Hi Sol,
Have you told your wife about these urges? Maybe she could help you to not give in to them by doing something with the money in your bank account. Pull it all out, something .. Does she understand the consequences if you get your hands on it?
Try to remember that sick feeling you experienced the last time you lost it all. Follow the gamble all the way through to the end – not just to the win. Your addiction is really working on you, trying to convince you that you could win enough to pay your bills – it’s classic distorted addictive thinking – and you know that you don’t ever really win anything when you gamble – you just keep digging.
So, like Charles said, put the shovel down Sol – PUT IT DOWN.
There is no quick fix for this – but it is fixable. Focus on what barriers you’re going to put in place so you can begin to do just that!
Keep posting Sol …
Adele
