I have not gambled in 3 days and it's not going well im so angry frustrated and hate my partner for thinking this was a good idea!
I am climbing the walls and can't deal with this anymore! I want to gamble so bad! People don't understand how awful an addiction this is, I see no light no happiness and nothing. He says i should throw myself into college but I can't focus on work when all i can think of is the jackpot going without me being there... The site I am on offers, Free bingo bonus money which is my absolute kryptonite every time i log in I have free bingo bonus money sitting there for being loyal to the website. My account has been temporarily suspended because I got angry and filed a paypal dispute against them.. I guess that is a good thing, but the worst thing is Gala are holding the strings and can make or break them with just one person behind a computer deciding what's best for me! The frustration is killing me.
Sorry for any triggers, I just have all these feelings to get off my chest, Also I am using K9 and i hate it.. day 3 and it's so hard!

Keep it going Kim at all costs. The urges will definately subside. There really isn't any such thing as FREE MONEY in gambling site terms. No business would give away free money. This particular industry preys on people who think they are on to a good thing, but ultimately the facilitators win the 'free' money back and so much more. Really glad you term it as Kryptonite - a bad thing for Superman, a bad thing for Kim! Stay strong!!
PS - your Partner is right! You might hate them now, but hopefully you will see that they are doing the right thing for you long term
