Hello everyone…

I am back after having a “slip” as my counselor calls it. I had been to the casino 3 times in the past 3 weeks… won a total of about $2,000. Went back last night because I was running low on cash and I ended up losing the rest of the money I had to my name. So I am currently in that “bad feeling” state. I am hoping to come on here to gain some support back.

Thanks guys

Hi Jessica,
Nowa the best time to put your barriers up, while you are feeling low.
This addiction has the uncanny ability to make us forget just how bad we end up feeling.
How about excluding from the casino? Exclusion, for me was the best and strongest barrier and has worked wonders.
Maybe it’s time to confide in someone and ask for help. Make yourself accountable for your money?
On the plus, woohoo for coming back! I think that it’s so easy to bury your head in the sand and hide, so there’s a step in the right direction!
Take care, K xx

yeah when I start having a little money again and if I feel the urges I will have to have someone else handle my money until I feel safe to… I have done it many times before… thanks for reminding me.
