Broke
Reading on here, it's easy to hear the progression of gambling addiction and the production of dopamine. For me it started as the idea of winning and over the decades move through various phases as my brain needed more to encourage my brain to produce it through pretty much the whole process of my addiction. Because each stage produced more and more dopamine, I became addicted to scheming and lying, placing and waiting, result, and then the wheel back to the start. Over the last ten years since I went completely online and did no physical placement, the chaos took over and the result was immaterial. In fact as the result gave no dopamine it was a hindrance to getting back to the start of each bet cycle.Â
My question on this topic is whether anyone else has come to this conclusion....I was only happy when I was broke, the balance was zero, all the chips had gone. The relief in my brain was immense. Just the thought that I couldn't place another bet that day gave me peace. When ever I had money, nothing was ever enough and my brain would be racing.
