I have daily temptations to gamble. Think of how I can gamble, where to get money to gamble and type of gambling I want to do.
n
nThis happens multiple times a day. First I distract myself and keep busy doing something else. After sometime the urge or temptation slowly goes away. After all I now know I want to stop gambling or at least losing.
n
nI have no access to money if I did I could lose it all quickly.
nWhen I get paid, I pay my bills and take the rest in cash, carry a small amount for daily expenses and give the rest to a trusted person to hold for me.
n
nIf I leave myself vulnerable to my addiction it will have devastating consequences. I picture my family, It harms me and it harms them. There is no reason to live this way, life is good and I continue on the path to freedom one day at a time.
