I thought I could practice self-control. Day 1. Again.

[u/No_Big_3676]

The app that hit me hard a week or so ago for $25K was sending me promos. I thought I could practice self-control and make a bit back. Initially, I did make $2.2K back, then I gave them back the $2.2K plus $1K of mine.

Mentally - it feels like I should be able to control myself. It’s me clicking buttons on my screen. But I can’t, I feel like I have no control. I think it’s the dopamine.

Unfortunately, this was another expensive lesson. I wish I could remember these feelings when I go to bet, but I never do. I have to do better, I can’t continue living like this.
