Hello Kin:
I hope you are feeling better!
I found out by responding to someone’s
Post & I feel bad when anyone goes through
A difficult struggle…
Kin /other gambling recovery folks :
It’s tough to stay gamble -free-
I won’t lie….
I find I’m easily triggered by something someone said the previous day, or dealing with a rude customer, or something going wrong at my school board work….
I now try to realize just how much money (thousands!)
I’ve lost trying to win “the big one”
I admit I have a gambling issue…
But I seem to be in denial about how much I’ve spent /lost
In the past years …
Someone
Made the suggestion of taking my expired/lost tickets I get out of thelottery machine, and hang them on my door of my computer desk, and add up just how much I’ve lost ….it’s mind boggling!!!
Hopefully this will show me just how much I’ve spent in the past(and lost!!)
And also, I am trying to realize that when I have a bad day, people are bothering me/rude customers/tough day doing my school board job ….that tomorrow will be a brighter day, and even if it isn’t ;gambling or escaping to gambling isn’t going to solve my issues! it just makes me feel worse, because then I feel bad afterwards I spent the money and lost the money on gambling?
