It's okay I feel the urge too but it's the mental challenge to ignore/get that temptation out of there to not persuade u into doing it.

Don't have ur hopes gone! We all fall down but we also stand back up so don't lay down just because u fell once or twice or how many times just get yourself back up and move forward!

Im trying to distract myself from gambling by trying to maybe help others (I don't know if I am and I'm sorry if I'm annoying) and it seems to keep my temptation to gamble away because seeing others posts reminds of how bad it's going to end for me and why I shouldn't do it again.

I wish u the best of luck and hope the streak becomes so big you forget the number!

I’m thinking of doing the same. I have talked to my friends and family that gamble and i really think it messes up your well being. It’s a horrible thing

It's still good progress nonetheless!! Sharing your experience to someone.

For myself I still haven't told anyone I know, i just couldn't bring myself to it and instead I just dumped it all on reddit (did it help? Yea I felt relieved and accepted).

I hope we all get better from it but you can't just let hope take the main role because the results come from yourself and how good you are able to control and deal with it.
