Ok. Your situation is very different to mine however it’s the same I just have lot better opportunities to control it .
I am sorry to hear about your mother and your dad is not being very supportive so is your sister l but my mother is like that too and my dad is a compulsive gambler and I some times think have I got it in my genes but I know I haven’t .
Here are some control strategies that might help you
When you go out of your house don’t take your cards or money with you only take enough to come back home with .
Every Morning tell your self that you will be free from gambling . Affirmation is very powerful .
Go to ga meeting and try meeting with people who won this addiction and find out ways to stop yours , I know this is easier said than done.
Work out what times of the day or night you go to the casino and try making your self busy at those times by either cooking healthy food or joining a art class or some other free courses you can .
If you are religious try going to church or which ever religion you follow
Meditation is great try mastering meditation special at times when you get urge to gamble .
Remember you never own and never will
Write a journal here and keep diary of your successes and struggles . I started mine today you are more than welcome to follow mine or join with me .
Take one day at a time . Focus on now and forget about past and future .
I use positive affirmations to get rid of negative thoughts in my brain .
Casinos are hypnotising us in order to take our money and make us their salves once you recognise what triggers off you to gamble is when you can work on those thoughts .
It’s all in the mind and you are a very strong person hence why you are addicted to gambling it only happens to people like me and you .
