Hi Ayr 380

I am in the early stages of giving up being 1 month and 11 days gamble free. From my own side of the journey, what's helped me is

I self excluded for five years with gamstop

Installed Gamban on all my devices

I regularly take part in the chatrooms on here which really help

Talk to the livechat when ever i need to

Self excluded from betting shops with MOSES

Self excluded with Sense

Am receiving CBT counselling from Breakeven

Got referred by GP to NHS mental health team for help with my mental health

Started walking a lot with gives you the dopamine hit instead of gambling

Lots of committment to stopping as well
