Hi IDI, well done on coming here and being honest.
So, you will get to the 15th and the pain will fade? Yep, that’s what happens. So what things can you put in place before the 15th? What things can you start working on? What barriers can you put in place? What extra support can you start using now, before you get paid again, before the pain fades? So that you are less able and less likely to gamble when they do.
Read back on the positive posts you were making before you gambled – it is worth making those changes.
