Firstly, well done deadboy16 for coming here. the first step is asking for help and by posing here you have done that. I am new here and have read countless stories and many of them have a lot in comment.
I like the road idea from the message above. We lean through addressing the problems, having a relapse and getting better. It’s about seeing warning signs and moving on, whether it is relapse or a triumphant moment where you resisted the urge.
I myself just relapsed after 66 days. Thought I had beaten it but it helped me understand a lot. It’s a problem for life. Whether we leave it for 20 years and have a bet in the future, it can come back.
Take every day one at a time. Be positive. Do your utmost to gamble. I’m more resilient than ever after my relapse, I’m keeping a journal as it will help me converse and chart my progress. It helps. Seek help, I saw a therapist. Was amazing and did help although not to the point of ultimate control.
Take care and keep posting!
