Kin is very right about dopamine and brain chemistry. I run into alot of difficulty after a month of recovery. I am trying to make sure there is lots of other activities to keep my mind occupied and tired out mentally and physically. Access to cash is a given to gambling addiction. protect it and give over responsibility to someone you trust while in early recovery. Or get your bank cards to zero withdrawal amount if in a casino. Tear up credit cards a must too. Going to GA meetings or one one councilling helps a lot too. You can try hypnosis on line as well that can work and is free. Support groups like ours here are great too. FG If on line gambling use blockers too.
