Any good advice here will save me lots of $$$ on a good Psychiatrist......

My dilemma is basically as follows:
I gamble higher than my bankroll allows when I really love a game. And when things don't go according to plan, I drink so heavily that I am either going to run somone over, get a DUI, or have some horrible legal problem because of these bouts with alcohol. The most recent episode was last Sunday night when I had a large wager on Baltimore plus 7. My team outplayed St. Louis so badly that when I lost I felt cursed. I went directly into the bottle, and didn't come out until the pain of the loss was anesthetized. My question is basically directed at anyone who has had my problem with gambling losses that turn into binge drinking,and found a way to stop this foolish behavior. I know that the first step is betting amounts that don't set me off, but i am sure there is more to the equation. Any comments would be appreciated.

If you gamble online, then on your PC, goto the command prompt and type: format c:/
Then terminate your internet connection service immediately.
If you wager with your local guy, call this guy named panther in NC, get his 5 unit plays and fade every single one of them.

Schill- For the time being, drink to your hearts content. But for Godsakes stay off the road and dont endanger other living creatures.

My advice to someone with your issues is basically twofold--First of all, bet less. When I make smaller bets I never get pissed no matter how bad i get f...ed. Secondly, if you are hitting the bottle after every tough beat you should think about the AA program. Your behavior is indicative of someone who relies on alcohol to lessen a painful situation, and that is one of the first signs of an alcoholic. Alcohol should only be used in moderation and in times when you control the situation. if you are celebrating a wedding and you want to get drunk, that is one thing. However, if every time you have a bad day gambling, you are knee deep in the bottle, you need to seek professional help.

GA or AA are the best IMO. Lose the pride and take the plunge. And for God's sake do as Fish said and please stay off the roads when you are illuminated.

To bet Shrink's plays can be hazardous to your health!!!

You guys are brutal...LOL

My advice to you would be to give up gambling and alcohol...

You obviously have lost control over BOTH and unless a drastic change occurs, you may very well lose your health, endure legal, financial, and family problems...

Worse yet, you may eventually kill someone else or yourself!

Get some help bro' before it is too late!
