Hi Jason
Welcome. I'd encourage you to start a diary in the recovery diaries section and read a few others to gain some experience and support. You could consider getting some extra help from Gamcare like counselling or other support from Gamblers Anonymous? Tri
I was in a similar situation just till June this year but decided to do something about it, welcome, you're in the right place. It's not easy to stop gambling but with help and support you can do this,I won't kid you some nights like me you will be on the edge to gamble but be strong and in time you will see the rewards.
thanks all for support you have given me seems like a great place i know its going to be hard but this time ive relly got to try and beat this like today i went out shopping walked pass 7 bookies in one road thats so sick they are not relly there for live sports they are there for them gameing machines oh well i keep you all updated
