Was here about a year ago when I quit online gambling. Stuck to it for a month or so but then started to slip with the "odd bet now and again" now worse than ever. Fed up with it. Keep kidding myself it's ok and it's just a tenner here or twenty there but when I add up what's being lost it's really frightening. I've no idea how I'm affording it. Need to stop for good this time before it's too late.
Hi Nirvana
Yes, stopping before it gets out of hand is a very good idea. Have you thought about putting a block on your computer. Not easy for phones or iPads though as I found out. The only was for me was to get rid of the iPad and just use my computer which has an excellent block on it.
Opportunity should then be gone and you can build up your strength to resist gambling. I am newish here but have had similar relapses in the past. Now blocking sites seems to be working for me.
