Distancing Reviews

Show: for
When the urges come no amount of distance works,
ive been staying away for three wks but its hard because im bored and lonely. i cant seem to find anything to replace the time or excitement that would be spent gambling
It was easier to let my money stay inside my wallet when I stopped going to the e-casino for at least 30 days but since I am surrounded by gamblers in the household, temptation really eats me up.
Yes, I moved from Reno 7 years ago. It has helped a lot, but I stil go to local casinos.
I stopped gambling for long periods of time...I am active now, and i seriously want and need to stop...to many blessings in my life I am so grateful for
worked for extended periods
It just doesn't work. I know I need the support of people who understand how devastating this addiction can be
I live within 20 minutes of 4 or 5 casinos, and I just have to alter my daily habits and routes
it has been 11 1/2 years of hell.
Staying away helped some time ago but I ended up going back which resulted in consequences for me.
