So after the last major relapse 4 months ago i had gt a loan and the money had straightened out then things were strained at home and eventually my mrs has left me mainly due to gambling .i thought stay clean .things are not great but im now in good position and money in my pocket again ...until it dawned on me how im alone due to this vile addiction .so surely thats enough reason not to gamble again. Wel its obviously not for me im now back to square one.i realise the trigger to gamble is when bad stuff happens.every single relapse is after something bad in my life.im not even sure how to deal with this anymore

Agree adam the past cannot be changed.only the future i just need to learn to deal with trauma in a different way thats all.i dont think of gambling everyday only wen im bored or have trauma.one thing i know is only i can change things and take control of my life.maybe becoming single as hard as it may be might be the best way to get things right
Day 6 i said i would write something each day but as had no money i have no chance of gambling but i have money now so a possibility to gamble but in my mind i have no chance.got few things to look forward to which help the process.
