Monday…well i went and gambled…..lost …but i left my card home so the damage was small….uhg

two things I learned this time
1. I feel bad about myself after, just for going to the casino
2. I will never win…… because i keep playing even when i am up and should walk away

I can’t gamble like a normal person and I have to face that fact

I felt really good last weekend because i did NOT gamble

Thank You G Rec,

Friday….so the weekend starts tomorrow…..my difficult time… I am going to fight through the urges…I just can’t waste anymore money.

I have planned a few things to get done but will still have some down time…I just have to take one day at a time, I can beat this!!

Tuesday, continued

i am home from work due to cold weather….this would “normally” be a casino day….i am not going to the casino today, I think mainly because I told my mother about my problem 2 days ago…and I don’t want to let her down….

The urge to gamble is strong today, because i have the day off from work…

Hi Lewis…

You are not alone!!! I am a gambling addict and it is like I get hijacked and have no control of myself…I am having a hard time as well….

I told a family member 2 days ago (my mother) even though I have been struggling for months…it has helped me!!!

Maybe you have a family member or friend that you can talk to about your gambling??

Tuesday,,,
the last 2 Saturdays I lost 2 months pay gambling…. this fact alone should be enough to stop anyone from gambling again!!! but it is not enough!!!

Accountability and keeping busy with other interests (reading, spending time with my kids, my antique toy collecting, helping others) and staying strong, these will help me stay gamble free!!!!

[wally2021]

Good morning G Rec
Congratulations on 8 days!!!

again…good information for me to read!!! “go-to-activities” very important for me!!!

[wally2021]

Hi G Rec,

Thanks for sharing your lists, very good for me to read!!! I hope you stay strong and gamble free today!!!

[wally2021]

Thank you G Rec…
I had a great time with my granddaughter!!

Unfortunately, I did gamble….this is an awful addiction….NO MORE!! i don’t even have fun gambling ….I felt strong and then all of a sudden I went and gambled, like I said before…its like I get hijacked….this has got to stop…

I did tell someone, finally…my Mother, I talked to her yesterday, I felt better after I talked to her….I am hoping that having accountability will help me stop gambling…I have to stop, I don’t even want to gamble.

I have to fill my weekend time with hobbies or something else to look forward to.

I think I will talk to my Daughter about it this week, she is like my best friend.She is so smart, I am so proud of her…I hate to bother her with this and I am ashamed, but I know she will help me with encouragement and I will spend more time with them on the weekends….
