I want to be honest and tell my story because I know there are many people going through the same thing, but because it’s shameful, most never come out and talk about it.
Not from this app . It was someone I know outside the app who reached out and helped me. He’s also the one who advised me to deactivate my account after seeing my situation and some of the things people were saying.
I’m rooting for your recovery Mphatso in this uncertain time of your life. Sometimes, you just need one person to believe in you that you can make it back from whatever you are going thru. I lack the financial capacity to help but whenever you want to talk stranger, i’ll be here.
I will be offline for the next 6 months as I focus on rebuilding myself, healing, and finding my way again. Thank you to everyone who supported me, encouraged me, or simply listened. It means more than you know. 🙏
I’m sharing this because I know I’m not the only one going through this. Betting can destroy lives quietly, and many suffer in silence because of shame. But recovery is possible. I have fought to be betting free, and I’m determined to keep going.
