    Best part is when you have so many things to do , there is no time to think of gambling . Hope to continue like this .

    My thoughts are is to find and get involved an alternative interest which is more challenging due to which you can’t gamble and the new interst be a positive one . When I mean positve challenge it means which promises to make you happy and which actually makes you happy . Gambling is negative challenge because it promises to make you happy but it never makes you happy . Appreciate your thaughts .

    I visited gambling recovery center last week and had an opportunity to discuss my gambling problem . I got two simple advise which I believe will help me and also others so I am posting it here .

    (1) Just don’t make next one bet .
    (2) Just don’t take next one loan .

    It has been 10 days since I made my last bet and I have been able to not to make any bet even with play money . I have been able not even going into the website on my laptop ,casino is very far . But I wonder if this is because I am struggling for money only . Only with time will know . Would appreciate thoughts on how to not make next bet when we have money next time . Two things comes to my mind (1) Love of something (2) Fear of something . I am sure I have both and just have to develop more of it and make it stronger and stronger .

    When I look back all my loosing sessions of gambling over last 7 – 8 years one thing stands out that I couldn’t stop when I lost and I continued to loose big . This I believe is a gambling problem which can cause lot of damage . I wonder why can’t we stop when we loose ? Is seems natural to win back what has been lost but in gambling it doesn’t works it ends up in more losses and more losses . I have failed to understand these actions of mine .
