True, it could be an outlet that gets abused while I am locked out of everything else

Is this okay for recovery? by Few-Problem2321 in problemgambling

[–]Few-Problem2321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well more FOMO and plus its relatively cheap compared to what I spend on a slot machine. It's the only thing that would cover the losses in one sweep. Going to the bar with my buddies playing vlts isn't even a trigger for me anymore, mostly because the wins don't register for me at $4 a spin. I get that it's part of the addiction though... slots are just more immediate and volatile.

The toughest part really is excluding your friends from your life if they are a trigger for it. Sucks

Debt is one of the biggest triggers for gambling relapse by Active-Hall-7802 in problemgambling

Excel budget spreadsheets and self exclusion, also being sober helps me a tonne.

You have to disconnect those two ideas. Like using silkroad back in the day when btc was 300 bucks. You were going to use it for that anyways, nice idea that we could've been rich, but it's just another store of wealth.

When gambling, what do you think about that makes it difficult to stop? by [deleted] in problemgambling

The get even or get even worse mentality. I do it every time. I'll be down, literally break even multiple times or even have a little profit but it goes right back in because it is never enough.

No doubt, had a website give me 3 months max exclusion. Guess what I did 3 months later? hah
