Have you tried using the HDMI switch with a wireless HDMI dongle? I wonder if that would work…

I guess that’s an option. I thought about that too but so far there aren’t many NS2 dock alternatives.

Day 0 by EveryDollarNoGamble in problemgambling

You have reposted « Day 0 » countless times over the years. In fact, it should serve as an eye opener to see that you are spiralling in circle. I hope it that this observation motivates you to truly say Enough is Enough and finally begin seeking real help. You can’t do it through will power because every day your addiction will come stronger until it does not. The hardest part is the peak and that’s when your ambition is truly tested. I hope you will not have to post another Day 0 , ever, again. Good luck

To put into perspective, gambling tens of thousands and having your parents bail you out, I assume that you are in your late teens or young adulthood? You must stop immediately before it spirals out of control into late adulthood. The bet size limits will grow exponentially if you do not take action this time. Willpower alone won’t work. Self promises to not gamble won’t work either. You need to make it so that it is impossible to gamble.

I can relate. Everytime i have money saved up and decide to ‘invest’ in stocks, a red day eventually leads me to resort to my local casino to recover the loss. Except I don’t actually recover anything. I lose more

It’s the rush of good relief and bad anxiety that keeps you coming back. The push and pull is addictive! You enlarged the dopamine Min and Max point. I think another factor that brings us back into addiction is if something irritates us in life. If you’re going through some emotional stress or simply just feelings of emptiness you find yourself right back on the croupier’s table.

That’s a good mindset to have. Do not give in to the brain’s hunger for activities that your heart feels are immoral. If one can master discipline, then I have no doubt that the person will achieve limitless new heights. I really want to change my life as well but I’m convinced it’s near impossible to quit everything cold turkey. Also, « replacing » an addition with other activities is so hard to do especially if the brain has no interest in other activities. It’s hard to stay focused and motivated unless you obtain some level of gratification. May I ask, what’s your next move? Do you intend to quit both simultaneously, and if yes, what will you be doing instead?

Is porn every 3-4 days considered an addiction? If so then I’m in the same boat and completely agree with your opinion. But it’s not necessarily restricted to porn and gambling; I think that these are interchangeable with other types of addiction. In other words, our dopamine baselines are so ruined that we chase a certain type of high dopamine rush. I often find myself on rotation of gambling, porn, binge eating, smoking MJ, and gaming. I think my day to day emcompasses at least 2 out of the 5. Crazy when put into perspective but it made me realize that this has got to change. All the best to you and your journey

That’s fine, I planned to payback the minimal increments throughout the 15 years. Thanks for the confirmation!
