Hey LT,
Sorry to hear of your slip.
There is a saying that willpower alone cannot stop us from gambling. Even if not near to a "meeting" many people log on to the live chat room and chat how they are feeling...sole purpose "not to gamble"
If you were bored at home last night it would have been much cheaper to log on line, chat to others, share those urges and not act upon them.
I had a dream last night I wish to share with you and this is real not just because I read your story. I was asleep last night and went into this dream where Christmas was coming and I had money to buy all my gifts...I went out and watched as the money was pilled into a one arm bandit.
I woke up just as my mind was running where do I borrow some cash to buy gifts, what excuse do I make??
Fortunaltely that was just a dream and yes it was a reminder of how I spent every christmas before I said "enough is enough"
Urges...we all have...we get bored. But I hate gambling....I hate what it has deprived me of....I hate what I could have been away from the desease.
I dont want to be that person who arrives with no gifts for parents and family...I want to be normal. Normal comes from following a path, a path of admission that I simply cannot act upon any urge.
Dont be defeated!!! draw some strength again....
