I feel like betting

Postby housealwayswins » Wed Nov 01, 2017 6:47 am

Because I've been bored lately. But then I think, if I bet, it's going to lead to unrest, irritability, depression, anger, anxiety, a change in my personalality, time and money lost as we'll as energy and, myself.

It's better to be bored than gamble. Boredom means spare time which is what most people want. I will use this time to relax and do the things I love. Even just rest.

I won't be fooled. I won't give in. I, and you, will always face these tests and resist temptation and the devil.

I am strong. I will become Great.

Well said , House .

Boredom was one of my biggest triggers . I had to learn how to deal with it and find healthier ways to spend my time . Boredom is gonna happen . It's a fact of life .

At any rate , being bored is way better than the "excitement" of losing all my money in a casino . :roll:

Boredom can be difficult, but better bored than broke for sure. I also recall my last days and nights gambling had been boring. As I remember I almost prayed for the money to run out so that I could stop the madness. The whole process had become vacuous and pointless it was just an addiction that needed feeding, how more boring can you get than that?
I wish everyone on here the gift of finding enhancing and fulfilling activities to keep the boredom at bay

Yes! At least with boredom it means we have more times for OURSELVES.

The Devil will try to find any broken crack, any loophole... But we have the knowledge to know exactly what it will try to do and how it will attempt to attack us.

100%

Boredom really used to give me the urge to go gamble - but when I gamble and lose, how i wish I could have gone back to just being bored without all the sickening emotions I encountered.
