Hi steph. The only thing worse than going through what you are going through at this point is to do it with the feeling of failure looming in your head because you started gambling again. I know for myself, anything that I have to deal with during the worst if times has a little less “dark” on it if I’ve been able to abstain. Keep the fact that you are managing to stay gamble free in the back of your mind as a trophy and let it help guide you through the negative feelings that you are experiencing. It’s probably also a good thing that you stay as busy as possible when you are starting to have these feelings so that you won’t. Stay strong.
