I can’t believe I’ve made it this long. I’m feeling pretty awesome. I did overspend this week (woops) and indulged but overall can’t complain considering it isn’t a complete waste being fed into a slot machine.
I was drinking last night at a friends house when they all were gambling online. I never gamble online, it just doesn’t do it to me. But I have made a vow that I will stay away from the pubs in the near future until I get some momentum back.
The thing I have noticed is how much gambling affects your brain. After I have a big night playing pokies, all I want to do is go back. I dream about it, especially if I’ve lost because I want to win it all back. And if I win, I think I’m going to win again. It really fucks with my brain chemistry and I think that’s also another reason I want to stay away.
One day at a time 🤞🏼
