Breaking the Cycle: My Struggle with Online Casino Addiction and Cryptocurrency Gambling

What is addiction?

Addiction is a complex issue that can affect people of all ages, backgrounds, genders, and identities.

To confess, I grapple with a rather challenging circumstance. It's not an easy admission for me but, I find myself entangled in the compelling grip of an addiction which draws me mightily towards online casinos. Not simply the common variants, but those where the stakes hinge on cryptocurrencies - an aspect that further enhances both the complexity and allure of the situation for me.

This particular habit of mine has served as a root cause of numerous problems in my life, fostering feelings of desolation and depression.

Despite occasionally winning, I find it challenging to walk away from the game. Even after withdrawing funds, I often end up depositing them again, resulting in continuous losses.

While I've managed to recover some of my losses at times, the cycle repeats itself as I succumb to the urge to gamble further. This pattern has caused me to lose everything multiple times, surpassing my previous losses by a significant margin.

Even though I consistently make a point to remind myself to halt and explore other recreational routes, the allure of gambling continues to exert a powerful force, invariably pulling me back into the periodic rhythm.
