Hey Brandon, congratulations on two months gamble free. There could be a lot of reasons you don’t have the itch. Shitty feelings about debt and broken trust can definitely be one. The barriers that you wanted to put in place are working. The effort that it would take to gamble requires being downright sneaky and dishonest so that can be one. I was like that for a very long time. Months and months. But eventually I did get an itch. Certain states or feelings can trigger an urge such as being hungry, angry, lonely or tired. I’m glad it didn’t do that to you this time and instead you voiced it here. A promise is a promise and isn’t it nice to be able to keep them these days. Hope you got some rest. Keep aware. As you say, we need support systems and outlets. Have a good weekend. Laura
