Hi Cristiana,
If you are here I think it's safe to assume you recognize that you have a problem with gambling. You really need to stop! Trying to win back what you've lost will not happen.
I would take a look at the gamblers anonymous website, and find a local group but most of all look at the "20 questions" that really hit home for me and I'd imagine it will for you.
There are a lot of great people on DS with much wisdom and love- please avail yourself of this fellowship!

Hi Christina welcome to the site! i would take jayd advice and quit trying to recoup your losses. we have all tried for years...some of us decades chasing the dream of getting our money back...only to go further and further into the hole. it took me 18 yrs and probably 100k to finally realize there is no refund policy with the casino. even if you do win some back its only temporary. then it progresses to risking more money to try and win more back. its a never ending cycle. you will eventually get your money back bye not gambling anymore. well i wish you the best and if you need any help we are always her for you . Take care John

welcome to our place, where we find unity, anonymity, support and understanding in facing that huge dark, negatively charged hole called Gambling Adiiction. Myself, ten years later of complete self-destruction and over $200K down the drain, I can tell you I am free of every little illusion of getting even $20 back from gambling in a casino. At this point I am fighting for my life daily one simple step at a time, using GA, DS and all available tools I learned t/o last years of trying to quit. I am at a good place with 5 months free of chasing game. Game of chasing my own self to death. Keep coming back! We love you! We know who you are and you are one of us.
Vicky.

Hi Cristiana... welcome here. I'm sorry that you've lost so much money. And even sorrier that you are trying to win it back. That was a phase I went through before my gambling got really bad. What happened to me was that I would win some money and sometimes I would even leave with it... but that itch to go back was even stronger after a win. The mantra would go through my head for days "you're on a winning streak" "you can take your winnings and win more money back". Each win made me crave it more. It became a vicious cycle that almost took my life. I hope that you don't gamble yourself to that point trying to win back money. It's not way to live.

Hello C, I think probably the worst thing that can happen is winning a sizable amount early on. Because then you know it's possible. The thing is -then it is all about chasing that high. The high of winning that big amount. It is really incredible. The thing is -it may never happen again.
What you are doing now is called chasing losses. The thing is even if you win, you get to the point that you will only be feeding your addiction. It isn't about the money anymore. It is about the high, but the thing is with this addiction you can't get the high without the incredible lows that come with it.
It is truly devastating and no on is immune.
So glad you found us, we are a pretty great group of people.
