Hi Kin
Understanding the dopamine and serotonin helps to explain what happens when an addiction is triggered but doesn’t help if you don’t know why you were triggered in the first place – maybe you need to look at that which you say you do know about yourself -how you feel and how it leads you to gamble.
So Kin, how do you feel and how does it lead you to gamble?
Keep posting Kin. I have so many of your wise words tucked away but sadly words are not enough – they offer guidance and help us to think, which is great but thought doesn’t always translate into action.
Maybe you could work on changing situations, lessening the times when the ‘same thing happens again’. What difference can you make to your life to bring ‘you’ to a different conclusion?
