Hi 3raser
Try and not see Day one as a day that sucks but more a day that heralds a new beginning with greater understanding.
If it was easy to control an addiction to gamble, this site would not exist and if there was a ‘cure’ you would have heard it all over the media. However with no ‘cure’ in sight the only way forward is ‘one day at a time’.
You actually could not afford to lose £50 because the act of gambling and not the money was the stimulus your brain needed to get into action again.
Keep posting and next time you feel a trigger use this thread and your experience to do something different. 5p or £5000 it makes no difference – it is gambling and not money that will always cause you to lose something more precious than money – ‘you’.
Look after ‘you’ and there will not be a need for another Day 1.
