Dear vidasvidas,
Thank you for your Forum post and well done on picking things back up and starting over. 135 GF days was a great start; I'd encourage you not to think of yourself as having gone all the way back to square one in your recovery, there will be a lot that you have learnt, and resilience built that will be useful tools for you now.
Whether it is hours or days, you're making a positive choice to be GF; you may well be even better prepared this time and aware of what may be your trigger points as you continue on this, at times difficult journey.
I would also suggest if you have not already done so it being a good idea to put some gambling blocks in to place including self-exclusion and restricting access to money to potentially gamble with. Treatment support is also available which can be helpful in addressing the bigger picture of your gambling, so supporting you around any underlying issues that may contribute to or increase your urges to gamble.
If you'd like to talk more or get any further advice or support around your gambling and resources for recovery please give us a call on the helpline on 0808 8020 133 or on our net line (live chat); we are here seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
In the meantime please do keep posting to let us know how you're getting on.
I wish you all the very best.
