I had a job that I liked because I felt like getting it was going to lead to me getting somewhere. I lost it in three days. Then I turn around and blow about half of my money down at the casino. Such a freaking loser.

Well once I stopped going to class in college and did not to deal with the fact I had PTSD or other issues and was doing drugs all the time until I officially dropped out, I think everyone does stupid things...so uhh try not to be too hard on yourself, that is the best advice a loser such as myself can give.

You will get another job.

About 25 years ago, I worked at McDonald's for 4 hours.
At about the same time, I had another job for 3 hours.

At least, you did not use a credit card to gamble.

Well at least you probably learned not to blow the other half of your money in the casino.

I was pushing trolleys at a supermarket
and still went back to the casino over the road in my lunchtime,
until I'd lost everything!

It's an addiction, until you swear to yourself
"never again"

Yeah I'm not going back. I'm going to have to have save my checks for a couple of months and I have this temp job coming up in April, that will be a big help. It's just disappointing. How did I let it get that bad and throw myself off track.

Weird, the exact same thing happened to me several months back I think it was now. Best wishes.

I hope you find some motivation and just something that really drives you to success, as once you have motivation, thats when you can really do great things. Your not a loser, you may have done something stupid, been a bit careless but not a loser.
