Take a step to accept those thoughts and let them sink in and realize that they are just thoughts. Then plan what you will do the next time gambling thoughts try to hijack your thought train.

Stephan, yes you can stop. There is someone in the chatroom more often than here. There is help for you. We can help point the way. Once you make a step to stop, you can find the resources and knowledge you need. There are activities and practices you can use to beat this.

What’s the best thing to see on this board? For me to see people commenting for the first time and having someone tell them they can turn their thoughts to something very good.

To everyone on there, that is exactly true. One year ago, I was lying on my back having run out every credit card, even a storefront lender, behind on mortgage and more, way overextended on my home while my wife and I are getting old.
