Hello h-1991
Welcome to the Forum!
It is great to hear that you taken the step of putting gambling blocks in place. You are not alone in thinking that filling your time should be the next focus in your recovery journey. It can be helpful to think of hobbies or activities that we used to enjoy that perhaps we have had a break from. Some people may try new hobbies. Whilst you think about what you would like to plan to fill your time please feel free to join in our Chatrooms and this itself can help pass the time, bring peer support and we usually encourage sharing ideas on what has helped others.
Best Wishes,

Hi
It's the way forward if you want to stop. Get all the blocks in place, Gamstop, get gamban on your devices, block your bank card from transactions and join moses and sense. It gives you security and a barrier in place
Don't worry about filling your time, I thought that but spend my time walking, reading, watching recovery videos, researching addiction, going to GA and especially coming on the chatrooms here. I don't have a minute to spare now doing worthwhile things and just enjoying a gamble free life.
You are worth it so do this for yourselfÂ
