Hi Buddy and welcome back to the forum , You obvoiusly know you need to stop right ? , and if youv'e been here before then you know what needs to be done regards keeping yourself safe from the site with blocking software and keeping the triangle broken ? I't will never change or stop until you do my friend and it sounds as though you really do need to change .
I don't have any experience with GA but I'm sure one of the many lads that do on here will point you in the right direction , you could speak to Oldham , Triangle , Deano or Dan all good spokesmen for the rooms or you could just google it for meetings and times ? , if you want to go on chat just follow the links on the main page .
I wish you well fella and welcome back to recovery .

Thanks Alan for your reply I know what I need to do to quit just when I get straight with money that's when I fall back into the trap just think it's the right time for ga meetings yeah b great if some of the lads can point me in right direction I've searched online just can't seem to find the ones near me for gamberling cheers for the nice post
Hi Pol
Have you looked on the GA site? www.gamblersanonymous.org.uk
Go on the GA meetings, find a meeting and type in your area. that'll show you all the meetings in your area. Tri
Hi Pol, very similar to yourself I would always return to the gambling after getting myself clear of debt we and both know it shouldn't be this way. Does your gf have any idea? She probably does and from experience it will be the fact that you hid it from her, the lies & deceit etc that will upset her more than the money. Maybe if she knew the whole story it would give you extra incentive to stop gambling altogether?
Thank tri will cheak that out in my dinner, hi Sam well when I got with my gf I told her about a big win I had and that I had lost most of it of it so she new of it, I stoped for about 6 months then got back on it and lost 1500 and had to tell her as we was renting, she said to me if I do again she will leave so she can't no 🙁
