"Trying to avoid the casino don't want to ruin 4 mths"

I feel really refreshed this morning. The best wakeup I think since I quit smoking. In the back of my mind I do think about the gambling urge that will come back once I go a week. I told Hubby I wanted to do a Ban and he made it clear he disagrees and does not want to go wit me. I don't know if he is ashamed or just doesn't care. He is not want to be ashamed so I am thinking the other ofcourse. I did do my part, he clearly knows now that I am telling him I have a problem but this is about me and what I need to do.  I know that and I am going to march in there and place a ban on my going there. I am very scared to do it because I will have a large sum of Money in my hand today when I go there. But it is time to step up to the plate. It is money I can't afford to lose. I don't want to go to my credit cards that I worked so hard to pay off. hmmmm, I should leave them home when I go. I do feel refreshed today and I am going to run with that. I hope I can buy some good merch today and handle confrontation . My best friend who I taught my entire business , has stabbed me in the back and now is my compettition, She now knows all my strategies and stomps in the very places I showed her so it is very very awkward and I been trying to avoid it but you know I have been there first and I can't not walk away, this is what I love to do and what I am made of. To her it was all about the Money, Money, Money. I am not going to walk away. I am running with my day. A new , responsible, caring , confident, independant woman. It is going to be a great day and There will be no cigarettes and no slots. AMEN.

    Why are you walking into the casino with money in your pocket?.....perhaps you oughta leave the cash at home with the credit cards.....why set yourself up like that?.......and you're right, it's your responsibility, not your husband's, to get the gambling demons under control.......it would be nice to have his support, but in the end it's you that gotta do the work......... good move to self-exclude from the casinos.

    I agree with eastwester, do not take any money or cards with you. That would almost be like putting a cigarette in your mouth and asking you to not smoke. You have worked hard to quit smoking but that would be a temptation just like walking in a casino with alot of money so just leave your money at home while you go to self ban. Could a trusted friend go with you?
