Hi farhad.iz
Welcome to the forum and well done for posting and finally feeling that you can share your problems about your gambling.
There is a very supportive community of people here on the forum who understand how you feel and can offer much advice and support so keep reading and posting.
You could look into installing software which will block your access to online gambling sites. We recommend Betfilter and Gamblock but there are others. You can read about blocking software on our website and other forum users talk about types of software which has helped them to block their access to where they gamble. Do some research to see which type of product would suit your needs best depending on the devices you use. Some of our forum users have described additional ways they try to limit their freedom to gamble online, by arranging their finances in ways that slow down how quickly they can access their money, or limiting their ability to spend money online. Some forum members talk about changing their bank account to remove the facility to spend online, instead using a basic cash card that allows you to withdraw cash on the high street.
I would encourage you to call our helpline and talk things through with a GamCare adviser on 0808 8020 133 or on our netline. The advisers can provide emotional support and helpful information as well as facilitate a referral to free one to one counselling appointments if you’d like to access that service.
Best wishes
Alex
