Gambling losses not only hit the wallet, but also undermine self-confidence. Restoring trust in yourself is the key to further self-discipline and protection from new risks. Below is a detailed algorithm without further ado.

1. Accepting and being honest with yourself

1. Realize the fact of losses

Write down the exact amount, date and circumstances of the loss.
Assess the consequences: financial, emotional, social.

2. Stop self-blaming

"I'm a fool" and "I'm without sili" deprive motivation.
Replace with "I made a mistake" and "I need to fix the situation."

3. Give yourself time to reassess

Allocate 24-48 hours without any gambling activities.
At this time, do "basic" things: sleep, food, walks.

2. Deep introspection

1. Identify three triggers

What motivated you to play? (stress, boredom, desire to recoup)
When was desire stronger than common sense?

2. Analyze solutions

Where did the emotional reaction work?
What mental attitudes ("now I will return everything") failed?

3. Record the findings

```
Trigger 1: stress at work
Trigger 2: 'Easy money' reports
Mistake: Didn't stop after three losses
```

3. Develop a recovery plan

1. Specific objectives

Internal KPI - trust: return 10% of the lost amount weekly.
External KPI - budget: do not go beyond 5% of monthly income for leisure.

2. Steps and deadlines

Step	Deadline	Result
Make a new budget	3 days	Table of expenses and income
Block access	1 day	Bank stop limit
Find support	7 days	Talk to a psychologist or JV
Daily report	1 week	Completed mood diary

3. Small victories

If you stay without breakdowns for 3 days, mark the achievement (walk, book).
For 7 days without gambling costs - encourage yourself without spending money.

4. Keeping a Personal Trust Diary

1. Form of records

```
Date: 2025-08-06
Mood: Calm (7/10)
Action: Didn't play, made budget plan
Conclusion: emotion control improved
```

2. Key headings

Emotions before and after controlling the desire to play.
Specific actions and their results.
Next day settings.

3. Weekly analysis

Sum it up: Rising/falling feelings of confidence.
Adjust the plan: more time for hobbies, new barriers.

5. Forming new habits

1. Alternative activities

Exercise (30 min/day).
Brief meditations or breathing practices 4-7-8.

2. Social engagement

Meetings with friends without discussing rates.
Joint hobbies (sports, art, games without money).

3. Technical barriers

Blocking gambling sites (StayFocusd, LeechBlock).
Stop limits in payment systems, auto payments to a savings account.

6. Working with support and feedback

1. External control

Agree with a friend or partner to keep a joint report.
Daily message: "I did not play, the plan is completed."

2. Professional assistance

Once every two weeks - consultation with a psychologist or coach.
Gamblers Anonymous group meetings - at least once a month.

3. Feedback to yourself

Note progress not only in recordings, but also in sensations.
Set reminders: "What good have I done today to restore trust?"

7. Progress measurement and long-term planning

1. Check at 1, 3 and 6 months

Confidence level (score on a scale of 1-10).
Compliance with financial and behavioral rules.

2. Strategy adjustment

If trust grows slowly, strengthen barriers or add rewards.
If there are relapses - go back to the step of introspection and finding triggers.

3. Setting new goals

Focus on personal growth: courses, hobbies, new skills.
The long-term goal is to strengthen financial stability and internal support.

Result

Restoring self-confidence after losses is a process of honest recognition, error analysis, a clear plan, small victories and regular self-control. The gradual introduction of new habits, support for the environment and professionals ensures a return to internal stability and self-confidence.
