It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. As of today I’m 13 days gamble free. What has helped not gamble for almost two weeks?
-closed my online gambling sites
-set up automatic withdrawal to savings account
I have just enough in my account to cover my utility bills that are automatically debited from my account and a little extra so I don’t feel deprived. This strategy is working for me.
I’m also planning a summer trip and saving for that as well each month. I could easily afford a vacation if I DON’T GAMBLE
I continue to have strong urges but remind myself about the consequences of my actions. I can afford to buy what I need. Trying to get that BIG win feeling out of my head when I place that first bet. It’s not worth starting over to day 1. All the emotions and sleepless night that accompany my addiction. Definitely not worth it!
