Does anyone know an effective way to prevent me from accessing certain gambling websites from my computer? I am on a Mac.

I know how to edit my hosts file to block certain IP's, but unfortunately, it is very easy for me to delete these restrictions. I wonder if anyone has any experience with any products or services that could help.

I've found that when I'm sad, lonely or bored I get the urge to play cards again, so that's why I've found it to work well to replace my addiction with something else.

There's a computer game called Starcraft 2 and it pretty much follows the same principles of addiction as casino ...

I am currently reading the Blog of YouNeverKnow, and I want to share that it has helped me understand what I am up against. I am almost through all of the posts, and the writing is so detailed and clear that it reads like an excellent road map of how to get from point A (addiction) to point B (a free, happy, and meaningful life).

Reading each post I find myself getting ideas on how ...
