No truer words than “easier said than done”. I have always had a food addiction. When my Dad passed, the food didn’t sooth me. Gambling did though. Then I did the self exclusion and turned back to food. Then because my weight was so out of control, I had bariatric surgery. Talk about cold Turkey. So then I couldn’t eat OR gamble so turned to onli…[Read more]

Community 1 years, 2 months ago408 days since the last time I gambled online. I did the self exclusion…it was definitely a cold Turkey way of handling my out of control habit. Gambling in a casino was never a consideration for me. Online however, was just so easy. Lately, I am feeling the pull to actually go into a casino. I have not indulged. I am just not sure where the d…[Read more]

Can you do “self exclusion” on the specific sites that you gamble on? That is the only reason I am not gambling anymore. Gambling on my phone was just too easy. Ugh..

Hi thank you for your reply for the last couple of months I have been able to stay away. If I slip my plan is to self exclude myself. Thank you for your care!

It has been over a year since I quit. It has not…[Read more]

I’m similar when something is really bothering me and there’s been some serious things. I believe I try and numb myself out by gambling . Nothing like me torturing myself when I’m already down.
I hope you decide not too go into the casino I managed too get away from there but it did take self exclusion I Congo back now but haven’t for several years.
Congratulations on your 408 days away!
First of all : CONGRATULATIONS. 408 days. That is absolutely amazing. For what it may be worth, I am incredibly proud of you and I HOPE with all my heart to be saying that same thing 400 days from now. I am on day 8. And you give me hope. And inspiration.
I do believe that we all have this weird Self Destruct button inside of us. It’s a…[Read more]
Wow great work and insight to stay away. From the beast
I am super happy that I am able to give you hope. Hope will keep you going ❤️
It is exactly that for me, a soothing distraction and hoping for a win. as I have triggers and depressed. When triggered there are times I can rationalize and think NO. Other times not.
Still fighting the “Beast” so I am able to “always” realize , gambling is not the answer. Easier said thsn done.
