Jvr: thanks so much for your reply
I appreciate any and all support
Offered to me…
I live in Canada too- Ontario region
Believe it or not

I attended gambling therapy for a whole year
When I went to visit my mom one time in the hospital while she was alive, and I noticed they were offering problem gambling help there…
I had a very good counselor…
She
Gave me a lot of good advice
And said some of the same
Good things mentioned on this forum…
The biggest
Helpful advice she gave me was
“If you can’t control the amount
Of money you’re spending on gambling
Then abstinence is the key to success “

So now, that you’ve made that suggestion, I am thinking at this point “I must be extremely stubborn”? Why do I keep spending money on this disease when I know that the chances of winning are very difficult? I know that I play a game and I try and guess the patterns of numbers to come up in it ….but so far I haven’t gotten rich trying to guess that?

I also find that I am not in denial over the fact I have a gambling issue…. I am in denial of how much money I’ve spent and lost at it?
Thanks for listening and I hope
You’re having a GF day
