I’m glad my thread helped you through those 14 days, 3raser. The whole purpose of this Site is to lend support to each other. When I read or hear of peoples’ relapse, it helps me to remember the “bad times”. I’m only a “rooky” when it comes to recovery. There are members here who have lots of years under their belt but will I let you in on a little secret? Its not the time away from the last bet that counts, its the methods we use to protect ourselves from making the next bet that make the difference.
TODAY is all that counts.
2016 has been a G free year for me but I’m here in GT since 2008. Ducking and diving . IF I had taken the advice I was given initially, I would be debt free now. I am a lot older than you. I had to retire on ill health grounds. Gambling played a big part in that. I will be paying off debt forever. I have had many near misses so I just try to take each day as it comes, saying,
“Just for today, I will not gamble”.
It IS possible to stop gambling.
