Hey all,
I’m so angry with myself, and still don’t know why I did it, but I’ve relapsed. Went back on FB, and the curiosity got the better of me.
I really felt in control before, had no thoughts or urges over gambling, so I really don’t know what happened? I’ve been on it over the last 2 weeks but it definitely wasn’t anything like it was before. I guess I still had some control as I was able to stop, as in not gamble all day and night like I use to.
In 2 days time I should be celebrating 100 days GF, instead I’m now back to day 1.
I know I cannot beat myself up and relapses are all part of the process, but I feel so low and depressed over it.
Here’s to day 1 again ???

I have been there done that, but that was in the past. Now I have full blocks/controls in place and have access to only very small amounts of money. By not having money to gamble with I can stay out of harm's way. If I had access to my paycheck money, I would be in trouble. You can recover from this lapse in judgment. Don't worry, things will work out I am sure.
Worst thing you can do is beat yourself up.
Praise yourself for doing so well.
Learn from it, put everything in place when you draw your conclusions.
Get back on the horse and keep going.
You can still do it as much now as you could before.
What can you change this time to help yourself? If you don’t do anything different you’ll end up in the same position eventually so make a change that will help you stay stopped.
Chris.
