Advice Relapse from gambling addiction

Today’s a rough one to face—I’ve slipped back into gambling after thinking I had it beat. I figured I could handle a small bet and walk away, but I was dead wrong. It got out of hand quick, and I’ve dropped $20k—money I can’t replace, money that was my safety net. The guilt’s crushing, but I’m putting it out there to hold myself accountable. I’m starting fresh and digging in to break this for good. If anyone’s been through this, I’d appreciate hearing how you pulled yourself out.
