Hi Christer1, I admire your determination to quit. When you relapse you come back determined to quit.
I don't have the knowledge to offer advise but would just say that no matter how many times you come back on here just make sure you make some change in your recovery.
If you keep doing the same things over and over don't be surprised if nothing changes.
What ever piece of advise you have been given but are yet to try give it a go. Whether it's counselling, GA meetings, chopping up your cards, running a marathon - whatever it is give it a go to break the cycle.
Cheers and good luck.
I personally admire the honesty - despite the person's horrible feelings - of someone who admits they have gambled again. A lot of people don't.
As ITM says above what strategies have helped in the past and what do you think will help again in the short, medium and long-term?
Best wishes, Phil.
Thankyou for your advice yes that's true luckily I have lots of blocks still in place but after reading alot of the diaries here makes me determined to keep trying
Day 4 Its such a difference how at work and at home you feel knowing u havint lost any money. I had thoughts of doing but I thought sod it no I'm not going to
I am happy today as I have finally self excluded the last bookie in this area on the multi self excluding after spending a lot of money again so now there is no way of gambling
Chritser you can do it and I will keep coming on too to update you x
Day 2 I am really confident this time as I know blocks are in place dropped my children of swimming and I have time to sleep I know before I would be checking what bets I could put on but I have not checked as I can't. My regret is I still can't risk telling my partner as she has been through alot and know it would break her. I've read so many stories on here we're in this case honesty is not always best
