Is that the GH program?
Ok so you gambled. How????
Means and opportunity !!!!
Remove 1 and you can’t gamble.
Barriers are so important, especially at the beginning because the addiction is fighting hard, it doesn’t want you to stop.
I’m not sure how this program works, I’m in Australia, but I’m sure you are not the only one who has done this.
Be accountable, tell someone, we are human after all!
You are not a bad person, you have an addiction, just like me.
It took me 15 years, I lost my home, almost lost my family and my life due to this addiction. I found this forum over 8 years ago, and my track record isn’t perfect, I’ve gambled maybe 5 Times in that 8 years. My barrier is self exclusion, and at the start I gave all control of money to my husband
The barrier ensures I cannot enter a gambling venue ( the times I gambled I let my exclusion lapse, I can only self exclude for 2 years at a time in my state)
The barrier ensures my mind can be clear and I can work on my recovery. What can you do? Do something, because this addiction will not let up, unless you remove the means or opportunity.
Start over, it’s a slip, you are not alone, the fact that you came here and posted speaks volumes.
Look forward to hearing more from you,

Welcome to the forum which I have found so very helpful. Put the lapse behind you. If it’s any consolation on the way home I was really triggered by all the talk of big wins, but I did not gamble. The destruction it caused to me is too close to home still nearly six months on and I simply won’t do it.
