Hi Laura
It is so difficult sometimes – we must stay super aware and even then we must be super strong .
I really haven’t overcome this addiction even a little bit – but my years of self banning from online casinos means I am banned from opening accounts with almost all casino networks across Europe and America ! I often want to gamble but I can’t .
It is even more difficult when it is land based casinos – you can’t fit blocking software to your car – OMG I think I have just invented something – an car alarm that goes off if your car keys enter a casino – lol! Think of the walk of shame of everyone knowing that you have triggered the alarm as you return to your car !
Anyway looking at your shiny car and comparing it to the shiny nothings that gambling gave us is probably a great motivator !
Hope to hear an update soon !
