Very helpful information!!
I am doing it one day at a time!!
How I did it: Hi Im Jason and I'm a recovered compulsive gambler.
Here's how I beat my gambling addiction.
1. I realized I had a serious problem that I couldn't stop on
my own......(so I went and got help)
2. I accepted the FACT that my gambling addiction was a
permanent problem I had to both overcome and
manage. (with help from other people)
3. Anytime my gambling addiction tried to convince me
that I was okay, or that my problem wasn't
permanent, I turned up the heat on my addiction. I
reached out for MORE help, I read more literature,
got more one on one help, and re-applied what I'd
learned.
4. I refreshed my memory of the new principles I was
living by. I did this by committing just one hour per
week. And I committed to reading just 5-10 minutes
nearly everyday.
5. I made a commitment. I committed to my goal of
overcoming my gambling addiction no matter what.
6. I had an open mind. If I questioned some technique
or suggestion made, I stopped. I embraced the help
and advice of those who beat their gambling
addiction.
7. I learned how to overcome my gambling urges and
eliminate them.
8. I learned how to overcome and silence my thoughts
to gamble.
9. I did all of the above, and took life
ONE DAY AT A TIME.
Now I help others stop their gambling addiction.

I am doing it one day at a time!!
That’s so true! Taking each day one step at a time! I am a casino dealer and I should know better that gambling is a serious problem! It is more expensive than a drug habit my friends tell me but I am not into drugs! Lol! I stopped gambling since 07/31/2011. Reason is because I know I can’t stop myself whether im winning or losing. I just turn myself into something I wasn’t proud of. Also because I would lose the most important person in my life. That I know I can never get back! I am proud to say my life is back on track and I owe no debt to anyone! I have plenty of free time and plan on actually spending my money from now on! Just remember! Winning is only temporary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was reading this and your list reminded me of this.
