I am new here. I have been reading previous posts. They are helpful. There are casinos within half an hour drive to my home. I am spending too much time and money there, lately. I read somewhere here that is takes 66 days for a new habit. … Here is what is odd. I am scared of Covid. Several people I know have gotten sick, my boss died of Covid last summer. When Covid closed the Casinos, I was happy. And then, when they opened again, I went, but very limited. Then when cases got bad again, I could stop going. It was great. I thought I had this gambling licked. But now, case counts are down and I feel safe in the Casinos again. I wish my willpower was strong, without a Covid fear. I don’t want to make this into a vax/no vax post. But I am starting to feel like if I feel safe at the Casino, I could feel safe at a GA meeting, which is about an hour away. I fret about wasting the gas to get there, but I just lost way more than gas money at the casino. I am nervous about going to a GA meeting. I was going to go, pre-Covid, but chickened out. I wish there was a phone number of someone there I could connnect with first.
I wanted to let you know you can do GA Meetings online now. If you visit their website you can find virtual meetings in your area. I’m still doing mine that way even though I am vax and boosted. I feel more comfortable. You also may want to find a gambling recovery coach or addiction specialist to work with too. And if you have a local church that offers a “Celebrate Recovery” group and meetings is another great way to stay bet free.

I appreciate that. I found that our state is not listed as having virtual meetings. I wondered if it is OK to do a virtual meeting for a different state.
What country and/or state are you located in?
Over two dozen states are not on the virtual meetings list, on the GA website. Overall, I think GA needs more representation in less populated states, whether virtual or in-person
