Hi,
So I am currently 6 weeks GF. Wow longest time gf in a long time.
Had a very close call yesterday popped into shop to grab some icepops and when I was at the till my eyes danced over the scratch cards and for a hot second I was like 'go for it, what's it gonna hurt ?'
But I just looked the other way and left with my Mr freeze. This is hard, but worth it.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
You can do this with the right blocks in place but you must realise that it takes much more than just willpower.
It goes deep and you must now start the learning process about what you are dealing with. It is actually a drug addiction to expectation. Its about learning who you are again and how gambling was able to take over
when you face the reality check you will understand that the odds are so far against you that its simply a mugs game.
However its far more complex than that and the mind control is triggered by all sorts of linked factors. Its essentially about an empty soul and is far less to do with the money
It is the most dangerous addiction going and it can raise its ugly head again out of the blue. Therefore you must have limited access to funds and close support.
It does ease and during a full recovery you will begin to wonder why you ever did it. I win every day because I dont gamble. My life is in control and my money is my own to spend wisely.
Best wishes from everyone on the forum
