i stopped cold turkey, when i dropped all my pride and admitted to myself that i haave been defeated, my main problem is fixating on the losses and wanting so much revenge …also the thougt of winning is so addictive, i think that im smarter than the house, which is wrong …… 18 months ago i just stopped and focused on my work and job and paid out all my debt by extra hours of work …. i associated the smell and look of the casino with disgusting feelings and not any glamour , 18 months down the line i felt in control again…myfinances was looking better, llife was liveable, i forgot about all the pain gambling caused and wanted to just have a 100 dollar gamble… i played safe and coverted my money into about 300 usd… and instead of walking i lost it….now losing triggers a feeling of momentary madnes in me and deposited 1000 to get it back and from there it spiralled to th point where i depleted a lot of my savings again…
