Hi 3racer,
I’m really happy to hear that you made it to day 175. That’s a major accomplishment. And thank you for sharing what you’ve just gone through. It was helpful for me to read. I agree with the post above that the amount of the bet doesn’t matter. It’s the action that we all crave. Self control is the key to everything. We can give our money to someone else. We can call 2000 gambling establishments and exclude. We can buy exclusion software for all electronic gambling devises. But truth being told there is always a way for an addict to get action in one form or another. The key is knowing that and no acting on it. You will get back to 175 and beyond. Be strong my friend and choose the right path. Because of you I can make it and will not gamble for today.
Don;t forget ever that you are great. You are powerful. You control your thoughts therefore you control the world around you. Be the person you want to be 1 day at a time. Don’t think about yesterday and don’t think about tomorrow. Just live this one day the best that you can.
