Weekend flew by and I made it to day 18. Wasn’t able to finish the book but made some progress. Watched a lot of 90 day fiancee on Hulu and that reminds me, there was a couple on there, whom the husband was dealing with a gambling addiction. It was tough on their relationship and the wife didn’t trust him with money or to go out at all. I think it’s good to see it play out on TV and self-reflect that we are all going through that same situation.

Hi kolberg, 

I’m glad you didn’t reset your gamble free daily *****. Rooting for you to keep it going to day 5000000! Are you open with your friends about your issues? Perhaps they would be more mindful about asking you to go to the casino if they were aware.

Към Ден 15 на това да не играете безплатно! Уикендът е тук и за много зависими от хазарта това е опасното време. Има толкова много спортни събития и обикновено не работим, така че имаме време да залагаме. Това бях старият аз. Новият мен не ме интересува какви игри предстоят. Бих искал да стигна до момент, в който мога да гледам мач и да съм страстен за резултата, без да имам пари на линия. Мисля обаче, че ще изчакам още малко, преди да гледам спорт. n nОчаквам с нетърпение да прекарам време с жена си и кучето си, докато състоянието ми преминава в режим на допълнителна карантина. И дано успея да завърша книгата на Алън Кар този уикенд, но ще видим. Важното е, че нямам копнеж за хазарт или чувство, че пропускам нещо. Този облак вече не виси над главата ми.

Op dag 15 van gokvrij zijn! Het is weekend en voor veel gokverslaafden is dit de gevaarlijke tijd. Er zijn zoveel sportevenementen gaande en we zijn meestal niet aan het werk, dus we hebben tijd om te wedden. Dat was de oude ik. De nieuwe ik geeft er niet om welke games er komen. Ik zou graag een punt bereiken waarop ik naar een wedstrijd kan kijken en gepassioneerd kan zijn over de uitkomst zonder dat er geld op het spel staat. Ik denk echter dat ik nog even wacht voordat ik naar sport ga kijken. n nIk kijk ernaar uit om tijd door te brengen met mijn vrouw en hond terwijl mijn staat in quarantaine gaat. En hopelijk kan ik dit weekend Allen Carr's boek afmaken, maar we zullen zien. Het belangrijkste is dat ik geen trek heb in gokken of het gevoel heb dat ik iets mis. Die wolk hangt niet meer boven mijn hoofd.

Onto Day 15 of being gamble free! The weekend is here and for a lot of gambling addicts, this is the dangerous time. There’s so many sporting events going on and we’re usually not working so we have time to bet. That was the old me. The new me doesn’t care about what games are coming up. I would like to get to a point where I can watch a game and be passionate about the outcome without having money on the line. However, I think I’ll wait a while longer before watching sports.
n
nI’m looking forward to spending time with my wife and dog while my state goes into further quarantine mode. And hopefully I can finish Allen Carr’s book this weekend but we’ll see. The important thing is that I’m not having gambling cravings or feeling like I’m missing out on something. That cloud isn’t hanging over my head anymore.

Здравей Рено,

Има толкова много причини, поради които сме пристрастени към хазарта. За мен мислех, че това е така, защото съм бил пристрастен към победата или да съм коректен или да бъда по -умен от букмейкърите. Но сега не съм толкова сигурен дали това беше. Наистина ли се наслаждавах на стреса от това, че трябваше да се моля за дъното на 9 -ия HR, за да спечеля, или моят екип да се върне от 13 -те надолу през 4 -та четвърт? И ако моят екип направи това чудо да се върне, наистина ли бях толкова умен? Наистина ли ми беше приятно да гледам извлечението по кредитната си карта и да видя, че нямам достатъчно пари, за да го изплатя? Не мисля така. Сега, мисля, че това е глупаво.

И няма едно единствено решение за спиране. Мисля, че трябва да опитате комбинация от различни неща, ако искате да спрете. За мен това, че бях напълно отворен и честен относно пристрастяването и борбите със съпругата ми, помогна. Този форум помогна. Чета и книги за отказване от хазарт. Отказах се от контрола върху финансите си, за да може съпругата ми да ме наблюдава. Опитах да се консултирам с лицензиран терапевт. Посещавал съм и някои от срещите на GA zoom. Трябва да намерите това, което работи за вас.

Hallo Reno,

Er zijn zoveel redenen waarom we verslaafd zijn aan gokken. Voor mij dacht ik dat het kwam omdat ik verslaafd was aan winnen of gelijk hebben of slimmer zijn dan de bookmakers. Maar nu weet ik niet zo zeker of dat het was. Heb ik echt genoten van de stress van het moeten bidden voor een bodem van de 9e HR om te winnen of om mijn team terug te laten komen van een achterstand van 13 in het 4e kwartaal? En als mijn team die wonderbaarlijke comeback maakte, was ik dan echt zo slim? Vond ik het echt leuk om naar mijn creditcardafschrift te kijken en te zien dat ik niet genoeg contant geld had om het af te betalen? Ik denk het niet. Nou, dat vind ik dom.

En er is ook niet één enkele oplossing om te stoppen. Ik denk dat je een combinatie van verschillende dingen moet proberen als je wilt stoppen. Voor mij heeft het geholpen om volledig open en eerlijk te zijn over mijn verslaving en worsteling met mijn vrouw. Dit forum heeft geholpen. Ik lees ook boeken over stoppen met gokken. Ik heb de controle over mijn financiën opgegeven, zodat mijn vrouw me in de gaten kan houden. Ik heb counseling geprobeerd met een gediplomeerde therapeut. Ik heb ook enkele van de GA-zoomvergaderingen bijgewoond. Je moet vinden wat voor jou werkt.

Hi Reno,

There’s so many reasons why we are addicted to gambling. For me, I thought it was because I was addicted to winning or being correct or being smarter than the bookies. But now, I’m not so sure if that was it. Did I truly enjoy the stress of having to pray for a bottom of the 9th HR to win or having my team come back from down 13 in the 4th quarter? And if my team made that miraculous come back, was I really so smart? Did I really enjoy looking at my credit card statement and seeing that I didn’t have enough cash to pay it off? I don’t think so. Now, I think that’s stupid. 

And there isn’t one single solution to stoppping either. I think you have to try a combination of different things if you want to stop. For me, being completely open and honest about my addiction and struggles with my wife has helped. This forum has helped. I’m also reading books about quitting gambling. I’ve given up control of my finances so my wife can monitor me. I’ve tried counseling with a licensed therapist. I’ve also attended some of the GA zoom meetings.  You have to find what works for you.
