It is all about mindset, IDI.
I can convince myself that I won’t survive the day without gambling, when I am in the gambling mode. I lived to gamble and believed I gambled to live despite the fact that I was dying inside. Delusional thinking!
On the other hand, I can tell myself and believe that I DO NOT want to gamble when the mindset changes. Reality versus delusion!
Larry, (who used to post here) always said the only/best barrier is a mental barrier.
When I am gambling, my mind is full of “gambling junk”. The air I breathe stinks of casino fumes. It destroys my judgement my will and my reason.
When I am free of gambling, my thoughts / words/ actions are like those of a different person.
I operate on a totally different plain.
I breathe on “room air” to use an old occupational term.
Gambling contaminates everything we touch.
Today I will not gamble.
De cluttering is symbolic of change in my experience.
Out with the old. In with the new.
