Don’t mention the word „hangover“. I have been up all night. That in itself brings a hangover. ( also exacerbates underlying health issues which I neglected when I gambled)
You are taking the „One pay day at a time“ approach,IDI.
Add „one urge at a time“ and you will see how well you are doing by discarding the gambling thoughts .
It scares me to have long targets.
When I worked night duty, I never thought of gambling on my 7 nights on until the final night . Then, on my week off all hell would break lose. But not everyone thinks like that. I feel if I hold my breath for too long, I will explode.
What has helped me to remain gamble free this month so far, was getting involved in house decorating and planning visits from family. When I am in the throes of decorating/home-making/work, gambling never enters my mind.
When I’m in the throes of gambling REAL LIFE never enters my mind.
Gambling consumes me totally. I become a slave.
Want to be a slave???
I WANT TO BE FREE! I’m sure we all do!
