. What will i say then. So i took the courage and broke the sad news. I am from a very responsible home. I was accepted back in the family. My mother cried so much. She could not believe 4 years of my life wasted. My friend, i almost developed high blood pressure. I started masturbating to relieve my stress but never helped.

The day my life become glaring was in 2017, my friend gave me 30000 to hold for him. He was going for a party. Deep in my mind, i was happy. Before he came back the next day, i rushed to bet shop to play virtual. Dear reader, i lost 20000 out of the money. I didnt sleep in the hostel for two days. I slept at the bus stop at my school maingate. I went back the next day with my remaining 10000 thinking of wining everything back and that was the end. All the money wiped away. Out of shame and embarrassment, i sneaked into the hostel at night few days later after being tired of running. I received the insult of my life that day, but still i never stopped, i continued playing and selling properties. The way i got the money to pay back, only God will forgive me of that. I had to do what i did because my friend threatened to call my parents. I could not stand that. I wish my parents were informed then maybe my life would have been much better now.

I started wearing my friends clothes. Hunger and pains never departed from me. But i kept on playing virtual wasting my life. I sold all my properties to the state where i had just one jeans and few old shirts. Even when i won big amounts, instead of using the money for myself. The next day i will go back to bet shop and loose everything again. All these while, i still go home to take food stuff and money even though i was not a registered student. I was scared to tell my parents of the happenings in my life. My life became useless. I started visiting brothels and going out with my friends to smoke. Dear reader, i have suffered in this life. Some of my friends abandoned me because of the way my life became. I became a laughing stock and deemed worthless. Still i kept on playing. Its like my brain was locked in a bottle. I stole, borrowed money all to gamble in virtual. I spent people's money to gamble. I became a vagabond. All the money being sent to me in school, virtual took

Please try and read to the end. I am a young guy early twenties. I have been playing virtual since 2014. I was never this useless and unpurposeful. My life changed when i entered university. It all started in 2014 when i walked into a nairabet close to my school and saw people playing virtual. I decided to play, as i remember i won that period. I never knew the day i started was the day i gave the devil the key to my life. In 2014, i spent my school fees on virtual, lost everything. Sold my phones, my feeding money and everything. All went to virtual. So i was not able to continue my education, though i remained in school not letting my parents know till this year. Dear reader, from 2014 to date have been the worst years of my life. I stole to play virtual, sold my properties, my clothes, shoes. I became an addict. Even not being a formal student, i still collected money from my parents, school fees and allowance. Everything ends up in virtual house. I could not even buy good clothes.

I am glad you have made that decision already.
So you still won 40K less than 2 weeks ago?
Anyways, forget about all you have lost in the past, that is the NUMBER ONE thing gambling does to you, (let me recover the money I have lost I have lost and I will stop) then the losing streak goes on and on.
Forget all that you have lost in the past and concentrate on the future.
Wish you all the very best.

thanks for your encouragement. I truly appreciate. God bless you sir.

Emekus92:
u don't need advice from any1.

ur mother's tears is enough 4 u to know that what you did is wrong.

u started this on ur own. u can quit on ur own.

u just have to make a promise to urself and be faithful to it. U hv played this thing for Years and no favor has come from it instead it is killing u yet u r still playing it. it simply means u r enjoying the torture.

Set ur mind straight and do the right thing. make ur mind up to quit

thank you so much for your advice. Each time i think of all the properties i have sold, my phones, everything. Then i get this feeling to play again, this time to win money just to buy myself a good phone and then quit but instead i would loose the little money i came with. But today, god help me i have marked this date. I have decided to quit for my own good and pick what is left of my life and move on. Thanks once again.

post=69178501:

You should make sure you NEVER STEP INTO ANY SHOP AGAIN, do that , you will overcome it.
This is so sad.

thanks so much bro. I have been chasing my losses. I keep saying that once i win everything i have lost, i quit. But i keep on losing losing losing. Everything i have lost to date, if i am not too exaggerating would add up close to a million or over 500k. Today i still lost my post utme money. Now i am thinking of how to get it tomorrow so i can go get the form by monday.

I dont know what my problem is. To think that i even won about 40000 late last month and everything is now gone again. Didnt buy clothes, i didnt even feed from the money. I gave it all back to them the same way they gave it to me. I have sworn to God, if i get the money tomorrow and i play again. let thunder strike me dead for real. this is not the life i planned for myself. i just cant imagine what i am today. I pray i get my life back. Thanks for your understanding.

I DonT Think You Have Been Good Friends Around You To Talk You Out Of It, Or Maybe They Did, Good Your Eyes Are Now Open, You Need To Go Back Home, You Have To Start All Over

i wish starting over was the only problem i have in my life right now, i would be so much happy.

I litterally have nothing in this life again except family. No good clothes, gadgets, no life plans at my age. Brother virtual has touched the deepest part of my soul. I have no emotions. I get very angry over little things. Nothing to show that i exist. I cant remember the last time my phone rung. All the friends i made in school have all graduated and moved on with their lives. Except for family, dear friend i am alone in this world right now.

Cursed be the day i started virtual gambling. i am ruined.

blessedvisky:
Why don't you sell the phone you used to post this, then IMMEDIATELY use the money to obtain the rest.

Quote me if you need more ideas. I'm in a good mood tonii

i dont even have a good phone. the phone i am using now is java. the last time i bought an android phone was in 2016.

Please help me. I am serious. All i wrote is just a drop of water in the ocean. I have seen hell on earth. Right now my heartbeat is still high. I am afraid of developing high blood pressure at my young age. I dont want to die. Please
