This time last week looking at my win/loss on my b*****r account I was £200 up on them. Delighted I thought considering they were£1200 up on me a few weeks before. Now sitting here writing this there now £2200 up on me ! £2400 gambled in a few weeks and nothing to show for it ! So today I have joined this forum and decided that enough is enough ! Day 1 today start for me ... A new chapter in my life.
What is k9 and can you tell me where to download it or get it ?. How do you mean keep reading diary so ? Diarys on here ?. Nope I'm flying solo ! Determined to do it myself.
Cheers thanks for info ! I'll keep having a look at diaries each day. Can I ask what's helped you the most to stick away from it ?
Hi Craig
You may find this link helpful in finding some blocking software to help you.

Hi there, can you tell me does this work in Apple devices ie iPads and iPhones as that's where I would bet ?
Hi CraigyBhoy, a big welcome to recovery 🙂
Just noticed your post on one of OldhamKTF's threads & thought I'd recommend one by GT called Tips for keeping busy...I'll give it a bump now!
I wouldn't recommend flying solo as even with daily cyber hugs (which you get more of over on the Recovery Diary section), this journey can be pretty hard work! Why not drop into a GA meeting or jack up some counselling through GamCare? Breaking your gambling (Time-Money-Location, remove one & you cannot gamble) triangle is important to helping you abstain...We cannot win because we cannot stop!
Welcome to your new chapter, time to start enjoying life - ODAAT
That would be good. However I'm struggling to keep up with your lingo ? What do you mean by ill give it a bump ? Sorry for not understanding you. Yep I've been having a look at where local counselling meeting happens etc and I'm going to find out when the next ones are. I've recently self excluded from all the online bookmakers that I would use as I wouldn't bet in betting shops.
Cheers thanks for the advice !
Sorry, we're really bad with abbreviations on here! I see you managed to find the thread (it would have taken me a week in the early days) & unless you want Mills & Boon, I'll steer clear of answering your question on reading material! I'll have a chat with my hubby & see if he has anything useful to suggest if nothing appears by tomorrow.
Good skills with those exclusions 🙂 If you can't figure out the blocks for your devices, maybe give GamCare a call, they may be able to talk you through your options.
Yeah, managed to find it after I realised there was a search option up the top right hand corner of the screen. Already on Netflix digging half the Tv series out that people have posted. Thanks again for your help. Craig
