It is great that you can go for a month gambling free! I cant even get through a week at this point. You are right when you say that the covid virus has made things worse. I’m sure that the online slot sites have never been busier. I play online, which makes it hard to avoid, and if you know your triggers, pay extra attention to them when you have been gambling free for a while. The addict brain always tries to convince itself that it can indulge “just a little” because you have been in control for so long. The gambling has rewired your brain and it will take time to get it back to where it wont crave it. Just know that it is a craving, like cigarettes or drugs, and it is going to lead back to where you were before. Easy to say, oh so hard to do. Just keep fighting – that is what you are doing. Fight it. I hope you have another long stretch gambling free
