Dear anonymous786,
Well done for making a choice to stop gambling. It is a big step that you are taking. It sounds like a good option to go into the shops and let them know about your self-exclusion so they are aware.
Usually the forum is a supportive place so hopefully there will be other users that will reply to your post. There is also a chatroom open every day at 1pm and 8pm where you can talk to other users who understand about stopping gambling.
I would also encourage you to contact the helpline on 0808 8020 133 or via our live chat available from the website https://www.gamcare.org.uk/get-support/talk-to-us-now /"> https://www.gamcare.org.uk/get-support/talk-to-us-now/ both of which are open seven days a week, 24 hours a day and where one of our advisers will be able to talk, for as long as you need, and look at all the support available to you.
You are doing really well to be posting here in this forum and I hope you keep reaching out to people for support as this is often really beneficial to staying gamble free.
All the best in your recovery.
Juan.
