Hi M6M6,
in the beginning I had to have someone hold my money for me. Then after about a month I had my bank card back but I had a family member monitor my bank account and spending. I provided receipts so i couldn’t return items or get cash back without them knowing. it was someone I really didn’t want to disappoint. I feel i had hit my rock bottom. So I was putting in place things others had told me would help. Every time I thought of gambling, I would mentally change the picture to something else. It took a little while but eventually not everything reminded me of a slot machine.
One bet is too many and thousand is never enough! Stay away from that first bet!
Have a good one!
