I've started to flirt with gambling again. I had been gamble free for 5 years before I had a moment of weakness - I stopped at a bookies and put a £2 acca on. I know that I didnt care if it won or lost, what I was more concerned about was 'will I get away with it'.
Now, a few months down the line, and its stepped up a couple or notches. By no means anywhere near the level it was all those years ago but I can see the pattern emerging. I'll be there soon.
However, completely out of the blue today I walked past a bloke who I first met at GA 5 years ago. He recognised me. I recognised him. We didnt say a word to each other but it took me back to where I was all those years ago.
I'm confident that I'll be fine but I just needed to come here, remind myself of the past and pick myself back up again. I'll be attending a GA meeting at the next available opportunity
Love to you all

A wise move. Well done for noticing the signs.
Think back to how s**t it was. Don't get sucked in.
well done for being honest, a reminder this is rarely beaten.
get back at it
