Hi first time I’ve ever done anything like this but I need some kind of help badly!
I started gambling when I was 16 going into old Smokey betting shops and have been hooked since 25 years on! I do a lot of betting online mainly sports betting football horses boxing cricket basically anything I can watch! I completely lose a sense of reality and nothing else matters at the time! I really want to stop but the urge will always drag me back in! Tried blockers to stop me accessing sites but you can always find another new rubbish one that is not on gamcare.Even if I can’t bet online  I will go to the local bookiesÂ
I’m hoping that just by writing this down for someone else to see that it will give me the kick I need to stop!
The urge will drag you back in for another 25 years too unless you do something about itÂ
Detach yourself from the compulsion , block the sites , block the transactionsÂ
Day 2 no betsÂ
I feel so much better in myself today not as miserable due to the losses.I have put some more blocks in place.I got some unexpected money today which normally I would have placed a bet with already,I’m feeling more optimistic then ever I can do this,have had a few urges today but I’ve beaten them.
