hi Risingphoenix,
sorry to hear that, but you should be proud of yourself, you have done 500+ days free of gambling, the reality is a gambling addiction is like driving a bicycle once you learn it you will never forget it.
this thought used to depress me but now I reached peace with this fact and I am managing my life based on that.
you have done 500+ days before just do what you have done before to reach this number and you will be ok. don’t let this slip pulls you down to a new rock bottom.
the risk of relapse in the first 3 months will be high so take more than the normal measures during this period,
3 years ago I reached 6 months free of gambling and then I eased my guards then I slipped once and it lead me to two years of hell ( 20+ relapses in two years and a new records breaking rock-bottom)
be very careful at this stage. it is just a small relapse regardless of whether it is 6 months of saving or if it is just 100$, the main thing is don’t let this relapse leads you to a series of relapse.
500+ days are still 500+ days you have achieved it and you should be very proud of yourself.
wish you all the best my friend.
