Does anyone turn into a complete different person when gambling? I will sit on my phone for over 12 hours a time just pushing a button?? To just lose all my money. Why does my brain work this way that when I’m playing I can’t do anything else??
Hiya
o*g yes. Two different people for 44 years. I thought I had to leave the old person behind but what I have come to understand is that the addiction side of me, needs help daily to fix and in that way two different personalities can work together to become one good one. Gambling was never my problem, it was my solution (a bad one yes). So to stop gambling I had to work on fixing the problem.Â
