After 124 days of not gambling I relapsed. Not 100% sure why, but I think worrying about money.. and it’s been a tough 7 weeks.. what I find most horrible is thinking you can’t tell anyone about it when really it’s the only option.. all came out on Sunday so now I’ m back to day 2 but am extremely lucky to have a very strong support group of family and friends around me which I need to keep hold of.. honesty is absolutely key going forward now.. if your struggling and in a dark place, just take a deep breath and tell someone.. you can’t carry the burden of lying. It’s to much!! Good luck and keep the faith..Â

Hardest thing is telling people when you relapse, I have told em as soon as possible to stop financial ruin. Best thing I ever did was say as soon as possible.
Good on you for coming back and facing the truth.
