      Keep posting, keep learning about the addiction and how the addiction takes control of you… Every action you make will have a reaction, so think wisely about your choices as you follow your new path

      I haven’t gambled for exactly 1 month now. 2 days ago my brain tried to trick me into believing that if I played solid poker (my A game that is)  I could actually make money. I came close to installing poker software, but then realized I have blocking software installed. I quickly realized I installed that software for a reason, came to this site, read a couple of posts and forgot about gambling. I just know I can’t beat the games and it’s such a waste in time in addition to wasting money.
      I’m on my way to Ukraine now and I used to play live poker there a lot, anytime we went there. Small games, a lot of fun, good food. I hope, however, I won’t give in. If I weren’t a compulsive gambler I could go there have fun with the boys, play for a couple of hours and then, win or lose, leave. But being a compulsive gambler a visit there could open a door to something very ugly and unpleasant.

      I’m actually driving though Poland to get there. I’ve been to Romania actually a few ***** when I was a kid. I’m from Yugoslavia (Serbia) originally. Left over 20 years ago though. My mom’s grandfather was born in Romania, but he was a Hungarian himself. Long story…

      I don’t really remember, it was a long time ago. I know we visited Bucarest and Timisoara and if I remember correctly we even skied one time somewhere in Romania.
      And yes, I love Eastern Europe, if no for other reason, then for its women!!!   :)))
