Hi there, I'm a compulsive gambler since 2016. This is my first serious attempt to quit gambling and today marks my 100th day being gambling free. I've had a few vague attempts in the years, mainly due to lack of funds, and it took a while to understand that I didn't really try to quit for the right reasons and also I didn't really want to quit forever. I've never been gambling free for 100 days, so this means a lot to me. On the other hand, as more and more time passes, I am getting more and more frustrated and afraid of another relapse. I'm banned from all my online accounts and physical casinos, because in my country you can sign into a gambling ban register from the National Revenue Agency for a minimum of two years. This helped A LOT. I also asked someone to handle my finances during the first month. I haven't felt that good in quite some time and I don't want to lose that feeling. I'm a single mom and all I have is myself and my daughter. It's hard sometimes, but I don't want to let myself down again and lose all the progress I've made. I know better, because every time I relapsed, I hit the ground harder and harder.Â
Well done Nona keep refreshing and resetting every day I know what you mean about that constantly chipping away frustration it’s like fomo it’s that you think that I am good at my addiction even thinking that after year’s of gambling I must be skilled at itÂ
 So the addiction tries to bring you back to the treadmill of you losing control that is the moment that you take action you do get used of the warning signs thank goodness I found GamCare I wish you the best of a future let’s battle on
