I am proud of myself that i am on day 3 as i was on the online multiple times aday i just wamt to get through this rough patchÂ
Thats weird. I've got covid and the last thing I'm thinking about is gambling. I don't even care about gambling right now. Too sick. I end up spending more money on food during covid. Money id struggle to make gambling.Â
I could do with fudge brownies and a cup of tea though about now

I've only been gamble free since March 7. I too had some urges. So I did a little experiment. I "gambled" in my head without spending any actual money. There is a little game in my city called CashPop. You simply pick a number from 1 to 15 and place your bet. At midday the computer randomly generates a number from 1 to 15. if your number matches you win, if not you lose. So you have a 1 in 15 chance. Well I guessed a number each day for the past week but didn't place any money on it, just did it in my head. Well let me tell you, I lost every time! Just reaffirms my decision to this time around stick to my goal of continuing gamble free.
Affected by gambling?
