Feel like such a fool, I had done near 35 days when I was last on here then just had one bet and crumbled,
I was on such a high before that, feeling good about not gambling then bang hit me straight in the face,
So I'm back for an even bigger challenge this time, 1 day at a time,
IM only a few days into my journey but i think that its so important to read and post onto this just to ensure that you don't become complacent ... I don't think as compulsive gamblers we are able to bet on a casual basis so it has to be all or nothing and the only way to achieve this is self exclusion! Good luck and through support on heree you can do it!
Hi King,
It takes a lot of courage to admit that you have relapsed and to post again. It can feel like a failure, as though you have to start from scratch and that is difficult.
You don't have to start from scratch though! You have already learned a lot about yourself. You have learned that you can make it to over 30 days. You can do that again. And you have learned that one bet doesn't work for you. However tempting it is to believe that it will stay one bet.
You have learned that recovery is a journey. All that you have experienced recently will ultimately help you to stop better than you did before.
I am glad that you have decided to post again. You can do this!
Kind wishes
Gabriele
