Hey everyone, I've been gambling my whole life and it's got to a point where it's all I think about. I need to stop for the sake of my family. Does anyone have any coping mechanisms/strategies to help stop.Â
Â
My problem is I get a fair bit of cash with my self employed job, so every time I receive cash it's straight to the bookies and onto the machines.Â
Hi I've been in Yr situation it started as fun many years ago n now its anything but fun. I just got told about moses, ban for all bookies. Worth doing and finding something that will keep you occupied is also another, I find sudoku helps me mentally n meeting up with friends for a meal n drink helps on occasion. Do you have someone you trust who can help you monitor your cash so you haven't got easy access? Too easy to gamble, then win but then we end up giving it all back anyway so it's pointless. House unfortunately always wins. But don't give up giving up... It'll be the best thing you've ever done! Good luck my friend
