Yes, but it is day one or hour one whatever. The important thing is a desire to stop gambling.

I celebrate ten years today. It can be done. i have two or three practice runs before it took. But once I got to GA and started working a program with my sponsor, I got some traction.

Best wishes.

Hopefully there is a learning opportunity here for you to figure out the weak spot in your relapse prevention plan.
There are many questions to ask yourself in order to make a better plan. What went wrong? What need did you have that your inner gambler thought gambling would soothe? What else have you found that is soothing? What kind of self care do you need to work on? How can you prevent a repeat of the same thing?
You have the tools and the know how, it may take practice.

Thanks. I don't understand this addiction. All I know is I made it through the day. Tomorrow will be better. My mind is still kicking my tail. I think I will work on forgiving myself.

When I was at my lowest point, I banned myself from the casino and that was the best decision I ever made. It took a lot of courage and time of course, but I eventually did it and don't even think about it anymore since it is no longer an option. My family are all gamblers and one by one, they did the same thing. I am happier now. My two older siblings were the worse since they hit jackpots and was trying to chase it, but we all eventually on our road to recovery. Almost 2 months now. GA wasn't for me or for any of my family members, we just talk to each other and took action after that. I did it because I realized it was going to get worse for me if I didn't stop myself now.. I started to not have enough for my electricity bills, car payment, jumping paycheck to paycheck, going negative in my acct, not paying attention to my kids, etc. Act now before you get yourself more in debt.

soooooooooooo many day ones i had, the more days 1's the more i wanted to quit, so thats the bright side, you'll get there

you just have to make a personal/spiritual promise to yourself and honor it.

you can do it - nothings impossible

Sometimes it takes a couple mistakes before it sticks. You learn from each time and it is better to come away from the relapse a loser or it can set you back on your recovery.

disappointed? You came back, I am proud of you. Stay in recovery, each day, will get better. Take today, tackle today.

It is day #1 for me as well. You are not alone. AKF (always keeping fighting). Keep posting and be gentle with yourself.
