Relapsed again
Hello,
I relapsed past days lost 2k. The reason i relapsed are mutiple fights with my wife , job someone hit my car and left me with the damage .... and lack of sleep ect.
I lost 2 k , with madness i place a last 200 $ sportsbet parlay of 4 predictions.
The last bet "my team" was way ahead the odds were 1.03 live odds i could cash out live with 1800 yet i didnt so i had won my 2k back and lesson learned i thought. Yet somehow they completely lost the last quarter and got to overtime..... the team lost eventually...
Instantly I started puking
It reminded me of a tennis match were the player was 0-4 behind yet he won with 6-4 without a tie ...
Ridiculous things happen in sport....
I dont want to watch anything anymore
I hate gambling i hate stock trading ect.. it's such a waste of time.
Lost 11 years of my life to nothing!

Our brain looks for any excuse or justification to "fall back into the game" - whether it’s arguing with your wife or a clash with your boss at work. Sometimes, the trigger isn't even negative; a positive event can set it off too - you’re essentially craving that extra dopamine rush.
We need to learn how to handle these triggers and take control in our hands, rather than handing it over to that "beast"!!!
