    Like a true addict I found a way to log on to a website yesterday played with free money then self excluded because I was trying to deposit, good thing my access to money was blocked, I blocked myself before I could deposit now I have no access but the urges are still there.

    • Now I need to get this monkey off my back

    • I know for myself when I think I can’t do something I want to even more. Then I told myself I can gamble but it’s up to me to decide I’m not going too. If that makes any sense.
      So they say urges last approximately 15 minutes then they pass. It probably varies from person to person.
      Stress can add to wanting to play even the stress of loses.
      Right now I’m feeling stressed it’s business related.
      It will pass and I’ll get things figured out.
      Gambling or no gambling there will always be life stressors to a certain degree.
      But I do believe with gambling a person can financially ruin themselves
      It’s not a place I want to be. I’m just a few days short of 4 months straight staying away
      My desire too gamble has lessened a great deal.
