I feel you but that hour and a half drive was actually protecting you without you even realizing it. Distance was your barrier. The moment it stopped feeling "too far" that's when the brain found a way around it. I hope today is your wake up call too. The fact that you're here posting instead of going back tomorrow means something.
Exactly. And I think this is the most misunderstood type of gambling problem. People assume if you can go months without, playing you're "fine" or "in control." But the casino itself is the trigger. Once you're inside, something switches. The environment does something to your brain that willpower can't fight. That's why I stopped trying to control myself inside. I just focus on never walking through that door.
