I have been working daily on a plan for Friday when I get paid. Every week, I convince myself that there is no way I will go to the casino. Then I disappoint myself on that day. So far I have filled out the diary. I haven’t gone to the casino. I did gamble twice. Once I bought scratch offs. The other time I was at a fundraiser and bought 50/50 tickets. Total of $50 which is nothing compared to the usual damage I do. I did find the information portion of this forum helpful. I’ve been thinking that if I can tolerate the urge to gamble, realize that it will go away, and not act on it. I have never had this kind of crazy urge to do something so destructive before. I have signed in at other times before on my phone; however, I cant write anything on my I phone for some reason. I do appreciate any/all feedback.

Hi Melpit
Jappy has given you some very good advice . Put something in Place before Friday so you cannot act on those urges even if you want to.
A good thing Charles advised me to do is to post your cards to yourself so that u have no access to cash on payday.
Mite be worth a try
