Today is my first proper test and I’m here on this forum rather than maybe trying to bypass Gamstop (don’t know if that’s possible and I don’t want to know). After my self exclusion, bits and pieces of money has been coming into my account from all the different sites. I logged into my account today and saw £117. Immediately, my first thought was I can increase this money easily by playing my nemesis blackjack. I have kept myself busy and avoided getting sucked back in. I’m now all alone in bed and I’m writing on this forum rather than try find a website that’ll let me play. This is day 4 of my recovery.
Get rid of the money temptation will always be their
@absentee I did pass yes. I transferred the money to our groceries account SIF h is joint with my husband. I have gamstop in place anyway so don’t think I would have been able to even if I tried.
Hi
There will be many tests as you get more in to your recovery.
After some time in your recovery there will be a growth in your trust in your self.
The more you exchange unhealthy habits in to healthy habits the faster you will grow in your recovery.
Your honesty reduces your fears.
Thank you for being honest.
