It’s morning 5. Still doing ok. Just a few things to note. I had dreams last night. The main dream was that I won a “random jackpot” of 3K on the game crystal waters. A stupid freaking slot. I woke up and for a split second, thought it was real. And I had the “urge.” It’s the first time I really felt it as an URGE, because before, I would give into it before I questioned it. Like my mind thought it was “ok” because it was in a dream.
I decided to allow myself to focus on the urge, knowing that I couldn’t play. And I was able to consciously FEEL myself struggle. Like the angel and the devil. I want to learn more about the urge, or at least focus on it, so I can identify it when it happens. I need to be smarter than my brain (LOL!!). I need to make the urge the enemy and PROVE to IT (and me) that I am not giving into it. It’s like there is a little dude in my head that is manipulating me, selling it to me, telling me “just one more $20.” I beat him this am, so that’s ONE battle that I won.
I then realized that I never got a response to one of my “self-exclude” emails to slotocash. I checked again, and sure enough, there was one of their “marketing bonus” emails sitting in my inbox. Now, I never played with a bonus b/c I HATE the playthrough requirements, but just the logo in the email made me want to play.
I immediately logged in, which made me kind-of A. Excited (with was the bad dude in my head) and B. Sick to my stomach. I then went to a live chat and let them know that I had emailed and got no response and that I needed my account to be cancelled and I needed to self-exclude. She said I had to sign a form, which was emailed immediately. I open the email, with the form attached, and OMG- this is what the email says!!!!!

These people are GREAT at marketing to us CG’s!!! They know RIGHT where to get ya!!! They pick you up “Oh you’re a VIP now!!! FASTER PAYOUTS!!!” Then you fall on your face.
Thankfully, I was able to SEE IT as a marketing ploy. A marketing ploy to the dude in my head to tell me “Go ahead!! See?? They want you!! They LIKE you!! They NEED you!!! You’re one of their best customers!!”
What a pile of BS. And that’s what I’m going to keep telling myself- WHAT A PILE OF BS!!!!!!!!!
I filled out the form, signed it, and sent it back. They can shove their marketing ploys up their as**s.
