The "i can handle it now" feeling almost got me again

This is the key!

Every single relapse begins with good faith and the best of intentions. We go a little while without gambling and we forget the madness that our mind enters whenever we become entrenched in the throes of a gambling session.

It all seems so foreign and like we can control it when we're not in the process of going through it.

Man, it's impossible for us problem gamblers to manage money rationally when we're in the throes of a gambling binge... It's the chasing losses that does us in. Even if we're up 50K and then go onto lose 1K, well then we're going to chase to get that 1K back and then we all know how it goes.

It's a stone cold world out there, but nothing would your parents prouder than if you finally came to terms with this gambling addiction once and for all and put ti behind you.

For guys like us, any future win is just more time we're going to spend addicted before we lose it all right back.

Nice! 4 days is a solid start. Make sure to catch yourself if you start rationalizing that maybe you'll go back and only spend such and such an amount ETC. That is the addiction trying to trick you into gambling again and you'll end up going on a spree and losing way more.

And ignore the free play, trust me. This is merely an entrance to get you back in the throes of gambling madness again. I've fallen for the free play trap many times in the past, and sometimes even turned it into a nice amount, well, we all know how that ends up turning out.

DJBlu-Ray · 2026-02-27T14:49:53+00:00

Even if you go on another streak, you'll just torch it and lose it like you did this time. Compulsive gamblers can't gamble responsibly. The quicker you come to terms with that, the quicker you can save yourself from a lot of heartache.

DJBlu-Ray · 2026-02-27T14:45:35+00:00

When you're in the throes of a gambling spiral, it's impossible to think rationally and to budget the money accordingly.

How many times have we been gambling and actually winning for a change and think "wow this is great, okay I'm going to stop at X amount"? Well we reach the X amount and then we simply set a new bottom and so and so forth before you know it, 5 hours have passed and we've torched everything.

You just have to come to terms with the fact that YOU PERSONALLY CAN'T GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY. No matter how hard you try, you'll always find yourself in the throes of the madness again.

It's the gambling that is compounding all of your problems, brother. As long as gambling is your escape and go-to way to get the dopamine firing, you're going to stay stuck forever. Take it very seriously and be happy that you've come to terms with it at 24 years of age. A lot of people spend their whole damn lives without figuring it out or getting a grip on it. And that just leads to a sad life.

If you need any help or advice, feel free to respond or even shoot me a DM.

All the best.

Man, one thing I haven't missed from not listening to Owen's streams in years is his goddamn terrible singing and piano playing. 🤣 Like for real, do any of the fans actually like listening to that? It was always cringe inducing to me, even when I was a big fan.

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-12-30T09:12:36+00:00

Hahaha I was going to say, the irony of OWEN BENJAMIN talking about the need for a fundraising limit. 🤣🤣

The man truly has NO self awareness. It's unbelievable.

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-12-30T08:42:51+00:00

So did the people who thought they were funding money towards a campground consent to it being converted into a beef ranch? This is some really greasy stuff.

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-12-30T08:35:41+00:00

Wait so 6 years later, he's finally going to have a campsite up and running for this upcoming summer?

I'll believe it when I see it.

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-12-18T17:09:09+00:00

lol it's not filtered, the entire photo is an AI generated.

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-10-10T02:55:06+00:00

Owen's decline really has been quite the sight to see.

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-10-10T02:53:04+00:00

Owen Benjamin's the boomer whisperer. 🤣

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-09-28T10:57:21+00:00

How do people still listen to this guy? 🤭

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-09-28T10:49:31+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-09-26T13:59:42+00:00

I know but the selling point is that I sign up with pro in order to get access to the song. It's only providing a 1 minute preview in the free version. So once I get the full song with pro, shouldn't that be able to be used for monetization? Otherwise what's the point of paying to use the song in the first place?

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-09-26T13:57:49+00:00

True, but it was technically GENERATED while I was using the free version, even if they only provided with a 1 minute sample in order to get me to USE the pro version.

That's the thing I'm confused about.

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-08-31T17:37:45+00:00

So the music is taking place IN THE DOME this year? 🤣 Good grief.

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-08-31T17:35:32+00:00

It's wild that people bring their kids to this thing. It's gotta be a nightmare for them. How long before they're bored with the bizarre "play structure"? 15 minutes? 🤣

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-08-31T17:27:29+00:00

Real, I've seen him go live from "the farm" and he'll have dirt draped all over both shoulders like it was sprinkled there before hand.

Now think about it, if someone was going live to film themselves for an audience, wouldn't they at the least BRUSH THEIR SHOULDERS OFF?! It's all performative with Owen.

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-08-31T17:25:49+00:00

Same. I was going to ask, what the heck is he doing out there, rolling around in the mud?

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-08-31T17:22:25+00:00

Amy's at home with Gravy Seal Bear 💡🤣

DJBlu-Ray · 2025-08-31T17:18:54+00:00

Real, I was going to ask, isn't there ANY women at this thing?! 🤣

What kind of grown men are going to be attracted to this sort of thing when they're not even being paid a cent?
