Toey,
Yes, I think that is considered a relapse. Wouldn't you be better served by taking that money and buying something that you've wanted for yourself, or your family? How about taking your significant other out, or a good friend out to a nice dinner. You could easily fall back into the pattern like before. I wouldn't risk it...what if you decided not to leave? You've done the hard work after 365 days, don't throw that away and tempt yourself.

I think that it would be a relapse.......and the worst thing that could happen is that you could win..............and, that my friend, would be the beginning of the addiction all over again. It's the thrill of the win that is alluring.........and if you lose.......what in the heck did you gain.......nothing but a hole in your pocket. I hope you will reconsider.
You should be so very proud of yourself for accomplishing this many days, but in no way should it serve as a reward system to place just one bet.

screamer - you're right. I don't have a significant other, but I too agree that the money could be better well spent on something else. Thanks.

Suehoo - thanks, you're right. If I lose, then I've lost my money. If I win, I think there'd be a serious chance of me playing another round. And another round. And another round. And it all starts again.

eastwester - thanks, I never thought of it like that. I'll keep that analogy in mind.

Well folks, as you can see, the devil still talks to me. After tonight's sleep, it'll be 365 days. I'll make a new thread tomorrow.

Thanks for the slap in the face, I needed it!

Oh yea!!!! one bet will set you back off if you gamble like i do. Please reconsider.

Toey....Good for you. I bet you feel alot better knowing that the hard work that you have done has not gone to waste. You can awake to the 365th day knowing that you have a new year ahead of you just waiting to be explored and enjoyed. Congratulations!
