The barriers are working extremely well so far, despite me having an urge to gamble I am stopped, when I see the "network error" I stop for a moment and I say to myself why do I want to continue to lose money when I know the same will happen over and over again which is in the end of the session no matter how long the session I will lose money. I am at the office now and don't feel the urge to play, here we are 8 persons in the same office and I used to gamble yet I felt a bad aura and I blamed my colleagues for my loss, typically compulsive gambler behavior which I have in plan to remove it from my behavior. I will keep posting regularly in this thread but things are looking very good so far. People say find a new hobby but my hobbies are extreme, now I want to buy an additional house to give in Airbnb and make money out of it.
When you say that you played in the office, do you mean that you played during working hours? It seems to me that there should be some special place for gambling, maybe somewhere at home, but definitely not at work. But if you decide to quit gambling, then this may be the right decision, especially if you constantly lose. Renting out real estate is more like a business than a hobby, but if you like it and it will bring in profit, then it will definitely be better than losing money on gambling.
