Hi David and welcome to GT. Every day we don’t gamble is important and two days is an additional day away from destruction. Great job! There will be a ‘welcome’ coming from GT with links that will help. My suggestion would be to spend as much time as possible reading and posting just to keep yourself away from the slot machines. Do you have any blocks in place like handing all financial matters to your wife? I cut up my debit card, limited all access to cash and stopped check writing privileges at the casinos within 150 miles. It’s hard to do at first because I didn’t really want to stop gambling…I just wanted to stop the losses but now I know I want a life without gambling…that took a couple of years before I made that choice. I’m a slow learner. I’ve been to Montana a couple of *****. It’s a beautiful State but it does have a lot of gambling venues. Not sure how their self-banning works but you might want to check into that too. You’ve taken a big first step to a better life. Nice to meet you. Sherry
