    Congratulations Christina! I self excluded for lifetime on Jan 16, 2022. In Florida, the Hardrock is the casino, at least in Tampa. I have struggled with recovery since March 2018 with many relapses. This was the step I was avoiding. I feel lifted and relieved now. In my mind, it is no longer a local option which was my biggest struggle. I only wish I would have done it sooner.

      When you cash the casino chips over $1000 they will check your ID then you lost all that money!

    Why should the casino know what to do with self excluders. Most people just leave lol

    • @thebetfreelife
      @thebetfreelife  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, but we aren’t most people. We don’t have the capacity to leave, if we did, we wouldn’t be in this situation

      @@thebetfreelife if you can't leave then maybe you shouldn't go. Not the casinos job to babysit adults and tell them what to do with their time and money

      Yeah, we don’t go, we’re in recovery.

    What do you think of the TH-cam channels glamourize gambling with LARGE bets and Large returns - channels are growing watching people gamble - your thoughts on this?

      I don’t know about the TH-cam channels but their are so many casino apps nowadays and commercials and advertisements for gambling it’s insane. It’s the devil. It’s everywhere you go you can’t escape it

      We were hoping to address this on an episode, but since we haven’t- I think it sucks because those videos are so popular, but that stuff exists and we in recovery have to be good at ignoring the loud noises. It’s no louder than gambling ads that are everywhere. Great topic of conversation! Thanks
