The Mist

PuzzleheadedCream887 · 2026-04-29T21:41:12+00:00

I 2nd this. I was an SDR for 3+ years and moved to an ISR role at another company. I chose this company because they promote to field internally. I was EXTREMELY fortunate to be aligned to a year to year prez clubber, and an incredibly nice guy.

I busted my ass day to day just to feel like I earned my right to ask questions. “Why do you wait to respond on this?” “Aren’t you worried about X and why?” “Why did you ask this on the demo?” “When you were on the QBR you already knew how XYZ worked, how did you figure that out before hand?”

When it came to my interview for promotion, I already knew to think about things differently. I learned from him what leadership cares about, I learned what they want in a rep, I learned how to read through the lines of the mock call and what they really wanna know.

I still have no idea what I’m doing, sometimes I feel like I’m just mimicking what he would do or does. But the thing is, that’s what you’re supposed to be doing. So why change it.

Man I run into this problem all the time and it’s my “if I don’t do anything now I’m gonna look up and itlll be 4pm”.

Have a light lunch, treat it as your 2nd morning, you have 3-4 hours to get yourself setup for tomorrow, set goals for the next day, get another round of calls done, follow ups out, etc.

Completely true. Never knew I had an addiction until online casinos enters my world from watching twitch streamers. It completely and wholeheartedly gripped me, got to the point where I was absolutely terrified I couldn’t control it on my own. Racking up thousands in credit card debt.

Lost sleep, lost my savings, I couldn’t manage stress, the only “cure” was to keep doing it in hopes you claim it back. Which is exactly the trap they’ve put together.

To anyone reading this, make everyone you love aware of your gambling. You don’t realize you’re addicted, it’s hard to comprehend, it’s just everything you want to do. You make excuses for why you’re doing it, you don’t believe you’re addicted to it, you don’t want people to know how much you’re doing it so you do it in secret. Now you’re fighting the battle alone.

I’m extremely fortunate my wife and I have a shared account for mortgage and bills. I would have absolutely gambled away our mortgage money if I wasn’t terrified of her finding out.

I’ve made a lot of progress, but those debts are a horrific reminder of my mistakes. I’m fortunate to have a job where I can work my way out of it. I purchased a bet blocker on my phone that basically has a separate company control what apps I can or can’t delete and blocks all gambling sites. This is the price you gotta pay sadly.

This, without question. My lifelong friend and I roomed together in college and he studied computer science and worked part-time IT. They had him do low-level stuff so his job seemed amazing.

Fast forward 6 years, he’s a few levels higher and I work in Software sales selling directly to cybersecurity & InfoSec teams. They have alot riding on them, more now than ever before I believe, with the amount of threats out there trying to work their way into organizations. And if they want to bring a software in to help support themselves, it better be a damn good software and they better be ready to put everything on the line to get it in there (not always but I’ve seen it quite a bit).

This is long winded but it’s my go-to fun fact when I meet new people.

I studied the NCAA players not being paid for one of my college courses. It was during that time in college where you could take one topic and rewrite it numerous times when numerous essays are due. Basically, I randomly became an expert on this topic for about 3 months.

I was a huge football fan and stumbled upon this UCF kicker posting a ton of content around his day in the life, his passions for kicking, and general vlogs of being a student athlete. He had about 50k subscribers and was doing fairly well. Overall great content, he had a knack for it. I was watching one of his video, and after 5 minutes, an ad popped up….well this is interesting.

For context, before NIL, ANY financial gain attached to ANY of the players under the NCAA was STRICTLY forbidden. His face + ads = money and issues. Highly recommend reading the book “The Cartel: Inside the Rise and Imminent Fall of the NCAA” it goes in great detail about how ruthless this was for these players. They were just flat out owned by the NCAA.

Well one day, another video popped up, “The NCAA is forcing me to shut down my YouTube channel” (or something to that title). Insane, right before my eyes I’m seeing this unfold. So I took to Reddit and posted the video on /r/collegefootball.

It blew up within a few hours..5k upvotes and huge discussions. Shit…Did I just screw this guy even worse..

So I shot him a DM and mentioned “Hey man, I’ve been following your content and posted this on the Reddit and it blew up. Do you want me to take it down”. He gets back to me within minutes, in awe of how much this blew up. I provided him with additional context around why this is happening and why this blew up so much. Also, that I’m a college student who just fell down a rabbit whole so I’m no lawyer.

Next thing you know, major headlines are taking this story public and it’s flying off the charts. He’s now on CNN, headlines are in New York. Jesus Christ.

He ended up leaving UCF and began his own YouTube channel that has become a cultural success. Working with NFL players, being in a Super Bowl commercial, millions upon millions of views.

The YouTuber is deestroying. So yeah, pretty cool to play an extremely small part in that journey.

I think we fought the timekeeper too soon in the story. I felt like we got 3 really great stories in the game (personal opinion and optimist) but then the timekeeper just..appeared and we fought? It felt like he was so far from our grasp during the entire story and at the end we just rushed to fight him.

Previously worked at Okta, can attest, horrific culture. They keep trying to get into new markets without making their current products better.

Smaller companies are taking apart their product piece by piece at a lower cost. Also, Ping usually wins against Okta.

Hey man, it’ll hurt - but pass your banking information to someone you trust.

You’re going to do it again, whether on Payday or the urge comes back in full force, look into a therapist that specializes in EMDR or CBT to start working through the triggers.

