Hi everyone I have not been on here in a while because I have been doing actually pretty well I self banned myself from all the casinos that were convenient enough to go to so that had really helped and then all the sudden a new casino in ohio opened up in may that was pretty close so I have been going there a few times a week and losing until last night I self banned out of all the ohio casinos and I feel so much better right now although I cant get the thought out of my head about how dumb I have been for the past two months all of the dates in my status are the days that I self banned myself from different casinos now the closest casino to me is at least a two hour drive and I know i wont be making that trip, I hope that anyone who has a problem gambling like myself will definitely consider self banning because for the most part is has worked for me good luck to everyone on here and have a gamble free day

" if you do self ban please make sure you cover every casino with-in atleast 2 hours travel time .i missed a club about an hour away when i banned myself so i would travel there to get my fix.but the next time i banned myself i made sure i covered all of them and it does really help.in australia you can only ban yourself for a maximum of 2 years i suppose it's just in case you want to go back to gambling your life away.

" I think self ban is a great idea, I live in Montana where there are casinos on every corner-but when I called the Montana problem gambling line there is nothing set up to self ban in Montana. "
