How to Gamble Without Addiction
November 3rd, 2009 / Posted by Suicidalsam in Gambling Addiction, General Gambling is big business, earning the gaming industry billions of dollars each year. In fact, Americans spend more money on legal gambling than they do on movie tickets, recorded music, theme parks, spectator sports and video games combined. A recent program on the Discovery Channel stated that gambling is so attractive, that when the lottery is high, ninety percent of eligible adults buy a ticket! Most people who gamble enjoy gambling as a game; its exciting and fun. And most are able to gamble without risking a gambling addiction. Just as many people can have a glass or two of wine with dinner without becoming an alcoholic, so can they buy a lottery ticket in California, visit a racetrack in Kentucky or even spend their vacation in Panama casinos without serious long-term issues. Anyone who has visited a casino knows how easy it is to feed money into the machines. Still, the occasional visit to a casino does not indicate a problem and many people are able to gamble without addiction as long as they gamble responsibly and keep several important things in mind. Set a realistic budget and stick to it Leave all your credit cards at home except one for an emergencyand losing all your cash because you fed it into the slot machine is not an emergency! This card is in case your car breaks down or you get stranded, not to get an extra $500 for the tables. Also, take only the amount of cash that you can afford to lose. Avoid temptation by not bring any cash that has already been set aside for necessities, like groceries or rent; if its in your pocket, you might be tempted to risk it. Limit or avoid alcoholIts best not to drink while you are gambling as this is a good way to lose more money than you can afford to lose. Alcohol can dull the senses and cause you to make choices that you might not otherwise make so this policy will keep you from making a stupid choice, such as taking $500 out from your credit card, for example. Set a time limit for gambling Wear a watch. The whole idea in a casino is to cause you to lose track of time and spend more money. All the flashing lights and bells from the slot machines as well as the artificial lighting are meant to give you a false sense of reality. If you wear a watch, you can tell how long it takes you to lose a certain amount of money and, if you lose what you can afford to lose in the first hour, its probably time to go home before you lose any more. People who gamble responsibly do so for entertainment and they are able to accept losses as the cost of that entertainment. They are able to balance their gambling with other activities and they do not gamble alone. If you remember these tips, you will be able to enjoy, rather than fear, your gambling experience.

Reflection for the Day
April 1If we don’t want to slip
we’ll avoid slippery places. For the gambler that means shunning poker parties and race tracks and anywhere that gambling is taking place. For me
certain emotional situations can also be slippery places; so can indulgence in old ideas
such as a well-nourished resentment that is allowed to build to explosive proportions.Do I carry the principles of the Gamblers Anonymous Program with me wherever I go?TODAY I PRAYMay I learn not to test myself too harshly by “asking for it
” by stopping in at the casino
the Bingo hall
or the track. Such “testing” can be dangerous
especially if I am egged on
not only by a craving for the old object of my addictions
but by others still caught in addiction whose moral responsibility has been reduced tozero.TODAY I WILL RE…

Who is This Person
If you ain’t just a little scared when you enter a casino
you are either very rich or you haven’t studied the games enough. VP Pappy Who is This Person It is not unusual for the spouse of a compulsive gambler to wake up one day with his or her whole world turned upside down. When the spouse or family becomes aware of the gambler’s addiction
he may be so far in debt that the spouse cannot even comprehend the extent of the debt. It may take months for the spouse to unravel the web of debt. Often even the gambler does not know how much money he has lost or to whom he owes money. How a spouse does not realize the extent of the problem is a curiosity
however for most spouses
they are truly blind sided by the extent of the damage that the gambler has done. Many spouses know th…
