I remember a long time ago when I lost a significant amount of money. I was devastated and didn't want to do anything, but at one point I realized I needed to move on and stop convincing myself I could get rich through gambling, since I'd never managed to come up with a truly profitable strategy. I decided to get a job and work; there's nothing wrong with that, only good, because it allows me to live and plan for the future. And after a long break, I began to view gambling simply as a pastime in which I'd spend no more than 3-5% of my monthly income, and that's enough for me after many years; it's my balance.
Same here. I literally can’t remember the last time I really felt the pain of losing in gambling, back then it was almost like a normal routine for me. I’d lose huge amounts of money. I remember when I refused a small amount to stake a game, got a reasonable cashout that wasn’t so different from the actual win, maybe just a few tens, but I still refused to take, insisted I needed the whole bag and I ended up losing everything, that was one of the most painful experiences for me thinking about it now. Taking a long break from gambling made me realize and see clearly the mistakes that felt invisible to me back then.
