I am a grateful recovering alcoholic managing a gambling issue. Although I try to stay away, playing slot games triggers me. Has anyone else relapsed from casino games?
Hey SingingLion, I get where you’re coming from—it’s super hard trying to avoid those triggers when something so familiar like a casino-themed game can suddenly pull you back in. I haven’t had a relapse with slots myself, but I really appreciate you opening up about it. For me, it’s all about finding healthier substitutes that still let me enjoy a bit of that thrill without the risk. I try to lean into hobbies that keep my mind engaged without that added stress. I know every day is a new battle, and sometimes just knowing someone else gets it is reassuring. Keep taking it one step at a time, and remember that reaching out like this is a win on its own. We’re all rooting for you, buddy!
