Re: My tale of stupidity and shame
Hi @Jamus, firstly I'd like to say hello and secondly well done for going the 188 days gamble free. Most of us have slipped up on our way to quitting. I lasted 6 months GF on my first attempt, then continued gambling again for 2 or 3 years....Doh..
Just remember how crap it makes you feel and aim not to do it to yourself again. You have shown that you have great willpower, treat it as a lesson in letting your guard down and re-arm yourself with your tools of distraction
Cheers, Lee
