Hi guys. I'm currently 51 days gamble free after multiple failed attempts to stop and a whopping amount of debt (in excess of £20,000). As a last ditch attempt, I Googled a hypnosis video of you tube to stop me gambling about 4 weeks ago. I don't want tempt fate, but I actually believe that this has helped me. I haven't had a single urge to gamble since that day. I know that I was sickened by my gambling anyway, but I really do think that this has helped me. it's worth a try xxxx Suz xx

Hi Suz,

Congratulations on your 51 days gamble free. That is a great achievement and you have all reason to feel good about yourself.

If you have found something which works for you, stick with it. Maybe keep in mind that putting blockers in the way, like self-exclusion or cutting yourself off access to money can also be helpful tools if you do feel urges at some point. It's not too difficult to do and is a good safeguard.

All the best for your recovery!

Kind wishes

Gabriele
