Your not alone. all of us share the pain and anguish that gambling addiction causes to ourselves and others. I dont post often but read others postings as they usually will have some relevance to my situation. The best advice at the moment is self exclude. I did that right from the start on September 25 2017 and haven’t gambled on anything since that day. If i would not have done that i would have gambled. Second i found a gambling anonymous group and attend weekly. Third i went to counseling for one on one weekly. I still attend that meeting. I also fill in time either by working. Going to gym the movies spending time with family. You must fill the time or you may make time to gamble. I told my family..what a hard thing to do but what a relief. They may not understand the addiction but they have compassion and are proud of me for admitting my problem and seeking help and putting barriers in place. Limit your access to money!!!if you have it the casino may get it. They have in the past. Take one day at atime. Believe in yourself and know there is alot more to life then spending your time and money on gambling. Breath.your gamblung free life is going to be GREAT! Good luck
