I've been in this cycle more times than I can count. After a big loss I’d feel sick, angry at myself, disappointed, full of regret. I'd swear it off thinking that was the last time but then a few days or weeks later, once the sting wore off and a bit of money came in, I’d convince myself that this time would be different.
I'm starting to realise that the real challenge isn’t making the promise to stop, it’s building something stronger than the impulse when it returns.
Exactly. That's what I keep saying to those that care to know, stopping gambling is not by saying it out loud, it requires a strong conviction to absolutely stood by what said.
I have seen many at times that those that said they will stop gambling because of the terrible losses they had, within some weeks, they have forgotten all that, gambling like nothing happened to them
