THU 180321 BET £30.00/LOST: £3.00 BAL
Tonight, I went and bet £30.00 on William Hill roulette; it lost...I was left with just £3.00 balance...which is when I decided to quit.
Before my bank balance said: £101.00; and, now, it says just: £71.00 left. I think of all the things I could have done with the £30.00...including leave it inside of the a/c....in order to pay bills, later on; then, I think that the 'gambling' was a total waste of time...not to mention a truly dreadful waste of money, as well.

However, when you are an 'addictive' gambler...; then, it's very difficult, indeed, to stop...; when you have this constant 'itch' going on...that you just cannot wait to scratch...?! Even after losing, the feeling I have is one of sheer 'emotional' fulfilment/release...; as opposed to strictly 'logical' feelings of regret.
I think, what I really should have done...if I 'must' go gambling...is just invest...£5/£10...and, no more. But, investing £30.00 is way too much...especially so, if I realise that the only time the 'addictive' gambler -(me)- is ever, well and truly, going to stop...is when they have little/or, no money left to play with; so, it really doesn't matter how much they either 'win/lose'...because, whatever the outcome is...they just cannot stop gambling.

Looking at things using my 'logical' brain...and, speaking purely as an 'after thought'...instead of going and dumping the money into my William Hill a/c....I would much rather I'd went and spent that £30.00 on buying myself some much needed food.
I brought only chocolates; but, certainly, nothing sensible...I should have brought curry & rice/egg fried rice/-etc. Then, another part of me is thinking...maybe, it's got something to do with 'too much sugar'...and, 'living for being on a high'...after all, they say both 'body/brain' are quite closely interconnected...?!
