Hey Jonny, funny co incidence. I posted my last response before you posted about changing the subject and somehow I think it may have still made a little sense!
In my case one of my barriers that keeps me under control is I live in a small place where I easily run into family and friends at gambling establishments. The fear of someone telling my husband and possibly breaking up my marriage was a big barrier. I think I got lazy about recovery. It wasn’t that I was cured, I knew I wasn’t. But regular life takes back over. I stopped going to GA meetings, the long drive bothered my back a lot. I didn’t replace it. I didn’t feel CG enough to fit in here. Sounds a bit stupid but it was like it just wasn’t a part of my life anymore. We do rely on places like this more in the beginning. But then we do move on. Some of my old self crept back in. Some old the unhappiness returned. I’m back working on things, and trying to take some of my own advice! In my case I don’t have tons of extra money so I just try and keep what I do have tied up. I talk a lot about our money to my husband so he has an idea of what we should have so he’ll notice if i’m going astray. I should just tell him again but frankly am being a big chicken. So I don’t think my barriers will work so much in your case, but try and keep recovery in mind and work on it always. You know more about manipulating finances so only you would know if would be able to tie your money up in accounts or investments that you cant just pull out of the atm. Most times if you have the opportunity to think you won’t do it.
Have a great day Jonny
and P.S. Monica thanks for your vote of confidence, not sure I deserve all that but thanks!
