Hey Guest,
I think your answer is very much in your post but you cannot see this. If you dont have access to cash then you cannot gamble!! If your meeting finished early and you only had a tenner in your pocket to get home, then you may well have been pleasedto go home early.
The point to this is we can say "oh i am better off I didnt gamble for 30days in a row" but the slips are always bigger as you have benerated more cash.
Dont beat yourself up over the slips as this breeds guilt and whats gone is well and truly gone, if you need exitement in boredom then get yourself into a new hobby!!
the "just for today" rule works but you must couple it with understanding yourself and in that understanding except given favourable conditions, ie boredom, cash card etc in wallet you will probably escape...
realise it, face it and change it.
Take Care
