Hi again holycrosser
this is exactly how my mind works when I gamble.
for the small gains of day to day living that end up spiralling into a nightmare
the shopping money I could win to f**k all in the cupboard
the I just want more to go out with on a night out with friends to coming home very early or not going out at all
the car bill that needs to be paid, to the car bill that never happens.
definitely my brain works like this when gambling
its madness to think but I would say quite a lot think the same way we do
Life’s hard these days and it’s all about what we have and want vs what we have already that is not to bad at all.
I forget a lot of the time of what I already have and take things for granted very easy
with how the world is shaped these days from the news and social media it’s killed Big parts of life glamourising the need for this and that.
Its all materialistic b****x tbh and I am trying to also think short term rather than 10 years down the line with having this and that, that I do get hung up on from time to time
we all have aspirations and dreams to do well but sometimes to get to where we want to be we have to take a look back to move forward
I've just about cut out this thinking,158 days gambling free and now I pay for stuff without fretting.
Only one thing is at the back of my mind,my son wants a new bed its £400 and little thoughts creep in.i dont have spare money for it but I've promised him ages ago for a moving in present and the time is coming to pay.stay strong but that wee mindset crept in like in my first post.big bill is a big trigger.
Affected by gambling?
