It is what we do …

As compulsive gamblers we are always looking for excuses and opportunities to bet. It is what we do, so there is no point in beating yourself up about it.

The important thing is that you have recognised that you have slipped and you will now put things in place to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. It is also good that you have come back – not to confess, but to let us know that you still need support.

Treat your addiction like an allergy. If you were addicted to seafood – it may not hurt much to eat one or two prawns – but if you know that you would then be tempted to eat more – which would threaten your life – then even one is not a good idea.

That’s the issue – one small occasional bet won’t harm you – but it is the further things that it could (and probably would)that will.

Tighten your resolve and ensure that you get past 6 days next time – if not 60 or 600!
