I'm 23 and i've been gambling for like 6 years now
what started as "just trying it" turned into something i can't control.
now i'm around 600k tl (around 12k dollar) in debt and my salary is 90k (around 2.2k dollar). i don't even know how it got this bad, it just kept getting worse slowly and then all at once
i'm not really a social person. i don't have much of a circle and i'm bad at talking to girls. i'm also 163 cm (around 5'4) which kinda messed with my confidence over time if i'm being honest
i smoke, i drink, my routine is trash. most days feel the same. wake up, stress about money, distract myself, repeat
sometimes it feels like i'm just watching my life instead of actually living it
but at the same time i don't want this to be it. i don't want to stay like this forever
i want to quit gambling, fix my life, get in shape mentally and physically, be normal, have relationships, not feel like this all the time i just don't know how to actually start or stick to anything
if you've been in a similar situation and got out, how did you do it? even small advice would help
