My name is Ana, and I'm a thirty-five-year-old woman from Brazil who has been struggling with a gambling 🌛 addiction for years. My story starts when I was in my early twenties when I started to play the lottery 🌛 regularly. At first, it was just a fun way to dream about the possibilities of winning big, but it quickly 🌛 became an addiction that consumed my life. I began to spend more and more money on lottery tickets, hoping that 🌛 the next win would be the one that changed my life forever.

I remember the rush of excitement I would get 🌛 when I first started playing. I would check the results eagerly, hoping to see that I had won the jackpot. 🌛 But as the weeks went by, I started to realize that I wasn't winning anything significant, yet I continued to 🌛 spend money without thinking about the consequences.

After a few months, I noticed my addiction was worsening. I was spending a 🌛 considerable amount of my monthly salary on lottery tickets and was now taking risks like playing with figures that went 🌛 up to 40% of my income. The uncertainty in the pandemic only worsened my behavior, as I found solace in 🌛 the escape of gambling. I started to lie to my family and play more frequently, so much so that I 🌛 even skipped work to play the lottery. I was so hooked that I took out loans and even sold some 🌛 of my belongings to fund my addiction.
