Hi Izzy,

If that casino is lame then there is certainly no reason to not get banned from it. After all read your own previous threads – you like me have had “no plans to compulsively gamble” many times in the past.

Good moves on not carrying cash etc but remember moving forward it’s not the “CG places” that are the problem, it’s the person who compulsively gambles. That means you and me.

So use the opportunity, now while you are not planning to gamble and not in a place where you currently feel tempted, to work on recovery. Address anything that needs addressing, find other interests etc etc

Barriers and the physical inability to gamble are important of course, particularly in the early days. Their main benefit though is that they give us breathing space to work on things, put things in place so that we are less likely to either find a way around those barriers or gamble when circumstances change and you aren’t in such an isolated position.

It’s addressing those thigns that will make you less likely to gamble and an improved person. By doing that you will be in a better place for those future relationships you mentioned.

Keep posting.
