    It has nothing to do with sense. It is a powerful addiction. I made the decision a month ago to never go to a casino ago. I haven’t been back but man oh man the demons are trying really hard to take control. I stopped buying lottery tickets about 2 weeks ago. They are calling for me…..but not as load as the casino. I am finding help logging on to this site and connecting with other people who have this horrible addiction…..

    • Frog I feel the same right now and like yourself I have made up my mind. I’m not going back to gambling the urges will pass. We’re more than a push of a button or scratching a card. We are so much more!

      • You are so right….the urges will pass and I/we need to remeber that and try to divert those thoughts

        • Much love

          • I feel you guys. I stopped going in person but during covid opened an online account that I’ve given sooo much money to its nuts. It’s been really hard seeing how much I’ve spent this last year, money I could have invested etc. I’ve learned to set myself up by deciding what I’m going to do the moment I get an urge – ie walk, call a friend, cuddle my pet, get some sun etc. We’re in this together!
