    so stopping gambling has consumed my mind the last 2 days..I went to bed thinking about how this is a real problem and woke up thinking this is a real problem and I am a bit scared…..

    today i will stop the ability to make cash withdrawals and cash advances on my debit card

    it is Monday..off to work

    Thank you darkenergy!!!

    I have always had cash on hand…my entire life….I am not ready to give that up….I am thinking I should contact my debit card bank and put a stop on cash withdrawals and cash advance…I have no credit cards…ok so i will call the bank tomorrow and stop the withdrawal and advance capability…this should keep my relapse exposure to $300.

    I am at the very beginning! I think I can do this without drastic measures…I don’t want to involve my adult children…they know I gamble, but don’t know that it has turned into a problem

    so for now..this is my plan to limit my relapse exposure to $300…I guess??? uhg

    So…I didn’t go to the casino yesterday (Saturday) because i was reading here and considering the status of my problem…still feeling mad at myself from Friday’s casino trip….

    Today Sunday…I didn’t go to the casino…I fixed my mother’s sink drain, which I have put off for a year or so….so thats good!!

    The problem will start about Tuesday….by then it will be ok to take $300 and go to the casino on Saturday after working all week….go and have some fun and I am due to win (this is what I say to myself)…and its nice to have something to look forward to!!!

    lets see if I can get through one weekend staying away from the casino!!!???
