Badsportsbettor Congrats on your 4-5 months staying gamble free. What a great accomplishment!
This is great advice. I will try and avoid looking up games totals and point spreads for tonight’s game (over/under). I too will play until my money is gone. I wasn’t in my manic state yesterday, but still managed to place a few NBA bets. I told myself just withdraw the money and you’ll be set. But no, after my post I still thought I could make some more money. I gambled the remaining money in my account yesterday/this morning. Part of me was happy just to get rid of the money. Now I don’t have money and feeling bad. It’s like going on a diet. I will binge eat and then I’ll start all over tomorrow. I’m not counting days just yet. This is too overwhelming for me. T’ve been gambling everyday for the last two years. I really need to wrap my head around this.

I do enjoy working out so will go to the gym later today. It’s the addiction of having a bet placed when I leave the house. Something to look forward to later in the day when I’m get home from work. The irony is that it’s not relaxing and causing myself more harm and stress both physically and emotionally.

I did not look at tonight’s NBA lines. Will post my gamble free days when in due time. Don’t want to stress about getting there. If I worry about this.. I will not post my progress…
