I can tell by your post that you are very disappointed that you had to reset your “days not gambled” counter. It is a bummer no question about it. I have had periods of up to 13 months, and then I let myself get complacent. An urge would strike out of nowhere, after going such a long time with no urges at all. The “what could it hurt?” self talk, and all the rest of the BS that my gambling brain uses. I even dare myself sometimes. My gambling brain uses all kinds of manipulation to get me back to the table.

All I can say is bravo for coming back, trying again, keeping at it. Try and call someone if you get that feeling again, let them talk you out of it. I feel your pain, brother. Take care and don’t beat yourself up.