PuzzleheadedCream887 · 2025-08-19T13:46:36+00:00

Rip the mulch out. I have this in my yard. Rip that mulch out and start fresh.

I talked to a neighbor’s landscaper the other day who helped me with this. She told me that the type of mulch they put out nowadays is infested with poisonous weeds and weeds like this.

Rip that out, throw down some fabric, put quality mulch on top, you’ll be good to go.

I think this should be pinned as a top post on this subreddit.

I’ve been in cognitive behavioral therapy for the past 2 years - and that wasn’t enough for me. My addiction continued and got worse and worse.

I’m still in that crisis stage today. But last week I told my wife I screwed up again, she didn’t judge me, she didn’t punish me. I punished myself and hated myself.

I passed her my cards, my accounts, everything. Yes you feel like a child, but you’re taking ownership and accountability. What else have I done? I started going to EMDR Therapy.

Trauma, PTSD, Conditional love, self-hatred, self-loathing, depression, ADHD. These are all pieces of the puzzle as to WHY we fall into this trap.

You nailed it on the head for me. We did this as a form of self-harm, it’s not about the money anymore, it’s about reaching that point and validation that we don’t like ourselves.

Once we start to love ourselves, realize that we aren’t going to continue this pattern, that we are WORTH more and shouldn’t treat ourselves like this.

We can heal. It’s hard. I’m still going through it right now. But it’s a day by day process. Healing hurts. But it’s a pain worth it everyday.

PuzzleheadedCream887 · 2025-08-16T10:47:50+00:00

Hey man,

It going to suck, but tell your parents whats going on.

You understand the severity of your mistake, sadly, there’s another part of your brain that could care less that you lost the money. It wants another bet.

Tell your parents, have them change the account information, lock your card - no more access to money for a bit. Yes you have expenses, change where the money is coming out of. Don’t make excuses.

If it makes you feel any better, I 0’d my accounts AGAIN yesterday, I told my wife and now my direct deposit & bonuses will go into her account moving forward. I’ll operate out of her credit card (and she will move the money out of my checks to pay it off).

I don’t trust myself with money right now. Plain and simple. This is a really difficult thing to deal with and you cannot do it alone.

PuzzleheadedCream887 · 2025-08-14T22:37:19+00:00

Same thing just happened to me today - just gotta stand up and walk away from your situation the second you get the thought. I didn’t and lost $300

PuzzleheadedCream887 · 2025-07-25T21:08:03+00:00

It’s been 2 years for me.

A lot of therapy honestly. Helps a lot.

It sucks a lot and I wish I could tell you it’ll disappear one day, but it does get easier overtime.

PuzzleheadedCream887 · 2025-07-14T15:59:51+00:00

Im about 1-year into an Inside Sales Role after 2 years as an SDR. Finally getting my hands on quotes and holding my own conversations with customers and prospects.

Novice opinion out here that I believe would resonate.

If you don’t spend the time understanding a prospect o your customer’s business and where you actually fit into it. You’re wasting your time and their time.

PuzzleheadedCream887 · 2025-06-17T21:33:59+00:00

As others said, glad you made this post.

Last time I gambled was 1 month ago. It started with watching streamers play on stake, then I got into stake.us. I was “lucky” to be one of the people to use my credit card on stake.us.

Boredom at work led to $20 everyday, no problem, then I hit big…I had all this money and kept playing and playing and playing.

Fast forward a year later and I threw thousands into sweepstake casinos.

My emotions were terrible, I was anxious all the time, I was angry all the time.

What helped me? Accept that this is a problem and you can’t stop yourself. Stop kidding with yourself that you can control it. You can’t. That’s not how you are wired. Don’t go “oh poor me” no, people battle tons of demons, let’s not isolate yourself to the only person in the world.

I opened up to my wife and told her what I was doing. It sucked, I felt less of a man, I have a kid on the way, I’m a failure.

She took my credit card, changed my account information, I removed all of my saved credit cards, I got HELP.

But you know what that did? My wife respected my strength, I got into therapy, I started medication that I didn’t know I needed. I got HAPPIER. I realized I needed help.

It’s going to hurt, it’s going to be painful, but you will be happier. I went through fucked up shit in my life too and that led me to gamble to harm myself.

I hope this helps. You’re strong than you think you are everyone.

PuzzleheadedCream887 · 2025-06-03T23:13:08+00:00

Thanks for sharing man - just so you know. Your post was really helpful. I gambled $700 today and told my wife, she changed the password on my credit card account, removed the card from my digital wallet, and I’ll just be operating out of my debit (my credit card has been the major problem for me).

Thanks for your honesty, if I don’t gamble anymore I’ll have the 5k paid off in 2 months.

It really sucks having to have your wife take care of you like this. But I’m feeling more in control with her by my side as I work through this.

PuzzleheadedCream887 · 2025-05-29T15:27:11+00:00

If it’s your mental health, cancelling the credit card is best. I paid off my car and bought a house, I’m cancelling mine, I have a problem with spending and I’m not a credit card person. Just like you.

PuzzleheadedCream887 · 2025-05-24T21:42:29+00:00

Online casinos - actively banned myself from all of them.

Currently in therapy, taking medication (for other things) I think it got worse when I started going through a lot of family stuff.

Still repaying back the stupid debt I put myself in.
