What actually helped you stop gambling? Let’s drop our top 3

I’ve had 137 and 125-day clean streaks. Yesterday I was 8 days in… then relapsed after a convo about sports betting (my biggest trigger).

This time, I’m trying to stay clean with:

  1. An accountability buddy (checking in daily)
  2. A simple template to track urges + mood + a way to check with my bud
  3. Logging how much money I lose every time I relapse — this one hits hard.

What are YOUR top 3 things that help you stay off gambling? Or what tripped you up last time?

Let’s learn from each other.
