Well done, SJ!
Those fake slots really keep gambling in the front of a CG’smind in my experience. For me it’s like putting the addiction on hold until I get a chance to get back in action. I can say the same for games on the mobile phones. Once I start playing I can’t stop. I keep saying “just one more go”! I used to play games on the phone on my way to the casino. Imagine playing games while driving! Just proved to me that there is a link.
The good news SJ, is that it is easier to stop the “fakes” because you are not chasing losses there. Keeping clear of “devices” where they are available is the best barrier. I carry two phones with me most of the time so I just had to out up a mental barrier and say “No games!”
Glad to see you posting SJ!
Your mind will be clearer without those games and your time will be your own. We are only powerless when we START playing. Postpone the next “bet” !
