My thought processes are like this currently:
1) Minor urge/trigger : immediately dismiss it
2) Moderate urge/trigger: think about it rationally for a moment, recall all the lessons I’ve learned about gambling –> dismiss it
3) Strong urge/trigger: mentally battle between rational thoughts/actually gambling –> weigh up options/avenues of gambling I have –> realize that I’m self-excluded and banned from every single offline/online gambling facility in my city –> memories associated with the reasons I put those blockers up in the first place kick in –> rational thinking returns to the driver’s seat –> dismiss the urges and feel great knowing that I can overcome even the strongest of triggers and urges to gamble.
