hi astrofly,
I was in your position and still, I am but now I am in much better shape financially.
what I learned is don’t try to rush the recovery do it slowly but steady. every time I thought about how to expedite the financial recovery it leads me back to gambling, “for a man with a hammer everything looks like a nail”.
at this stage focus on yourself and how to improve your self and as you recover a new Opportunities will come. and you will grow financially.
don’t think that gambling is a solution no it is not and every member here in this forum knows that, you can find some deluded peoples in the real world thinks they can win money gambling; they can’t. it is a losing game.
also keeping access to the account will increase your temptation to gamble ask one of your family members to take control temporarily.
if you don’t have anyone who you can give the control to, then reduce the cash part; bay valued things like gold or properties, car ….etc it is difficult for you to liquidate these items fast so you will have plenty of time you to stop before losing that money if you relapsed. note this is not recommended in the early stage of recovery better is to give control to someone else.
hope you all the best
