I’ve spent hours reading the posts today and they have been truly heartfelt but also make me more confuse about my own situation.
I have access to capital, and casinos don’t really get to me. I do get blindsided by things that I don’t view are gambling and then chasing. For example, stock investing. I keep thinking that it’s okay for me to make an investment because that’s my job and I’m good at it. Before you know it, I’m buying and selling 6 times a day. Then that leads to sports betting because I need the action.
Other than that, I think the need for excitement gets to me. I can’t just watch a ball game. I need to have some money riding on it to feel excited about the game. It sucks but that’s what has happened to me and sports. I can no longer watch sports to enjoy it now that I’ve lost the financial impact. i’m now addicted to this forum. I can’t help but keep posting. It’s an avenue for me to express my feelings, but I also hope it’s helpful for others who might be going through the same things.
