Was doing so well and relapsed badly which I’m struggling to get out of. Why have I let this happen? I really hate what gambling does to me…
just feeling sorry for myself but i know what I need to do.Â
You’re not alone same thing has happened to me in last few days. You can beat this .. don’t let the last few days spoil it for you … tomorrow is another beginningÂ
@poblwc thank-you.Â
My husband was so supportive when I first told him, but now I’ve let him down by relapsing and he doesn’t know!Â

I know how you feel it is so difficult. My husband has control now of the finances. I hava a Monzo card with a limit on which has helped me control this cruel disease. I did gamble a few days ago however i have a limit so not too bad. I feel silly now . I am with Gamstop. However with Monzo online chat support they have blocked payments to this provider for future payments. It is best to tell your husband. I know he may be disappointed but you will have to get rid of temptation and let him control the finances if possible and you can open an account in a few months perhaps and take control of a small budget. Hope this helps xx all the best
You can't give up. you have to keep trying. Everyone can make mistakes. Keep trying, you can overcome thisÂ
Hi
In the past I have gone back to gambling so many times.
For me gambling was a form of escape when I could not cope with people life and situations.
It is important to not give up on your self.
I am a non religious person who felt so low about my self.
Now I understand that I was very vulnerable emotionlly.
I knew I needed to do more for my self, more time in meetings.
Some times 2 - 3 meetings per week.
I was so much a loner.
Now I am more connectd with my self and other people.
Please stick with your recovery you are worth it.
The recovery program is a healing program.
Love and peace to everyone
