Hi everyone, just lost my last £30 and fed up with doing it, searched help with gambling and here I am!  Don't really know what to say, sick of losing money, sick of thinking I'll always beat the bookie, never have, never will no doubt!

Had my last spin about 20 minutes ago and feeling irritated as hell right now!  Ready to stop all this, with any luck!

Evening,

Best case for online is to self exclude yourself from all platform. 

You will get the urges to gamble but since we're in lockdown you won't have anyother places to go to for gambling. Which Is always a great start.

Good luck and best wishes

Thanks guys, have done the blocking online and currently watching the arsenal game without even looking at any odds or betting options - actually enjoying the football for once in a long while!  Day 1 almost over so hopefully the first step of many more to come!

 

Told the missus I signed up on here too, she was a little shocked but naturally supportive of it!

 

One day at a time ?
