Hi you said you were stressed. A trigger maybe? Start again, it's great you came here and wrote it down. Get the blocks in place and shut the door you left open.

Day 0

In less than 48 hours I managed to deposit £325 and run up the credit card again too. Obviously disappointed however something I’m learning to do is forgive myself. If we don’t forgive we can’t move on feeling proud to come on here less than 48 hours later and out a stop to it. Looking back one blip in over 5 months I will take that.

Thanks for the positive post the worst thing that can happen is come on here to know it all posts when you already know what you have done. So thank you. Back on it.
