Partial solution to a gambling problem!?

[Zooie]

Wow, Night, we have the same life! lol I was SO outgoing, loved to laugh, had lots of friends, but always had the dark side, which was finally successfully treated, but there were those odd times with the drinking, sex, changing jobs, couldn't complete anything etc. that I couldn't explain. It was so "not me!". One guy I was with told me once I woke up in a different world every day. That really hurt. I ran into him years later and he said he thought I was BP! Finally got the dx and there it was. And I agree, it IS separate from "me".

Oh, meant to tell you, I do take a benzo, valium, been on it for many many years, I had to fight for it several times, but can't live without it. I take 5mg a day, and up it on the days filled with anxiety. So here's to Seroquel and valium chaser! lol

Am thinking of you re: soon to be ex hubby. I think you are holding up very well. Have a good day.

<sigh> The gambling demons in my head are calling...I just read up on it, and it can have nothing to do with being BP! Seems as though you can be up, down, sideways, to have that urge to gamble. So guess I'm off topic, and ok with the area being closed down if need be. Only, I really do get manic "before" I'm going to gamble at the casino. Although it seems cyclic, I have the urge to go gamble just about anytime.

It was a Godsend to find free online slot games. But it's just not the same most days. I still am proud to be paying off gambling debts, will have TWO paid off in a year. Major achievement. Two others weren't spent on gambling, just lived off the credit cards so I could go gamble! What a mess. Now I'm doomed to only one or two visits to the casino a year. Talk about withdrawal...

At least I can afford Cash 3, Fantasy 5, and Power Ball, and my other addictions are mostly under control. What a life

Well, I've resigned myself to the fact it's just not going to go away. Here it is June and I still gamble (online). But guess what? It's FREE! And playing for REAL money. I've been having a ball playing them. I'll post the web site. The casinos with the green ball by it's name are good in the USA, the others all other countries around the world. (Warning: if a casino says "SmartDoanload" when you go to download them, your computer will block it. I finally bypassed that and let it download and had no damage, but you may not want to risk it.)

You have to download the site, then register (screen name, password, name, address etc.). Don't like that part but they really don't hound me. Only one does and I just hang up (and it's only a recording). A couple of others send email with bonus offers but I hit delete on them.

When you enter the casino hit "play for real money", then go to "cashier" and click the promotion (free) you want to use. You can only use it once. The maximum I found was $225!! Yup. Real money. The catch though is you have to win a certain amount before they will send you any money. Some slot games win better than others, i.e., the bonus comes up more. There are two "types" of casinos as far as the slot games they offer. Both sets are extremely fun.

One thing to look at though. On the web site before you click on the casino you want to download, look to the right for their promotion free-play promotioon number/name. You'll need this when you go to the cashier after registering, some don't automatically show the free promotions (they really try to get ya!). But also, you can just call their toll free number or chat online to them and they'll enter it for you! Voila. Free money, for real.

AND, when you max out the free for-real money, you can play for free (when you log in, choose Play For Free). The amount is unlimited, some up to $99,999, you just enter the amount you want for that day or week, such as $1,000. It's great fun. My top three are Rockbet Casino, Spin Time Casino and Slots Jackpot Casino.

And no, I'm not manic. I started this a couple of months ago, just thought I'd update this topic. One word of caution. DO NOT EVER use your credit card (minimum deposit of $21 to get $100 or more is VERY tempting, but don't do it!)

Good luck, have fun.
