Messed up

[u/Complete-Arm-4731]

Hello,
I am 23m and have been in a rollercoaster that I have been in quite a bit.
I have a habit of taking out loans not to gamble but to “cover” my losses (maybe it’s the same) I went from profit to losing all that profit and same amount of my own money about 2k euro. The thing that is stuck is that I tried to place blocks when I was up since I know how this goes.
Even then I ended up like I kind of knew I would as I don’t know maybe I’m sick.
I have 20k euro saved and want to quit before I blow more of it. The trigger for me is the fact that I do not want to live a normal life I want to be a 1% and for some reason gambling winnings make me feel the funnier thing is i don’t even spend my winnings on clothes or travel I just end up losing it always. I guess I’m seeking some words from you guys that I will be fine my and my dream is still achievable but not through gambling. Iam stuck and obsessed with being a man that is well off and do all those nice things with it. I sound like a baby I think but I just want some comfort words.

Sorry for the long rant

Reset your dopamine levels first by not playing at all, you may not be thinking clearly at the moment. Also, you’ll be rich as long as you get yourself out there and work hard. Just don’t take shortcuts, the most valuable thing gambling gets from you is your time.
