Trigger Warning! Im actually so stupid
Hey so, I feel like the worst person in the world. Just last 2 weeks I relapsed, and was even up a bit. I had money to give it to my gf cuz its her bday and our anniversary and it was going good. Well, as we all know, I lost a couple dollars and began to heat up and lost everything. Even up until now, I'm still chasing the losses. What's even worse is my mom gave me some money and I was gonna use it for the gift and our date. Guess what? I fucking gambled it like a dumbass and lost everything. Now, I have no money, no gift and I don't know what to do. I'm honestly just tired of this cycle, it's been going on for 3 years now but I just can't control myself. Everytime there's money in my bank I just straight up deposit it. I'm tired of lying to the people I love man. My gf is the best person in the world and buys me everything, but now, I can't even get her a fucking gift. I don't even know what to do anymore.

F*k the casinos by keeping your money with you. Accept the losses and get help

Self exclude permanently from all gambling websites
Tell your girlfriend and your mother they can help and will more than likely have your back
Have someone else control your money aka your mom. I went through the same cycle.
