One day at a time mate,  will power and determination will see you through.  Good luck. 

totally agree with u King on that one 10 years of gambling certaintly isnt the same as being 10 weeks of addiction this is one thing i do like to stress the earlier a person tackling this illness the better it would especally when u have realised it causing issues for me it took 5 years when i realised it all me and i have been battling it ever since am now on day 604 for the first time i am actually going for it even more effort when i did 3 years the difference now is i remind myself the harm it causes me and reading posts on here keep my hate going, i have noticed i dont get no urgues just odd gambling thoughts of the people i use to talk too has i did have few good chat with the people see how they are, i fully recognise this is the addiction playing games

Today I am 20 days gamble free. 

Not many you may say but for a gambling addict for the last 10 years losing over 250k it is for me. 

In previous attempts I have managed over 100 days but relapsed each and every time. 

I am putting in every ounce of effort and commitment to knock this on the head once and for all. I simply cannot afford any further setbacks. 

Well done that’s a good start all the best to you. I’m now 4 weeks gamble free and surprisingly found it easier than anticipated although I know that can change in an instant.

Ive had no desire to gamble at all (still put £2 on the lottery hope that’s not cheating :-))

The way I’ve got through this month was to think back to 17 years ago when I placed my first bet and thinking of all the designer clothes and holidays I could afford and how my life was stress free, I wanted that life back and it’s great knowing every penny in my bank after bills is being spent on myself and family instead of knowing no matter how much excess income I had in my bank I would lose it all at some point during the month.
