Hi Mike,
It's great that you've decided to stop gambling. You need to put measures in place to prevent any relapse in future. You could put your finances in the hands of your future wife. You could consider blocking gambling sites with K9 (free) with her setting the password and keeping it secret from you. Self exclusion from your local betting shops could be useful.
Free counselling Via Gamcare may be helpful and or attending your local GA meetings.
I use do the 2015 Challenge on the Forum which has helped me a lot. It's very much one day at a time and I,m now on Day 42 free of gambling.
You need to put up as many barriers as you can to prevent future gambling. You can have a really great life when you get married. I just thought I'd put forward a few ideas for you.
Free is right, two weeks gambling free is excellent. You've come this far so keep it going.
Best Wishes.
Take Care Now.
