@littlemix thank you so much, its like a breath of fresh air talking to people that understand and are in the same situation. I am so grateful for this site. I have just spoken to live chat, they are amazing I feel like a Weight has been lifted. I know this is going to be a struggle but with people like you I am hoping to beat this and enjoy life. I have joined gamban and gamstop to. Thank you so much and good luck with your journey x x 

You too weve got this no more for me I think it's fantastic that we can come together and unite in what has been very difficult for everyone do u k ow ur triggers if u do I go for a walk or take five minutes calm down then think ? u got this keep for yourself go and treat urself a guy I spoke to earlier said put £1 in a jar everyday u don't gamble n I have started that too so many people on here have got dome useful.tips which is great because it helps us all along the way x live chat at 8 o'clock too there's many others come on that too x

@littlemix we got this ? I am definitely going to join live chat I may just observe and listen for my first time. My trigger is at night when I have finished work my time, worst tonight because my husband is going out with friends and this is my perfect te to gamble, glass of wine and the laptop to myself but not tonight, I have live chat ? I have just put the money I would of used in a savings pot, something I haven't had for a while. Thank you for chatting to me and making me feel welcome.

Hey, 

Well done for taking the first steps! Everyone on here will be here to help and support you. 

I’m day 44 gamble free now, spent the last 3 years gambling on Facebook - bingo and raffle groups. Like you, it was fun to start with, I won etc, but now I’m £30k in debt because of it. 

Does your husband know? I came clean to mine 5 weeks ago now and it was the best thing I have done. It has helped me do over 6 weeks GF. 

Massive good luck with your journey. Come on the live chat and reach out if you’re struggling.

@xbluebearx anytime its easy to.lose track of time and yourself x

@cpparch amazing Claire well.done x

@cpparch Claire thank you so so much for your amazing advice. I feel so much more positive about this now. Congratulations on your amazing achievement. My family don't know about my gambling I don't feel strong enough yet x x 

@xbluebearx have u got someone to talk too xx 

@cpparch hi how did you cope the first few weeks if u don't mind me asking x

@littlemix I found it surprisingly easy. But I had tried so many times and failed. 

I was backed in to a corner and there was no way out, so came clean. 

I just felt I had to prove to my husband that I was determined not to do anymore. He was so supportive and just wanted me to be happy, it just went so smoothly. Almost feels like a another lift now?! X

@cpparch that's great me and hubby have fallen our si many times cried not spoken etc but I can honestly say now I'm ready I wasn't at first I panicked it sou do daft but the game has been apart of my life for 12months n I wasn't ready to.let go even acaessed my hubby's account he has just registered 5years on gamban something never ever thought he would do.but thankgod it's over he was worried I'd access other sites that aren't registered however they don't have that percufic game so it doesn't interest me so proud of him never I thought I'd see the day he did this but he has
