Hi Mav, Well done on getting back here and posting. First the good news – you KNOW you can stop. You know because you have done it before and you know what works for you. Now get back to doing it – posting here, GA meetings, barriers, back to basics.
If you were out drinking heavily and still had access to funds with which to gamble then it sounds like you were well away from those basics.
There is a secret to not having to keep coming back to support – the secret is not to leave it in the first place. If we could stop on our own then none of us would be here. From what I see here and at GA I see no reason to think I couls stay stopped on my own either.
Keep posting.
