Day 1 - Competition sites

Well after spending nearly £5k in a week on competition sites, it’s safe to say I’m ashamed of my actions, although I’ve won a little back, various prizes, but doesn’t make me feel better or right. 

This is my day 1 - to put a stop to these sites, which quite frankly are preying on the vulnerable, as they’re not regulated and bypass the gambling commission rules. 

I’m in a fortunate position where I can technically afford these losses, however I say fortunate, I, like others work very hard for my earnings and it can be spent on much better things, like savings, holidays and general life. 

I’m really ashamed of my actions and worst of all hidden it from my wife. I’m not sure on how she’d react if I come clean to her on the matter, or shall I just work at it with support from a forum such as here? She won’t know any difference money wise, as I provide enough for the family, in various places. 

Really don’t know how to go forward from here, just taking one day at a time I guess. 

Any recommendations on how I can block these sites from my phone?
