Day 425. Staying gamble free. One day at a time!
Don, what I am about to say is going to be hard to read. But I will say it as I do care about you and I want to see you get well and recover your life.
You are still at Step 1 of the 12 Step. You need to accept that you are powerless over this addiction. Unless you accept this defeat, recovery won’t begin. You have to give up the thought that you can get good at gambling. There is no such thing for us compulsive gamblers. There is only luck and chance and the gambler’s fallacy. You have to give up this thought.
