So. You repeat, repeat and repeat. You have an impulse control disorder. What is that?
You have to put another bet in. Before you understand if it is right or not and when you do you just don't care because this is the place you have to be. Come hell or high water. You just need to stay just here in the zone. And you will stay here as long as there is anything left in the engine. That means petrol to keep it going.
But what is here? What does this place do? IT stops the world outside from getting in.... So you need to park your brain on hold. But why? Because I DONT LIKE THE WORLD I LIVE IN.
Is that it?
You can stop. Or you can control.
You just need to understand what you want to do.
Then do it.
Lesson one. You do not belong in any zone. Everything ends and changes. You cant stay in any gambling mode. because it does not last.
Another thing.
We are adamant that authorities should step in and do their part so we can get well. But you need to understand that they are coaddicts to. Europe had a turn over twenty-four billion euro on gambling last year. Governments get tax money from that. That means money first then reality later, maybe...
You need to take on YOUR responsibilities and look out for YOU. That may not be as easy as you think you say but has anything else worked for you so far?
We must understand why we want to disappear for a while from life outside our own world so badly so we disconnect and look at lights or place bigger and bigger bets at the bookies etc. We must learn how to be humble and say. That's it, that is all I can afford today and walk away from whatever you may be doing.
We have programmed pathways in our brain and these can be reprogramed to do something else or perhaps even better. Get your impulses back into control and become a free human being again.
I am convinced that we can beat this but if you stop at " Ohh I lost so much money and how will I fix it know" you will be stuck in a massive emotional wheel that just won't let you out of it. Guilt is also programmed but can be managed if addressed
