Heard an excellent thing on the radio last night. Not only related to gambling but about changing your life. "Don't try to think yourself into a new way of living but live yourself into a new way of thinking." I think it is crucial for many of us to develop new habits to replace the destructive ones. Don't just keep repeating "I must not gamble" or "I can't win because I can't stop" but do something else as well. Don't be anywhere near a bookies or a gambling website. Self exclude/block etc but also put other things in your life. In some cases this might be concentrating on what you have been neglecting like family or work or maybe a new activity.
Don't just try to "think" yourself into being a non gambler but actively "live" yourself into being something else. DB
