    Day 2: Today is payday and I paid the bills I have planned for this week quickly. The weather is snowy so I don’t feel like going to the casino. I find that when I put money into my savings account, no matter how good my intentions are, I end up gambling that money away. I tell myself I’m just going to use my free comps and leave but that’s not what happens. A question; how do you hang onto your savings and avoid temptation? My prayer for today is to say ‘may God protect us all today from the compulsion to gamble.’

    • Hi Kay Kay
      Just over a week ago I closed my two online accounts. One said to me sorry to see you leave. And I can come back anytime. I’m not thought. The other when I said I wanted to close my account said no problem. But first I can give you $230 dollars credit see if your luck has changed. I told him please keep your $230 credit S and close my account. He said okay.
      Those coupons free credits are to get you in the door they are banking on you still playing when the funds are spent and of course we will we like to gamble.
      What I have found works best is to not allow my myself too place that first bet because after that I’m in sometimes all in. Shame it can draw a person in like it does.
      I am able to stay away now. I could go back at anytime if I wanted to but it’s hurt my life enough that I don’t want to anymore.
      My hopes for you is you will make a plan for yourself that will work. Hugs

    • So many situations that are just like mine. I wonder if hypnosis would help me

      • Hypnosis that’s a thought. You won’t know unless you try. Shame we have to dig so deep to be able to stop. I guess that’s addiction just gotta keep fighting it.
