Strange twists of fate during gambling episodes

@jackjones this addiction is stupid i actually really hate gambling 3 weeks ago i had some issues which put me under extreme stress without thinking about it i turned to gambling bing for 6 days i lost £750 in total i haven't had a bet in 18 days yesterday i ended up in a casino i wanted to win back the money i had lost as previously i was clean for just over two years and built a saving of over 4k i was thinking of putting a bet thankfully i didnt which could have ended up badly for me i gave 6 month rent money in advance and spent the rest on stuff which i was thinking to purchase bought new iphone a jacket pair of trainers and now im left with £150 until next wednesday when i get paid i dont have any urge to gamble although i have still blown it all i feel relieved it not all been waisted i was actually thinking of going on a holiday with the extra money i guess i could save it for next time, atleast my case it not has bad as i could have been knowing me i would have blown it all chasing my losses back

@tazman Thanks for the post, YES, I hate gambling. Suffered with extreme mental health issues and still do. If I gamble my anxiety goes through the roof. I am never ahead or up from gambling but I feel desperate, bored or lonely at times and other times just greedy. 

I am not the problem Gambling is, it tricks us into thinking we will feel good and initially we do. But thr most surprisingly important thing about gambling is; when you lose you get the Dopamine released at a huge amount which leaves us numbe and depressed. But the Brain learns to down regulate dopamine ready for the next adrenline rush as if to balance it. 

The issue is, we believe that it was okay and our mind is brainwashed into thinking it was harmless because eventually out dopamine returns to normal. On the other hand, sometimes dopamine and other hormones are left depleted causing severe issues. Best bet is to steer clear. But in the times we are living and modern tech the odds are definitely stacked in the favour of the system. Its a monopoly. We are supposedly responsible for all of our actions. 

Our whole lives are ruled by a piece of paper and its our fault when we cannot manage it.... Hmmm? Actually I believe its all a distraction to out higher selves. There is so much in the way of how we are supposed to live our lives. Instead we are stuck in this Matrix and fed with constant liea and dreams of being rich, yet it ciuldnt be firther from the truth. If we take a moment to disconnect the World becomes our Oyster. Just undo the knots and master the Mind. Breath. And lastly, try not to think (the opoosite of what we have been told).

Gambling starts off with trying to win then becomes a habit in fact i read an article about a guy losing over 100 million because he drunk the casino put bets for him and went on to sue the casino clearly he was a gambling addict and it was not the case to win some extra money, some people use it as an escape to reality and its nothing to do with winning money which is why we get cases of people lossing their homes the government well aware of this because they make so much money out of it they just brush it aside, gambling will only get stronger am fortunate i never got to online gambling which is even worse as u don't see it as money yet they keep advertising and hoping to suck in as many people even if those are future problem gamblers

I read thwt post too.

Well I havent been gambling. But the last loss was a crushing blow. 

Barred myself for Arcades as well as Bookies. Its a joke that Arcades flourished after Bookies were wiped out from the 100 a spin malarky.

When it seems toi good to be true it probalby is... Oh well..

Next year will be my best year ever...

Merry Christmas & HNY

They beat me many times they cant entice me no more my job now is get other people stuff playing this scam ladbro wanted to call the police, as i was harashing their customers  i spoke to 10 ppl outside bookies 9/10 customers all agreed the machines are a scam they are so addictive especially roulette is the worst of the worst 

Still here, looking back at how much disruption I have caused to my life  by losing all of my money is disgusting. However, the money is just a man made concept and I can meditate on it. Bottom line, gambling is a Devil.
