how do i get over a sports betting addiction? i've lost

>>75890084
Move to a country where degeneracy like that is illegal

keep gambling. youre bound to win that back sooner or later.

Start doing heroin

>>75890110
i can't.

i have a good job here and i don't want to give it up

>>75890118
you see, this is what i thought. it's my entire mindset every single fucking time i deposit more and more money into the account to bet

>>75890124
no thanks

>>75890137
Go to rehab or gamblers anonymous. Sounds like your in to deep to pull out by yourself

>>75890180
these kind of things don't exist here in the UK

>>75890201

Literally first result on google. Sounds like you are not really commited to quitting so good luck being in debt and losing your job and family

>>75890248
sorry my actual point was that GA/AA any other type of "___ anonymous" follows the 12 step program and is full of pseudoscientitfic and religious bullshit

>>75890275
That is true to an extent but is an excuse people make to not give it a shot. The important thing is being around people who understand your struggle and are actively trying to stop gambling. Worth a shot of you cant kick it on your own pr cant take time off to go to rehab. Your other option is essentially "just stop gambling"

>reddit spacing

Your only way out is going an hero.

>>75890084
Accept you have a serious mental condition and get help. UK is shit at dealing with stuff like this which is why we're all fat, depressed alcoholics

Go see a psychiatrist or a psychologist

>>75890084
what's the ritual part?

>>75890450
Blood for the blood god

Accept that the system is designed to make you lose and move on

>>75890450
It's pseudoscience, addictions aren't that clear cut . Which is oddly ironic because he posted that obviously false picture while complaining about the 12 steps being pseudoscience.

>>75890490
yeah pseudoscience or not i still want to hear how the ritual part is defined. i know what craving and using is. is it like doing something to suppress the craving?

>>75890084
file bankruptcy like the degenerate that you are

>>75890490
i just google imaged sports betting addiction and chose a pic

it wasn't meant to represent anything i believe just something tangentialyl related.

i didn't even look at the pic too much

>>75890530
Its like the little stuff you get a rush from like the act of buying drugs, getting your rig set up, etc

>>75890530
I think it's more like saying that it becomes a conventional practice. Imagine every Sunday setting aside an hour to bet, and it becomes your personal rite.
I think that's what it means.

It's all pseudoscience and popsci bullshit though. The way to treat addictions is either through drugs or behavioral therapy, in other words seeing professionals whether they are shrinks or psychologists.

>>75890590
ah i see

>>75890592
>cure drug use with more drugs
>psychology is not a pseudoscience
Argentine intellectuals everybody!

>>75890633
>he doesnt cure his weed addiction with coke
sad!

>>75890633
You use less and less addictive drugs to minimize the withdrawal, it's a pretty standard technique and psychiatrists are scientists.
You could argue that psychologists are not scientists, but behavioral therapy is based on hard science.

I know that Americans are dead scared of psychologists, but maybe you shouldn't be so prejudiced.

>>75890743
Did you just try to explain a topic seriously on 4chan?

First world posters that fall to this place are the lowest of their societies.

It's not like us where only educated people post here.

>>75890084
bet with fake money.

just keep doubling your stake until you win. literally foolproof system.

>muh science

Top fucking kek. Literally the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist is about 7 more years at university, a doctorate and the ability to write prescriptions. That's it. I find it bizarre that you think there's anything close to science involved when these same people are the ones telling you that men can be women, men can be women and other assorted mental illnesses that aren't because it would be [insert meme]phobic. Maybe it has something to do with this reddit poster >>75890774 he talks about education like it's supposed to mean anything anymore. More than that he talks about, presumably, you and himself being educated. I've never seen an educated nigger in my life.
Enjoy your mental gymnastics and trying to convince yourselves you're straight when your "girlfriends" have bigger fem dicks than you, but it doesn't make you a faggot. You're definitely still straight. After all the good doctor has confirmed that for you with his science.

>Argentinian intellectuals

My fucking sides.

L I T E R A L L Y stop betting. It's not that hard if you're a real man.

Ask a lawyer about how bankruptcy works, then consider your options.

This is what you do. You get a loan to cover all your losses and then bet on a bet that will win it back. Repeat until you win.

KYS

Step 1) Put mit on your account (like a deposit limit of £30 pounds a week so that your addiction is forced to be managed.

Step 2) See a psychologist and start trying to get help

Step 3) See a debt recovery specialist and consider going bankrupt or consolidating your loans now so that the interest doesn't get unmanageable

You have 10 seconds to explain why you don't have a winning record on your favorite sports book.

>>75890084

If he's going for bankruptcy he may as well rack up more debt before hand.
