    I’ll start with saying easier said than done , less talk more action .. because no matter what I say it’s ultimately down to us to own the temptation , I personally don’t believe that keeping yourself busy when having the urge to gamble because sometimes you may have no intention of gambling and the next thing you know your doing it winning or losing … What has worked for me is being completely aware completely awake no matter whats going on in my life depressed gambling isn’t an option , covid at home with all this free time so what gambling isn’t an option, if you feel what I’ve felt after all the highs and lows remember that feeling when you’re so disgusted with yourself remember that guilt when you think what you could have done with that money you lost , take a good hard look at the finance’s you have and be proud and happy with what you have . And like any drug the comedown is revolting so much so that alone should be enough to say no more , YOU come first and a big up yours to gambling

    • This is helpful. But getting to the point where you are somehow ok with the money being gone is a difficult road. I have been on the lose win roller coaster during this pandemic. I feel completely unbalanced.
