Hi Craig!
To echo the comments of i-d-i and Charles, well done on getting this stage. As the orange GA book says, you have admitted you are powerless over gambling. Knowing this, we all need to do what we can to never have that “first bet” again. The blocks are the practical mechanisms by which you can give yourself breathing space and hopefully negate any negative thoughts or actions. They make it difficult, but not impossible, for you to gamble. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. The fine art is ridding yourself of that will.
Personally, I am feeling very positive about my current recovery and at the moment I don’t even have a will to gamble, but I know how that can change over time.
Not meaning to sound negative, because no-one wants to hear about someone who has relapsed, but if you do slip up, the most important thing to do is acknowledge it, learn from it and get back to dealing with the issue as soon as possible.
It sounds like you and taking action to ring-fince your finances, which is great. If you are open and honest you will find a lot of love both inside and outside of this forum and a willingness and desire to help you.
All the best, Tango.
