Avoiding and staying away is working, but I will be facing some challenges this summer when I travel to Aruba. I am confident that I can rise above those challenges if I stay focused on my recovery, and I have a plan before I go. It will be crucial that I stick to that plan.

I have ben gambling for years. It has not been a pleasant experience. The longest I quit for before is 4 months 4 days. Normally I only abstain for a few days, maybe up to 2 or 3 weeks. This is my second longest attempt-I have been gamble free for 3 monts and 1 day and I feel support from other recovering gamblers would make a big difference, that maybe I won't "fall off the wagon" again.

If you can't be there you can't do it. No online gambling available where I live luckily but one too many casinos.

Working well, so far. The support really helps.

i couldn't pass the darn place or avoid passing it until i hit rock bottom, now i hardly drive by it and when i do, i don't think of it usually and when i do, i feel good for driving by.

Banned myself from all poker clubs and betting venues in my city, removed anyone from my life or contacts who had anything to do with gambling.

Sometimes works, it's still a struggle, I still fall.

It worked before but I am starting over. I think reading and sharing thoughts here will help me ten fold:)

Just began my road to removing this habit.
