Hi, Was just coming up to my 7th day without gambling and was feeling great. For some reason I decided to have a small go. A £50 deposit. This is very small compared to what I’m used to doing. It was gone in a matter of seconds. Luckily deposit limits were set so I cannot go on it again. Just feel so stupid and angry at myself. Why did I do it? I was doing so well 7th day. Now I am right back in the same place I was a week ago.
It's a tough one, because if you get the urge you always find a way of justifying it in your head. It's good you are annoyed at yourself, it proves you have the desire, the will inside, it proves you care, and have other things important in life to not gamble further. Don't be too too hard on yourself, you've already done that be positive and set new targets - I'm going to post now on targets I'm setting. What I need to learn myself is to use money when I have it saved instead of pricing everything. All the best.
