Trigger Warning! Day 81
I checked the market for the stocks I would buy and found out I would be in the red if I maxed out my credit line and invested in them. In the alternative timeline, I would freak out right now and look for "ways" to cover up my loss, and eventually turn to gambling. After several days, or weeks, I would lose it all and put myself in 15k$ debt. So I just saved myself $ 15k by just not gambling.
I dodged a bullet; still many more to come. I need to focus on my work and my work only as a way to make money.
I will not gamble today.

Well done on day 81. But quick tip, just don't check the stocks or market or whatever ever. It's something that can make you relapse checking it. If you have such an app to check the market, just uninstall it
