Day 12 of being gamble free so so happy to have made it to double digits :). My work has improved immensely in that new gamble free period. I know though that temptation is just around the corner so I really need to go and join sense the programme that excludes you from any land based casino in the UK. I've not wanted to go near a casino in case I get tempted and to join sense you must go in person but that is the next step for me from here joining sense and knowing I'm barred even if I want to gamble.
Well done on the no gambling, everyday abstaining is achieving a milestone, I am curious about the organisation that you mention, the reason being I have started a petition to do a similar thing but with online casinos, if there is something similar out there, then maybe I can approach them also, I tried to google sense but it is only coming up with the blind charity !?
Anyway, well done and keep staying strong x

Hi Heather thanks for your message hopefully you now have access to the page about sense from the forum admin. I've joined your petition a few days back sounds like a great idea.
Forum admin I accidentally clicked on a button while reading the posts on this thread as report as abusive. It was a mistake, the post was not abusive at all but encouraging so please ignore me.
Affected by gambling?
