your story is all to familiar, starting small and then going in excess. its your advice that stopped me gambling for 18 months, however i recently relapsed and instead of losing 1600 like you…. i crazily had an adrenaline rush moment and lost 10000 in two nights….
Remember u telling me that we cant gamble…. we cant take losses…. the pride of admitting defeat is to much..so we chase ……. even a 5 dollar bet is to much…thats the gambling demon tricking u to come back…. u need to move on…. dont let the past affect your preset… u need to get out there…get freinds….enroll in gym, let another hobby be your best freind.
what helped me a lot is to remeber the sick feeling i get when losing everything and assosiate that with any act of gambling , gambling is not adreanline pre fun, its sickening ,
hope you went to your GA
