Today I self-excluded at a metro area casino and I have the paperwork to mail off to self-exclude at most other Oklahoma casinos. This is an important step if you are serious about quitting. Good luck everyone!

For years I had planned to do this. Printed out paperwork but before I could mail it off I manage to “talk” myself out of it. I think it is a wise move. I will be doing that soon as I get money for the notarization. It’s so pathetic. I gamble thousands of dollars and now I don’t even have $15.
I can’t set foot in there. I noticed that I was going to get my freeplay and leaving credit cards at home. Then one day I bring the plastic by “accident” and blow $2000 over $20 freeplay. Crazy. Self excluding is leaving the credit cards at home and also.. not going in at all, ever. By law:)
By law ? Does that mean you’ll get arrested if you go and get caught? I like the idea. I for sure will be very afraid to risk it
I would be escorted off of the property. If they didn’t catch me playing and I won over $1200 it would be forfeited. I wouldn’t get it. Heck no I won’t go in there! I know that this was a good decision for my gambling sobriety. I have 2 more casinos where I have to self-exclude. I know that I need to not gamble with the temptation very close to my house but making it a bit more of an effort (next nearest casino is 45 minutes away) to gamble will make it to where I have an hour drive to think about what I’m doing and if I think about that hour drive.. I’ve given myself every chance to succeed in NOT GAMBLING. I’ve learned a lot from the people on here but I’m very interested in the isolating behavior that most of us do. It really compounds the problem!
