Hey G Rec, thank you for your response and advice. I am looking forward to Monday to check out the members groups. I have also read some articles on this site which are very helpful.
As of self-excluding me from the Casinos, I am not sure if this is possible here. Is there such a law in your country, that if I ask them to ban me they are suppose to do that? I don’t think that works that way here. First of all, there are hundreds of Casinos in my city. Yes, they are on every corner, not outside of the city. And this is a capital of my country, not some special gambling city like Vegas or Macao.
As of now I am a couple of days clean and I still don’t have the urge to go. This is because I do other activities I enjoy like watching tv series or movies. These days I especially watch gambling problem movies like “Going for broke”. But I am also aware that the urge may come in near future. I have been “strong” earlier like I think I am now, but I also remember where the urge begins: when some income comes and I feel secure that I now have money, and want to enjoy and somehow in that moment I lie to myself that this will be just an one hour spare time, which we all now it isn’t.
I keep myself mentally prepared for such periods as I know them from experience. As you suggest, it would be good if my wife has all the control over the money. The thing is that in what I do for a living, not all money come through a bank and some of the freelancing money come hand on hand. This is why I must be strong and give them to my wife as soon as they come to my hand.
