Hi Simon and welcome back.
I’m glad you have been reading the success stories here – what things are working for others that you can apply to your own situation? How about a blocker for your PC? How about being accountable for your money? I’m sure your wife would be delighted to help with that.
It’s good that you plan to stay close to support for the next few weeks, let us know the positive actioans you are taking to make your next bet less likely.
That brings me to a couple of lines I want to quote back to you…..
“…….and thought I could control myself…….”
“….I’m going to be back and forth to the the forums for the next few weeks as I need a lot of support at the moment…..”
It’s the time AFTER the next couple weeks that is important – don’t take your “eye off recovery” again. We all need support to stop gambling. It’s important to remember that we also need support to maintain recovery, as you have found.
Keep posting.
