No idea why but I am scanning online casinos seeing if I can register on one tonight.  I have blocks in place and can’t register with one, my head says stop but my other head says keep looking you might win tonight.  It’s a tough time, I really would hate to lose money but would love to win.

Don't do it. You're doing well. Participating in gambling is losing. You're already winning by not doing it.

Like you said on my post do something else instead read a book or watch a movie ...search for casinos is just more tempting and u dont wanna relapse trust me !  We all think of if we could just win...it doesnt happen even if u win ..u try to win more and loose it all

@ameliasgran why not switch your bank to one that has gambling usage blocks available, or if it has then activate them. That makes your urge moot.
