Nice to see you still about bear. Keep going is all I'll say.You were on a roll early in the year. Don't forget all that time you spent gamble free. You can do this.

I admire your honesty, Bear. Beating this can be a pain in the backside and we're our own worst enemies at times. I struggled myself, but comparing my gambling to others, and there's stark contrast in how much I gambled, how long I was hooked, and how often I played. In some respects, I was a relatively low level problem gambler, but know of the bother it all causes. Coming up for 6 months now free of it. Very relieved, but also know I caught my problem early and put it to bed.
Truth be told, we're all different, but those who fight this problem head on as you've been doing with eventually come out on top. Not to be rude, but you have just got to stop kidding yourself. There is no gain with gambling just pain, pain and more pain.
Again, remember your successes. All those days you spent bet free.. how it felt to not even give gambling a thought. I've read through your diary and remember words to that affect- that you didn't give the idea of gambling a thought. What changed?
Wish you the best
You deserve to do well.
