Hi Tilney
Consider the relapse as a learning experience and not a failure.
It sounds to me that you may need to look at ways of lcking your funds away.
Mybudget (google) may be able to help. Talking to your bank about setting limits on your withdrawals.
There are several other stratagies for cash control, I am happy to discuss this further if you feel that that might help.
Also I do not consider it to be day zero, you made a decision to quit gambling, a relapse is a speed hump in the road, so really you are still on the same road.
I run a program for people who relise that they are suffering gambling harm and want to do something about it.
I relate the process of giving up gambling to canoeing in a rapid river. Once you realise that you have a problem, you have started paddling, along the way you will tire (relapse) this only drifts you back, not to the start.
Once we realise we have stopped paddling and we are drifting back we need to paddle harder and look at why our arms got so tired and make choices to make changes.
Hope this makes sense to you.
You are heading in the right direction, just keep paddling.
