I was doing so good going along the last few months, but yesterday I got the 'Itch'. I had some pocket money saved in my wallet and decided to do a little small gambling. Before I knew it i had lost $120.. Due to my financial controls (my wife has all access to bank accounts, credit and debit cards, house and car), i had to stop , not because of will power, but simply due to the fact that I had absolutely no money left to continue gambling. My advice to everyone: if you're in recovery, by all means stay in recovery, don't let your guard down, be always vigilant against the dangers of trying to beat the 'gambling machine.' Starting over, Day One. sigh
Very correct to ask what my trigger was. that is so important. For me it was boredom, i was just looking for some excitement it wasn't about the money
