I could remember few months ago,when I had a little health challenge, while I was on my sick bed,the thought of gambling came into my mind and I remembered the fun that I do derive anytime am gambling, immediately I felt like gambling but i was not myself and couldn't do anything at that moment.
I find what you say strange. You didn't have your cell phone handy? Nowadays you can gamble 24/7 from your cell phone.
Can anyone tell me as a gambler what can deprive you from gambling when you feel like gambling.
The main one would be not having money to bet with, but otherwise, there are few barriers to gambling today. The problem is usually the opposite, that those who have problems and want to quit have too easy access.
