Hi Steven,
Thanks for your post. It does make a lot of sense, as you speak out of experience.
There’s a change in the thoughts which turn you in to the gambler again, without you even noticing. Only one moment can ruin it all.
I have my finance managed, but even though I still have gambled quite an amount the last 8 months. I have counted the smaller amounts which I had access to and I can conclude I have gambled around 2500.
It’s crazy, it doesn’t feel this way, most of the time I gambled around 50. Crazy how it accumulates. Can you imagine how much I would’ve lost if I had access to my managed bank-account.
I told myself 8 months ago that I was ready to control my own finances again and the reason why I gambled was because they didn’t let me get my finance back.
It would probably go right at the start if I did get my finance bank, as I was doing great. But now I know it was a good thing that I didn’t get it, because there’s only one weak moment needed to go bankrupt.
Being aware of that, I’m glad my money is being taken care of.
Stupid brain
