Dwelling on “slips” will drive us nuts, Mike.
Writing them off , on the other hand tends to allow us to minimize their seriousness.
I often do that . “Well, it was only a couple of hundred” or whatever.
I now try to tell myself “Gambling is gambling and every time I partake, it leads me into deeper debt, weakens my resolve and makes it easier to justify losses”!
Very well done on your 9 clean days.
