Hi all
2 days ago When you absolutely must stop gambling right now, here are 10 steps you can take today. STEP 1: GET RID OF YOUR MONEY If you want to stop gambling right now, the first step begins by stopping to carry money. This includes credit cards, debit.
I thought I would post a story on how I managed to stop gambling, after becoming addicted to it through fixed odds betting terminals (playing roulette)My father was always into horse racing. So I tried it, but when these roulette machines came along, I became addicted
Being addicted means that I was betting for the rush. There is a saying that someone told me, the more you gamble the more you lose. Needless to say I lost thousands
It took over my life.
It became the first thing i thought of when I woke up and the last i thought of when i went to bed.
I could not walk past a bookies, without desperately wanting to go in. Looking back, how could something like this totally control my life.
How did I overcome it. I found a job, where there were no bookies in the local area. I was working in a business park. When I finished work, i had to go straight home. As painful as it was I put a gambling block on my laptop. I took courses in IT and made a determined effort to earn money through work.21 Steps To Stop Gambling free. download full
I also used some nlp stuff, whenever I felt tempted to gamble, which when I was not working was about every 5 mins. Basically, you take that thought of gambling, put it into a fire that you imagine in your mind and burn it. It helped deal with the constant desire to gamble. I think it is called the swish pattern.I felt like a junkie coming off drugs, but eventually after a few months my desire to gamble became less and less.
About a year later I thought I could just look at horse racing. But once you are addicted to something, you are always addicted to it. The old desires came back. So I had to stopped looking at horse racing and guessing on which horse would win.Now as soon as I think about gambling, which is probably about twice a week, I dismiss it from my mind.
How has my life turn out? Well 4 years ago, I decided to only do things where everyone makes money, wanted to increase my income every year and I wanted to help people. Now I am nearly at the top of my profession and have a very good job.
The thing is if I can do it,so can you anyone.
What worked for me was,
