Thank you for the encouragement. I have self excluded myself from the casinos – but still go. I have tried GA – and while I went to the meetings, I felt stronger about not gambling. Yes, good idea – I will start going again.

I went to counseling – and it did help when I was going. Another good suggestion -I need to get myself back into therapy.

You are right. I fell down again and now I need to get back up. I don’t have to stay down. I know how to pick myself back up.

Thank you so much for the encouraging words and advice.

I hope you are as encouraging and kind to yourself as you have been to me.

Namaste p

I gladly accept your outreached hand. Here is mine in return.

I will not go to the casino tonight. I need to remember how insane “I” really think this all is; how angry I was last week; how to gamble is to lose; how “I”really don’t want to gamble. But this little voice is in there trying to be heard; telling me to go. It is like this addiction has turned me into two people in one body. So crazy…

Today, I choose not to go to the casino.

Thank you ready2change. Hope all is well with you.

Gambling sucks. I know that. I know from experience I will not walk out without losing every penny I have on me. So why do I think I might win? Insanity…

I don’t know how to quit gambling. Maybe an affirmation everyday and keeping my anger fresh will help.

I just had a thought…maybe if rather than thinking of quitting, I will try thinking of it as just not starting.
