Well done man, £400 is still a lump to lose in one sitting with loads of cash or none, I try to think about how pissed off I’d be if it fell out my back pocket cos I fume if I can’t account for a pound coin IRL ?
With easing back in like with any addiction it depends how long and how much you gamble and what your like personally.. Like with alcoholics, some can knock the compulsion to binge drink and can then enjoy a glass of wine with a friend now and again, others can’t and once they’ve developed a problem can never touch it again without falling back into the old ways
Next time your loan comes in remember that shit feeling you have now x
