    Does anyone have any tips to completely shut out gambling when it’s all on my mind? (I literally cannot sleep without having the urge to gamble 😭)

    • Self Exclusion has helped me. I was an online gambler. My state has a database for people who would like to be self excluded from all online gaming sites. If I do try to log on a message pops up that says I am not eligible to log on until Feb 13 of 2028. While I still think about gambling and miss playing my favorite game it is helpful to know that logging on isn’t even an option.

      Added to what Serenity posted you perhaps need to find something to do that replaces the gambling… not easy… but you need your mind to go to another level… Serenity started painting… I paint also. Not everyone would choose that but perhaps woodworking, or puzzles or sports of some sort… Right now this obsession is controlling you…you need to fight it… Finding someone you trust to help support you would also help… in any case take care… Lindy
