Topic: My urge to go to land base casino in this lock down and how I fight it. (Read 537 times)

Do you guys really have a lockdow meaning that you can't go wherever you like? I understand that some places like casinos might be closed now but it's not a lockdown. If you want to play poker with friends you still can, just not in a casino. You have to meet up at home.
 
I don't have any problems with gambling or doing any other things that I normally do. The only difference is that instead of eating in a restaurant I order food or go to a restaurant and take food home. If you really want to do something you still can.

I don't know if you felt this feeling in this lock down. But for me it is real and I have to fight it back.

Do you guys have the same experience? How did you overcome it? Share your experience so that other gamblers will know how to respond.

Of course there are a lot of crypto based online game, yes I play online as well, but the land base casino is very different at least in my case.

He knows it, he also included on his post that he plays online as well, however, since playing online is really different from playing in the real casinos, having this feeling is not avoidable if you play often in a certain physical casino.

I also have this feeling sometimes, especially if I have nothing to do. I have the feeling of going to a gambling house, but unfortunately, none of them are open yet.

Why don't you go playing online gambling? There are several trusted sites for gambling. There are also online casinos. Well, probably this has been your habit and it is addictive, so I cannot also say this so easy for yours. Just do some more interesting activities with your beloved family inside your house or even in your backyard or front-yard cheerfully.

Each country has its own specifics in gambling. Somewhere people love and bet on horse racing. Where are common the cock and dog fights and so on. However, globalization is spreading across the planet with the development of the Internet. And if you have access to the Internet, then you can play in online casinos and suffer from gambling addiction.

I looked at YouTube recordings of cockfights and I thought it was very cruel. What do they do with the birds that lose?

But yesterday was a different feeling though, their was like a feeling that I need to go to casino and play. Maybe it was just the effect of the boredom during this lock down.

Anyways, here is what I did to fight this inner demon within me.

Yesterday, for unknown reason, suddenly I feel the urge to gamble again. When the lock down was implemented here, land based casinos are close. I'm more of a physical casino player, however, I was not affected by the closure because I thought that this will just last for a week or two.

But yesterday was a different feeling though, their was like a feeling that I need to go to casino and play. Maybe it was just the effect of the boredom during this lock down. There are some mental stimulus, like my sister-in-law inadvertently says that he doesn't have any identification with her but his casino ids. LOL. Anyways, here is what I did to fight this inner demon within me.

1. Do some exercise, good thing about this lock down is that me and my kid age, 14 are doing some calisthenics and body weight exercises. So we did some reps and sets to keep my mind busy.

2. Netflix is your friend during this lock down.  . Watch movies that interest me.

3. I visualize myself totally stopping my gambling even after the lockdown. Yes, this is very tough on me, but I spend hours in my room doing some sort of mental visualization.

4. Talk to families, anything under the sun, bond with them, it is very relaxing.

I think it would be amazing to see those people bet online but I don't think they would reach that point. I think the next generation would be in that situation but the generation right now is still at that traditional betting. I don't think people would immediately understand what I am saying since most of the people here are living in places where they can't really see people without phones. I am living where you don't see tall buildings and just see the mountains surrounding our place. I am just educated earlier to technologies, saying that I don't think that these people would actually be learning online gambling unless the next generation steps in. They are aware of the internet but still submerged to social media and games like Mobile Legends, PUBG and Call of Duty and yes, they are still young but now learning to raise their own rooster and going with their fathers and these people betting on cockfighting. That is how popular this gambling is here in our province and here in our country.

The very best option for those heavy gamer spending time with their love ones, keeping them busy will allow the urge being replaced by another activities. Gamblers especially those who are fully engaged most of the time feels the lonesome. Even there's online casinos who can fill the needs or gambling its still different when you are playing in an actual offshore house, to change that for good doing other activities will help.

I have not experienced an urge that I really need to fight against during this lock down period. Even before the lock down, I am not a regular land base casino gambler. I go there very seldom. Lucky for me. Online gambling is increasing on my part though. But no worries. I always limit my gambling time and money.

Some land base casino patrons must be fighting a real battle these days. They need to keep themselves busy with other fun activities like family bonding.

Each country has its own specifics in gambling. Somewhere people love and bet on horse racing. Where are common the cock and dog fights and so on. However, globalization is spreading across the planet with the development of the Internet. And if you have access to the Internet, then you can play in online casinos and suffer from gambling addiction.

I'm just patiently waiting for the findings of statistics on gambling addict when this lockdown period is over. The numbers will just be out of this world considering we'll be having fresh new addict in addition to addicts that thought they have won the battle against gambling until the lockdown made them vulnerable again.

The method I rely on to tackle the urge to gamble isn't that different from that of the OP with addiction to few other precautions measure to tackle online casinos. The issue right now isn't about the physical casinos as the lockdown can help prevent our patronizing them but it don't have any effect on online casinos instead it encourage it the more.

Here in our country, people do not know online casinos. Most of the people here are not really going to casinos nor do poker and stuff like that but they usually bet on cockfighting.

Most of them are not aware of online sites and not following the policies of ECQ as they continue to gamble with their friends and other people from other barangays.

They would stop for a week, a maximum of two weeks, and then they will break it again. I could say this since I can't really go with them with my work but they have it harder than me to stop gambling.
