Relapsed and feeling so ashamed

Hey there 

I was 6 year clean of gambling and relapsed a few months ago....its a dark lonely place to as you know.

But in my experience I'd say the more you talk about it and don't allow the problem to lurk in the shadows the problem struggles to survive....a hidden problem is a dangerous problem ...so we'll done for opening up, it's not easy 

My relapse trigger was promotion texts coupled with stress and worry understanding your triggers and times u are most vulnerable are key .

I'm on here looking to support and be supported so feel free to reach out anytime.

Hi there. I know it can take countless years of upheaval and heart break before eventually it dawns on us we can stand back and be honest with ourselves and our loved ones

  Keep going live a healthy lifestyle sleep well and help others those are the keys to a new you

Knowing how hard it is why ashamed?, you have`nt gambled for over a month, that is some achievement. You need to climb back on the horse. You admitting you have a problem is so very strong and people relate to that(ok partners take a little longer), you`ve taken the biggest step, lose the guilt and secrets and watch how quickly you progress. Be honest with your partner and you are in a good position to smash this.

Good Luck

Lapses can happen & it's all about how we pick ourselves up afterwards.

Have u got any blocking software & are u attending GA?

I'll try & PM ya.
