Thats why I'm paranoid about going any period of time not holding, it happened to me once and I'll be damned if I let it happen again.

Don't know if you've ever heard of it, but there's a family of moths in the order Lepidoptera called the Gambler Moths.
They're known for their failure to hodl in the most critical times, and are strongly attracted to flame.
The most famous species in this family is Opodiphthera huerstici. It was discovered by Vladimir Nabokov, and inspired him to write his novel Pale Fire.
