Hi Rayman,
So, the good news is you know you can stop – you did it before you can do it again.
What can you do differently this time?
It is up to you whether you tell your friends that you have a problem – it is however very important that you tell them that you have decided to stop gambling, otherwise there will be no reason that they won’t invite you again at some point in the future.
You only intended to play with that 20? Then it sounds like you had access to far more than that. Why carry that much money? Or access to that much money?
From what you wrote on the Lottery Thread I started it sounded like you didn’t think thigns like that were a problem – you will give yourself greater chance of success by avoiding all forms of gambling. Don’t feed the addiction, let it starve.
You are “hoping” you don’t gambel when you get paid? What thigns can you put in place before payday?
