Faith & The Fold
When you are fighting an addiction, you need every weapon available. For billions of people, that weapon is Faith.
Whether you are deeply religious or just seeking spiritual grounding, almost every major tradition in human history has warned against the specific trap of gambling—not because they want to ruin your fun, but because they saw how it destroys the "Self."
Here is what the world's great traditions say about the trap you are in, and more importantly, how to get out.

You are not alone
Whether it's the Sangha, the Church, or the Ummah, recovery happens in community. Isolation is where the addiction lives.
You are not your bank account
Your worth is intrinsic. A 'Win' does not make you better; a 'Loss' does not make you worse.
Return is always possible
No matter how far you have drifted, the path back starts with a single turn.
