i don’t want to fall back into this again, so really need to understand what it is that triggers me into being drawn into crypto.  Is there any medication either which helps counter that feeling?

Greed and Ego usually 

Crypto is an industry people get involved in because they think its a secret get rich quick scheme nobody knows about , reality is you probably have less control in it than you would traditional gambling 

its a Ponzi scheme used by the rich to launder money and pump and dump idiots 

first step to recovery is admitting theres a problem 

Second step is admitting you are the problem 

@287hzyl0pq Quite a bitter response there.  Greed and Ego? Yes surely all gambling can be linked to some form of greed and shortcuts to having more money.  But ego? That comment says more about you than me.

Every week people rock up to this forum wanting an answer to all their problems 

Wether you want to hear it or not the root cause of gambling is 9/10 an obsession with or a lack of money ,if you have money and a decent life why are you gambling ?

Because you want more.....

this defines greed & using gambling as a means to fast track it is usually the ego 

theres a very very popular narrative witin the crypto community of 

"We can beat the system" or " we have beaten the system " 

its an extremely egotistical community that won't listen to anything other than bull cases but thats another topic

It’s simply an introduction from someone who will use the site to see what help is out there and what has worked for others.  Your aggressive tone and 2.35am replies might indicate you have some other problems of your own to take care of but thanks for stopping by.
