      Distancing Too Soon to Tell
      The longest I abstained was four months. And that was due to the birth of my daughter last year. I thought I had a handle on it by then but felt into that awful cycle. I have won $ but found myself wanting to go back and try again. I usually end up losing more $$ than I started with.
      Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Somewhat Helpful
      I started this a couple of weeks ago. I have to keep at it everyday otherwise I will forget to do it. I can do it up to 2 hours with the amount of pain and anxiety that I feel due to my gambling.
