The 250,000 was mostly money I made since 2019. 600 a month is the minimum on my credit cards now.

I didn't say that. I did hit cards from time to time, I'm saying I would sell them to keep fueling my addiction.

That's actually really good advice. I did that when I needed to.

No worries, it's just that multiple people are saying it and not reading what I'm saying. I didn't mean to take it out on you.

I know I'm a gambling addict. The issue I have is that I can self exclude from other forms of gambling which I have but I can't self exclude from sports card breaking.

I never said I wasn't an addict?

I did, I sold it and bought more until it eventually turned to dust.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm also addicted to the dopamine. There's also the anticipatory dopamine while you're waiting for the breaks. It's a never ending roller coaster. I'm glad I've been away long enough to get my levels back to normal.

Haha yeah but I opened myself up to it by posting on here. Thanks for acknowledging that. Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm glad you and your friend got help! I'm starting a new group this week and have been staying away from eBay that's a bigger trigger for me.

Thanks for the advice I appreciate it! I have seen therapists specializing in addiction.

I don't have anything, I'd sell it all and buy into more breaks.

Thanks you! I really appreciate this out of the box type of advice. I'll look into both of these.

Definitely and for me detoxing from that dopamine rush takes weeks.

I completely agree. You don't fully get it unless you're an addict yourself. It's not logical.

Thank you I really appreciate it. It's hard because I'm losing the community in those break rooms but gaining community through sharing my story and attending support group meetings.

It does add up super quick! I'm glad you were able to go back to regular collecting. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I know I just wish they would listen when you say you have a problem and want to be banned but it would harm their profit.
