I want to talk to you about dealing with the gambling urge. Everyone that has a problem with gambling has this urge they feel that seems to take over them. It is really almost an unconscious thing that people seem to be stuck with and that is inherently the problem. I know a lot of people that gave up on gambling cold turkey, which I saw repeatedly fail. The reason it fails is that gambling isn't really the problem. It is that urge to gamble that is the problem. That is what needs to be dealt with to solve this problem. I'm going to talk to you about dealing with the gambling urge.
I know people like to trivialize their problem as an addiction and that is as simple as that. That's the wrong way to look at this. We always do things for some sort of psychological pay off. There's always an incentive to doing something and that is why you need to identify what it is. There are people out there that gamble for the rush of winning. They could drop $500 in a night, but still feel the rush because they won $100. Other people do it to have another problem to worry about.
Dealing with the gambling urge is exactly that, dealing with it. You can't ignore it any longer. If you're looking for some sort of high in your life, you have to look somewhere else to it. You might want to join an organized sport or something that will give you that feeling. If you do it because you're avoiding a failing marriage, than you should try to fix your marriage, instead of wasting your money gambling.
