Thought I had it beat - but back again
Hi mimicath,
Welcome to the Forum!
Stopping gambling is a process and it sometimes is very difficult. There are always setbacks along the way. Urges to gamble can be very strong and difficult to manage. Have you put any blockers in your way, strategies which make it more difficult to access gambling opportunities or money to gamble with? It can be really helpful to do so, especially in the beginning.
Well done for joining us and for starting a recovery diary, too. Maybe you would like to give us a call on the Helpline 0808 8020133 or contact the Netline http://www.gamcare.org.uk/support-and-counselling/frontline-services/netline#.VHxF9P5FC6g
Both services are open from 8am to midnight every day and you can talk your feelings through with an advisor directly and get some suggestion on steps which you might find useful at present.
Kind wishes
Gabriele
