hi. This is my first day gambling free I was using online slots and gradually over the last 11 months became more and more drawn into playing Last night I registered with GameStop and today I feel normal. No more thinking about which site to go on and no more hiding my playing from family
Good luck on your recovery
Thanks vin
Hi
Good luck on your journey!
I have been GF for nearly 3 months and I feel fantastic! don't get me wrong, some days are tough, but the longer I go on the less I think about it. It occurred to me yesterday, I actually haven't thought about gambling for a week!
I now see the bigger picture and for the first time in a long time, I have money in the bank. No more gambling till every penny had gone. registering on gamstop was the best thing I did.
so I now continue with my journey and wish you luck with yours.

Hey
well done, this is my 8th hour gf after 10 years! I’ve had enough
good luck on your recovery x
Now over 8 days gambling free thanks to gamstop. First time in 11 months since I first started online slots. Without the ban I feel I would easily slip back into old ways so although I put a one year van on GameStop will definitely have to extend it to 5 years.
After years of gambling,now 5 days free.cant say it's getting easier but the thought of betting gives me headache.im committed to this and will give it my best shot
Still haven't been to a meeting yet as this was a big for me to relay my feelings others.but I'm sure soon enough I will.
With each day in feeling better but know if you lose focus you can slip at anytime.
Thanks paddy, yes at the end I vertically hated betting but couldn’t pull back. Now it’s such a relief, good luck 5 days gambling free is great.
