Hi i`m new to this forum but not new to gambling, i have been an adictive gambler for the past 27 years, today is day 1, i have put as many blocks up as i can to try and not lessen the urge but to lessen the dustruction and avaliability of funds to which be tempted by. One day at a time.
Hi knobby - Well done on putting the blocks in place. You are right - it is one day at a time but you will be surprised how quickly they mount up. Do visit the site often as you will find so much support and good advice here.
If you read other people's stories you will see that you can turn your life around, however long you have been gambling. You can do it!
Best wishes,
Joanna
Hi knobbly
Welcome to the forum and well done for posting. You will find a lot of support here and a community of people who understand your struggle with gambling please keep reading and posting on the forum.
You have already taken steps to restrict your access to gambling which is a big step forward.
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
Rachel.
