Sorry to hear you started to play again after going 5 months without playing, but good to see you back to the forums and looking to get back gamble free.
I had similarly gone 8 months GF up to 4 weeks ago before relapsing and spending a month’s wages before starting my own Journal.
One thing I have found very useful over the 8 months was reducing immediate access to money. After I received my wages, I would transfer the majority of them to someone else. Even though someone else was then controlling the spend, I was still managing my budgeting/finances but any spend I wanted to make had to go through that person who I trust, thus reducing the temptation to gamble.
Unfortunately with my recent relapse, I gambled the money away before transferring it, but at least the damage was limited to one month’s wages compared to in the past when I very likely would have cleaned out my savings and possibly borrowed from others. I also set up automated payments so from now onwards my wages will automatically be transferred as soon as I receive it.
Of course, this approach requires having someone available to you who you trust, knows about your gambling problems, and who is also willing to help manage your funds, and so may not be an option for everyone. If however, you can find someone who fits these criteria, I would really recommend giving it a try.
