Hi Chappy,
Welcome to the Forum.
You say that you are ready to stop gambling and you have taken your first steps to help yourself achieve that, like cutting up your cards.
Maybe there is more you can do in order cut yourself off money to gamble with as well as gambling opportunities, like giving your money to someone else to look after or self-exclusion.
You can always contact us on the HelpLine on 0808 80 20 133 or on the NetLine http://www.gamcare.org.uk/support-and-counselling/frontline-services/netline and speak to an adviser in person, who will be able to suggest practical strategies which can help you as well as let you know about counselling options and other support available to you.
Both services are open from 8 am to midnight every day.
Kind wishes
Gabriele
