Hi GGGG,
Don't berate yourself too much, your counter may have reset but you're NOT back to square one. 69 days is, may I assume, the longest you have probably gone without a bet for many years so it's still a great acheivement. You're right that the outcome of the bet is unimportant BUT at least you haven't done extra damage. If you don't gamble today then that's a new win and a new beginning.
Good luck and look forward, not back.
Phil
so i relapsed like 2 days ago but won an i have had the worst urges ever an the thought of going back on to win more how do i controle these
Well done for coming on here and admitting your relapse. I personally find it really hard, sorry almost impossible to stop after a win. It's only when I loose I see how bad it is. I'm quite confident if I started again, I'd probably win at first but then I'd have the bug and wouldn't be able to stop. I know it's easy to say but you got lucky this time so walk away now and get back on track. Things could easily slip out of control. Wish you the best of luck
hi wishicouldstop i relapsed again looks like am back to my old miserable ways i signed up to a dodgie casino site called pink deposited £10 thinking i could accept that go up to £140 lose that deposit another £10 lose that deposit £30 lost that next i deposited £50 lost that then i deposited £150 lost that then straight to £400 deposited that ended up braking even i have a really bad problem and once i start i can not stop and am really regretting having that bet a few days ago now urges are stronger than ever and am finding it hard to deal with i was shaking playing the roulette calling the dealer all sorts i read reviews on this casino site and its ment to be an absoloute night mare getting paid of them so looks to be a challenge even getting my money back of them i need to get barriers up for a while i think maybe give my laptops an card to someone who doesnt live in my house cause like u said i have the bug again and i no its a matter of time before i lose everything again
