That’s the first thing you must realize, Kolberg. Nothing good will come from beating yourself up, so let us try and look at some positive things:
1. You admitted to yourself and this forum that you had a relapse. I know some people wouldn’t have the courage to do so, so well done to you.
2. A relapse can always teach you something new, or at the very least remind you of something crucial that you had forgotten. So try to dig inside and find whatever wisdom you can extract from this. And then use it to set up further barriers.
3. You have put limits to your casino accounts. The positive way is to say that at least you had put limits on them – although I would suggest completely excluding yourself. Maybe this relapse is for you to realize that you need to exclude yourself, rather than put limits. And maybe the fact that you “only” put limits rather than exclusion from casinos is a sign that you are not ready yet to give this addiction up COMPLETELY. I hope you get what I mean.
I wish you the best of luck on your “journey” with the new job and city!
