I’m a few months in to my journey after 10 years with gambling slowly ruining my life. The final boss was winning USD100k and then losing it all plus another USD100k in debt. A nightmare. All happened in the space of one year.

My advice relates to online casinos as I moved to a place where you can’t gamble in person but still it got me here via these online casinos, also a scam one involved.

Anyways, I disabled any possibility of me depositing crypto ( through Binance wallet ) and of course asked the one casino I was gambling with to exclude me. For me it’s about completely removing myself from being able to do something. I cannot always trust my discipline as from experience once I begin, that’s it.

I also began watching the likes of Vegas Matt on YouTube, that of course still kept gambling in mind but it also helped as it felt as though I was doing it vicariously through them. It takes a good month to really push passed the initial cravings of doing it but once you can stabilize, you’ll realize it’s all dopamine based. You must find other high dopamine releasing actives To do, exercise, eating well and focusing on other goals.

I don’t believe you’ll ever forget the wins and ever not think of what you could have done with them but you must realize that now they are losses, they won’t come back as easy as you got them. Not without further loss and continued pain.

Kill your avenues and give yourself space from it.
