    I was suckered into the shark cards on GTA Online, I worked terrible hours and it was my escape.

    I bought shark cards for thousands of SEK ocer a year or so, not much in compared to normal whales, but I did feel the addiction drawing me in harder.

    Then one day I had just had enough, and uninstalled the game, else I knew I would continue.

    I am glad though, the money I spent was not wasted, it taught me a valuable lesson about what to look out for, and how to recognize sinkholes like this.

      It’s good that you managed to wake up and take care of yourself. Players with that pattern are called dolphins.
