Up by 17% in 3 months and becoming a degenerate

I only found out about stocks 3 months ago from social media and decided to give it a try. I cashed in a couple thousands and have been gambling ever since. I don’t know anything about stocks, really. I looked at the chart and went for the extremely volatile stocks. I’ve been winning ever since but I know my luck will eventually run out. I could have gained over 100% but my stop-loss has held me back countless times and now I’m starting to consider getting rid of them. How do you guys not get addicted to this?
