Hi Sjc,
OK, so you can’t gamble because you have no money. Great – now how can you use that? What barriers can you put in place before next pay day? Exclude from where you gamble? Accountability and limiting your instant, easy access to funds with which to gamble?
Words, promises and even intentions rarely stop someone from gambling. It is actions that count. If you take those actions now while you can’t gamble then you will be less likely/able to when you do have money.
Using support is also important – here you have the forums, groups and helpline here. Lots of other support around these days as well. Keep posting, let us know the positive actions you are taking.
