Negative thought
Worried that when life not as easy or going well, how I deal with problems or hardship or disappointments, without resorting to gambling.
Think that may be real test??
Hope I'm strong enough to cope??
Guess that's where blocks and weapons come in, and think about taking 1 of the time, money, location out of equation.
Way I look it your normal everyday person who isn't cg deals with above, I should be able to.
God give me strength.
negative thought
although luckily came to senses before lost vast amount of money , i keep obsessing over losing and getting back , no so much wanting to gamble to get back although have had urges this week.More to earn it back and feel better when back in bank.
crazy wish could control thoughts , as my rational mind knows gambling really isnt about moneyand much more as seen on this forum.
but my irrational bad side still goes off on one with silly thoughts and trying to tempt me to gamble.
it isnt going to happen , i will not gamble
