Sounds like after many years you have come to the realisation that your problematic gambling needs to stop. You have made a positive step forward in posting here. With your determined attitude, perseverance, with the support of us and other forum users, today shall be the first day of many, taking each day at a time. Well done Chunk. Keep reading others’ experiences, you will find our Forum to be encouraging, and perhaps start an online diary to track your progress.
You can also get in touch with a GamCare adviser through our Freephone helpline on 0808 8020 133 or come through on a Netline call if you want to talk through your struggle with gambling. We are open from 8am to 12 Midnight daily.
All the best Chunk.

Thank you, day 4 without a bet and feeling good, self excluded from all my online accounts, all were very helpful apart from Betway who even after I explained I have a serious gambling problem and requested self exclusion thought the best course of action would be to offer me a £50 no deposit required free bet!!!!!! Needless to say I was not to happy and asked them again to exclude me and declined their 'kind offer'
Keep on being strong everyone!!!!
