Hey guys,
I just relapsed after a long period of time being gambling free. I was almost debt free and had only 1k to pay off the bank. I did have the 1k but decided to deposit 1600 in crypto. Fews days in and the prices kept going down and down. I was looking at the charts all day and night just like I would watch soccer matches when gambling. I was down 400 bucks in a matter of seconds and then all of a suden I decided to go online and play on a online casino. Trying to make some fast money. In one hour of time playing I didn’t hit anything and of course the cycle of depositing began and I maxed out my bank account and credit card. Wish I never started putting my money into crypto in the first place, I don’t know why I chose to disturb my peace one again. I did withdraw the 1200 from my crypto account to cover bills and all and I have money for food. But I learned another lesson today.
Don’t do cryto and don’t gamble.
I will be ok.
Thanks for reading!

Most of us have been unwilling to admit we were real problem gamblers. No one likes to think they are different from their fellows. Therefore, it is not surprising that our gambling careers have been characterized by countless vain attempts to prove we could gamble like other people. The idea that somehow, someday, we will control our gambling is the great obsession of every compulsive gambler. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it into the gates of prison, insanity or death.
If that resonates with you, then follow the link, page through the Combo book, check out some virtual meetings, and above all else take it one day at a time

Track how mind fooled you … You deposited crypto – your mind convinced it’s not a gamble , it’s a skill , after losing you thought omg what I done ? I lost money in crypto … Then your mind said – ok you already broken your vow of gambling by doing crypto , now recover the losses caused — via casino – your mind justified casino that time … , analyse how your addicted mind fooling you …

You only lost one battle. There is still a war that can be fought and won daily, just as you did approximately 240 times in a row. You got this!
Man, this is so important for people to read.
Honestly, the biggest pull back in is when you think you’ve got it under control – because addicts never will have it under control. It’s what got me nearly a year in and took me to my worst. I’m glad you’re already back on the right track. Stay strong, friend!
