Still in the middle of it: Dragon's been kinder but I'm chasing the wrong thing now

So that 80x on DragonSlots from last week? Proper screenshot moment, Cal even saw it when he was on shift at LuckyVibe and said "there she is" like I was someone. But I've given half back now, chasing that same buzz, and the new girl on chat just copy-pastes "best of luck" like I'm any random punter.
Here's my actual question though — sister's birthday Tuesday and I still haven't bought anything, but I had this thought sitting there at 1am with a 40x that barely covered my stake: do any of you actually *stop* when you hit the weekly target? Or is the target just a story we tell ourselves?
Because I keep thinking "this covers the week" and then I'm still there at 3am for a 25x that doesn't even register. And I know I'm not alone in this but I need to hear it from someone who's not a chat bot programmed to say "responsible gambling tools are available"
My week's technically covered. Rent's still owed, birthday's still coming, but the slots are paid for. So why does that feel like failure instead of win?
What actually makes you close the tab? Not the "should" — the actual moment you know you're done

Aye Silviadaw I know that one—DragonSlots been alright to me too lately but it's the *after* that's the killer isn't it. That 80x felt massive in the moment but where's it sitting now, still in there or you pulled it? I tell myself I'll bank it then I'm straight back in chasing the screenshot that tops it.
Payday landed this week so I've got breathing room for once but that's exactly when I get dangerous. Claire's stopped even asking what I'm doing on my phone and I cant tell if that's worse than when she was shouting about it.

ChloeRivera locked how long? DragonSlots or one of the others?
Proper question is whether you're still *in* WR or they've gone full pending-KYC on you. First one maths itself out, second one just chews weekend hours

That 80x still in there or you rode it up looking for the 200x? Cal's a good eye but I've watched more people remember the screenshot than the final balance

I told people I was taking a break last week too, whole time I was spinning Wanted Dead at 2am lol. That "there she is" moment tho — I screenshot my 80x from March still got it as my wallpaper but nobody ever saw it happen, just the after. Feels like if Cal doesn't say it did you even hit it

That "there she is" hit different when nobody's watching — I've got a 600x on cleobetra from god knows when, same thing, just the balance after and my own word for it. Swear half the rush is having *someone* else see it live, otherwise its just numbers moving in a dark room.

That wallpaper thing hit me weird — I screenshot my sister's £1.8K cleobetra hit from last year and still look at it when im dry, like proof the thing actually pays *someone* in this family
...Wait you said march 80x, I meant the nobody-watching part, sorry*
