Turning back before the next bet writes the next chapter.

Block the access, then move

Delete the apps and log out of every account right now. Hand your cards to someone you trust for the night. Then get out of the house — walk, drive to a meeting, sit with a friend. The urge will pass; the choice you make in the next hour will not.

Scripture

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

1 Timothy 6:10
