I can't seem to help myself.
As soon as my pay packet hits my hand I'm running it straight through the machine leaving my partner to carry the load of all the bills.
I somehow convince myself each time I get paid that I can make back all my losses and make it up to her.
Loser!
Hi - believe me I did this month after month year after year and you know what! The machine wins every every time, maybe not today but tomorrow, the day after it wins! We cannot win! This illness will take everything, and trying to get my mind to say not gambling is “winning” - if you never gamble again you will win and you will more than pay back to your partner. Barriers are needed, no cash, no cards, exclude from bookies etc - these are what counts especially on pay day! Think n plan. Keep trying! Take care
