RE: $300,000 Lost! - A True Story

in #bitcoin8 years ago

I feel at home with this article. After leaving military service, I became addicted to drugs and alcohol. I developed a huge gambling habit. At first I maintained it, and was making good money doing computer service. But it all caught up to me. I lost my wife, car, house, and was over 500k in debt.

I started breaking the law to make money, and was quickly locked up for 2 years. Luckily while I was in my ex wife filed bankrupcy for me and I was able to get out of my debt.

After leaving jail, I moved in with my mother, and turned all my finances over to her. It has helped alot, although once and a while I get my hands on 100 bucks and I end up at the casino or buying lottery. But as long as I turn all my cash over to her, I don't have the problem. Perhaps finding someone to hold onto your money, an accountability partner, would be of great help.

I hope my comment will help in some way.

Wow thank you. I am glad you have someone to help you. Your story helps me knowing I am not alone and that this can happen to other people as well. Stay strong brother.

i love that first sentence "I feel at home with this article."
..and as for the finance thing yeah not having money is a major plus ...well not so much "not having money" but not having at your disposal definitely helps thats my situation right now all my money gets saved and the only money i really do get to just blow is the btc i make from selling snails in the mail (snailsinthemail.com) and every penny of that im sure you can take a guess where that goes to....all the investors on whichever site im gambling btc on..but can gladly say im not blowing just about all my cash i make gambling these days:)
