I haven’t gambled for exactly 1 month now. 2 days ago my brain tried to trick me into believing that if I played solid poker (my A game that is) I could actually make money. I came close to installing poker software, but then realized I have blocking software installed. I quickly realized I installed that software for a reason, came to this site, read a couple of posts and forgot about gambling. I just know I can’t beat the games and it’s such a waste in time in addition to wasting money.
I’m on my way to Ukraine now and I used to play live poker there a lot, anytime we went there. Small games, a lot of fun, good food. I hope, however, I won’t give in. If I weren’t a compulsive gambler I could go there have fun with the boys, play for a couple of hours and then, win or lose, leave. But being a compulsive gambler a visit there could open a door to something very ugly and unpleasant.
