There are no words to express how awful we feel when we slip up, or how devastated and sick inside we feel and lost and guilty and on and on.. One week ago, I too felt crazy- sick- horrible!! I had went over 2 months with no gambling and thought I was totally done, thought I had no urges- no need for any of it! It took me those 2 full months to even begin to get back on track from the destruction of the gambling binges right before that! So, to be back on track somewhat and then after 2 months or really over 2 months, to go and destroy everything I worked so hard for, finances, emotions, urges all that was shocking! I couldn’t believe myself, still can’t really! But after 1 week that lump in the throat that wants to spill over and make us sick starts to just barely go away a little and so please please hang in there. During this past week I had urges so strong to go WIN my money back, to make up for the huge mistake I did last weekend, but I somehow didn’t go and now the urges are a little lighter and I know over time will go down less and less! But I have to keep my guard up, you do, we all on here do- even months, years after we quit! We just can’t be social and casual gamblers, we know no control! All the best, please know you are special and important and take it ODAAT..
