Hi fam I’m starting clean again after 14 days bet free I would get a week free of gambling that go back and I’m ready to surrender fully one day at a time one moment at a time. I’m not going to beat myself up - discussing family discord was the real trigger but I told myself I was bored and just wanted to win money for my family I’m going to commit to bettering myself and being a better partner and mom…

Hi Sue
Well done at coming on here and sharing. The way I look at relapses is that you are driving along the road and see a pot hole but you think it will be ok. You drive over and puncture your tyre. So get out and change the wheel. You then continue on and don't go over any more or holes. You don't go back to the start. That said I love the lack of blame in your post and determination to dust yourself off and move on.Â
The question that everyone asks, have you got all the blocks in place and do you have any accountability system ? Hope you don't mind me asking.
Cold turkey is tough but the above helps along with other things.Â
Have you been to the chatrooms on here especially the 8pm one ?
I relapsed again online last week after a year block but second it was over I started gambling again but now I got 5 year plus block on gamstop and it be the best thing I have done at the end of it yes it hard but it will get easier with the forum and the block from gamstop so if u don't have that in place I would recommend it 1million precent even if it just for 6 months good luck we all believe in u and will kill this demon together
