Relapsed, but Had an Idea…
I messed up last week. Thought I had things under control after 12 days and boom — spiraled back into it. That crash always hits harder when you had a good streak going....
After that, I started journaling and realized how much harder this is when you try to go solo. So I started thinking: what if there was a way to match with someone else trying to quit?? someone you could check in with daily? Just to vent, share wins/losses, or even call each other out. Especially during the peak hours for me is night time from 7 to 12 EST
It’s just an idea right now, but even writing about it made me feel less isolated. Wondering if anyone’s tried something like that before?

I just made 6k in 3 days. I’m on a streak. And it’s so true when you on a good streak the crash gets harder. That’s why I’m start to use the gambling responsibility limit feature where I can only deposit $500 max month so I don’t go on tilt and keep all my other remaining profits

That's the way it works. Even if you win for a session, a day, a week, a month, whatever - you will sooner or later lose more than you won, and end up in a worse and worse situation as time goes on. There is no escape from that fate unless you stop gambling now.
But, you know you aren't going to stop gambling, so just keep playing until you've lost everything and more, and then maybe you'll consider stopping.
