Part of my routine was reading about and researching sporting events throughout the wee hours of the night to find a “edge.” This habit usually led me to plan my day around how and when I was going to place my next bet. It is the start of the self destructive gambling process. Instead tonight I will write and read other material that are not about odds and matches. Sports gambling has consumed me. I need to break these bad habits and routines before things spiral out of control. Instead of finding sporting events and ways to gamble on them. I will do the opposite. I find ways to stay away from these things. I will read about other hobbies and events. Then I will map out my day to avoid gambling. I will create a concrete to help me avoid triggers, temptations, and urges. I hope this game plan can help me win my first day gamble free.
