Luckily I have never lost sleep over gambling. I've always gambled within my means and kept my bets semi-low. If you're having trouble with gambling and losing sleep over your losses it's time to take a step back and re-evaluate your addiction. Please, if you're spending money you can't afford to lose, get some help or counseling for your gambling.
Lucky for you mate. Frankly speaking, this was my very first time to engaged in such act of self inflected gambling addition. I have seen many addict's and their end results; this has been my fears of not getting addicted while I gamble but was caught unaware in the act of gambling that caused me #30,000. As you have rightly said, I need to checkmate myself in order to avoid future occurrence.
You seem to be very self-aware of your actions which is not something that you see from those that got some problems with their gambling, just make sure this mistake does not happen again because as we you state these are difficult times since now we are dealing with having to quarantine ourselves in our homes and we do not know what it could happen in the future.

I wasn't myself for almost 4-6 days but right now am healthier than before and if giving another chance to gamble I will do wonderfully well beyond human recognition.
Most of my times now are for me to look after the family and to carryout my forum posting targets. Also, I have chosen many courses to participate in during this stay at home policy. Currently have gotten Blockchain expert certification and have moved into other projects just to acquire the needed knowledge for my hustling.
It is nice to see that you are already moving forward, after all there is nothing you can do to recover that money so you did the right thing by accepting your losses unlike many people that try to recover the money they lost and end up losing more money at the end.
