Hi lukey,
It's good that you have joined the forum, despite still having gambled i have done this on and off for four years since I was 18! It's not easy to stop, and only now that I have been harsh but honest with me have I figured out what's been pushing me over that cliff and down into the gambling Pitt. Good luck with your journey, everyone's is different but we are all in the same situation.
Do try to self exclude where you can, and call the helpline they have been brilliant for me!
