It works if I keep on top of it. If I keep my available credit to a minimum (cutting up credit cards, canceling cards, putting money into a savings account that doesn't let me access it anywhere but at the bank) and realizing why I seek out gambling as a coping mechanism.

Avoiding places and people relating to gambling is pretty obvious I guess, having said that, these same places and people are things I am attracted to .

I have used Betfilter (www.betfilter.com) and it has helped me a lot. Side effect: The first 10 days after installing I was constantly thinking about returning to the poker tables. But with Betfilter installed it was imposssible.

It did work years ago when I hit rock bottom. I just stopped going, and had to work for years to pay back all the money I lost. Now they've opened a slot casino 25 min from my home; whereas before it was a 2 1/2 hr drive. I was gamble free, except for some scratch offs/lotto tickets, for almost 8yrs! Can't believe I am doing this to myself again.

It works until something comes up and I need some extra cash. I then think I'll gamble to get a few bucks. Then after I lose a little more than I should have I start chasing my losses and really make a big mess!
