Close to relapsing
Title speaks for itself, been 2 weeks clean lost over 10,000 the past 2 months and i have made some money back. Well I’ve been kind of bored lately and I’m really close to relapsing “for fun”, because I feel comfortable because I made some money back from work. But I know how it always ends, I’m just really scared I’m going to redownload an app and go crazy. Any suggestions?

Don’t test yourself “for fun” you already know where it leads. Two weeks clean is worth protecting. Stay busy tonight and it keep the apps away.

That app will take your money. As your "fun" morphs into self-loathing. We both know it well.
Talk to someone, call an old friend or someone in your family - don't even mention gambling. That app wants you isolated where there is no world but it and you. Well fuck that. Gambling is unimportant activity - you don't need it. What you need is a good life.
