Thanks for sharing with me. I also find it hard to resist the urge, even when I am driving, I try to talk myself out of it but once that part of my brain kicks in there is no stopping it. My therapist said it is a chemical in the brain that kicks in and once we have it in our head that we are going to gamble, we will. We have to find something to overcome that. My triggers can be anything from a bad day to even a great day and I want to celebrate by gambling. It’s a lose-lose situation for me. We can only try to steer clear of the path we know is destructive.

Definitely easier said than done but you’re right, we should never give up trying.
