"Gambling, losing money isn't the frightening part; what's truly alarming is losing the mindset and capability for a stable life. You become lethargic, disinterested in everything, and may even lose the ability to think. Only in the moment of revealing the cards do your eyes light up.
Moreover, you lose your job, friends, family, social connections, and the trust others had in you.
When winning, you boast and revel, living extravagantly, thinking you are invincible. When losing, your temper becomes particularly explosive.
Is such a person worthy of trust?
Why, after countless reflections, regrets, tears, and even self-inflicted harm, do you return to the gambling table?
Because you've lost a stable mindset, become impatient for quick success, and increasingly restless.
You're no longer willing to endure a hard day's work, constantly thinking about the past glory when you could throw away fortunes. So, with meager wages in hand, you find yourself back at the gambling table.
Once again, entering that seemingly endless and destructive cycle.
Two major illusions of a gambler: luck and strategy. If you lose today, it's either bad luck or the wrong strategy.
Many people have attempted to quit gambling. They make vows, slap themselves, even self-harm in determination to quit. But as soon as they have some money, they are enticed to give it to the house again.
Quitting gambling is truly challenging. Every time you resolve to quit, the lure of money can pull you back into the cycle. I am currently in such a state." |
