I'm going to share a local gambling "success" story:

A guy that I went to school with took out a loan so that he could continue his gambling addiction.

He got very lucky and won $100,000 - $200,000. The casino paid up.

So what did he do?

He quit his job flipping kebabs, created an emergency fund, bought a small studio apartment, and started a business, of course!

...Or did he?

Fast forward 2 weeks later...

I walk by a local café and see him waiting tables.

"Hmm, that's weird, but I guess he's just bought an apartment/house and is back to a job for the time being."

Another few days go by, and I'm talking to a friend who knows him.

He brings up that the guy gambled ALL of it in a WEEK.

And yes, you can bet he didn't even pay his debt.

Throughout the years, I've also heard stories of people losing their businesses and families to gambling...

...And then moving to another city, starting a new business, and creating a new family – just to lose it all AGAIN for some spinning fruits on a digital screen.

This is what gambling is.

You can't wean off it.

You can't limit it.

In fact, there is no way out except not partaking in it.

You either quit NOW and FOREVER—you don't need effort or willpower to quit, you need a mindset change and a new relationship with money—OR kill yourself slowly and painfully by losing everything you've ever had and everything you could have had.

Simply put, gamblers NEVER win.

Even when they hit the jackpot and do NOT gamble it all back, their money runs out eventually (ALL gamblers are idiots with their finances), and they're back to the only thing they know – the casino.

You know what you should NOT be doing. That should be obvious from the above posts.

It sounds like you need to get up and move around. You're 18 years old, so having little to no money is not exactly shocking. Get a job where you have to socialize with people. A job like retail, sales, or even work at a fast food restaurant. Sure, these jobs are not fastlane, but you will start interacting with people. You will be able to make money, and if you work enough. you won't even have time to gamble.

The great thing about interacting with the real world... you start noticing problems that you might be able to solve. Use that knowledge to start a business if you are so inclined.

do you still leave at home with your parents ? ...then move out and find any job that you can sustain yourself.

its not your fault.. clearly your parents are not to be trust.

find a hobby that you enjoy and its almost free, and no dangerous .. like reading, jogging, find a girlfriend

but I learned a lesson that no one can ever make money gambling, this lesson will save me from future losses.
I learned the lesson hard way but learned.
it is right idea to get a job where i need to talk to other people like in a restaurant, but what if they made joke of me? because i am so naive about social interaction and I am not clever.

Accept your loss and move on.
