Hi Miss P and thanks for your post to me.
Those damn urges! They are awful but in time they will lessen. The further away from the last bet the smaller they get. I still get them and I try to remember to surrender. I tell myself yes at this very moment I would like to gamble but I surrender to the fact that I am helpless once I start, I can’t stop. One bet is not enough to rid me of that urge, 1000 wouldn’t be enough. Gambling crushes my spirit, makes nervous, sick to my stomach, discusted with my self and stopped being fun a long time ago. Funny how the addiction makes it seem fun and harmless when in fact it would just add to the destruction. Try to remember if you fall for the “urge” the regret is just not worth it!
peace
