    A normal day for a normal person can turn into a slippery situation for a recovering obsessive compulsive gambler.
    Having free time allow me to gamble. If I am ban from gambling premises here, I can travel. If I do not have cash, I can borrow. Gambling premises are conveniently found everywhere here, if I have free time and payday arrive, how many times have gambling thought turn into gambling action.
    It is harder to reverse the whole process when the chemical reaction has began.
    Off day and payday will arrive without fail. There are many more important things in my life than gambling. I need to focus on those area and set up gambling barriers before I made thing and life difficult for myself.

    I almost drink or gamble tonight but why didn’t I? An alcoholic cannot drink like a normal person & gambling addict cannot gamble like a normal person. When all else fail, follow good orderly direction and do the next right thing. I handed over the money for the monthly living expenses to the family. I do not have any surplus money to drink or gamble now unless I borrow or the next payday has arrive.

    Hi readyforchange,
    When I was happy, I drink. When I was sad, I also drink. The same applies to gambling. Give me too much money, I gamble. Give me not enough money, I also gamble. Staying abstinence is easier said than doing but it is worth it. Everyone can stop, that is the easy part, the real challenge is in staying stop! I wish you success in staying stop. I will be cheering for you.
