The addicted voice tries to rationalize why it is ok to gamble again. That voice is a liar. Don’t listen to it. Whether you believe it is yourself or some beast, it doesn’t matter. It is lying. There is no joy in the aftermath. Even if you won, the guilt and feeling s of failure are not worth the money. To feel like I can’t control myself, that is what I think makes me the most upset when I give in. I am not weak, yet I let some lying urge control my actions? Not a good feeling. Your brain is starting to normalize, the addiction is starving. Don’t feed it. Its like when you quit smoking, just like that. Do you ever want to live day one again?
