New here, struggling massively with gambling

I'm the same I banned myself tonight.. I have 2 boys and gutted I got to go on beg for them to eat n cloth them, as I spend all my wages and savings it sickens me, it really does... but u are on right track and just think next time u get paid it be all yours and no one can take it away from you.. 

Hi.

Story sounds very familiar to mine.

I opened up to my partner and also both parents and brothers.  It seems to have helped me loads, I'm also reading a book on how to stop, which has been interesting.

Touch wood I am yet to have a bet in just over 2 weeks,  I think the support from family has helped, and I'd be to ashamed to do it again now they know.

My partner took my bank card, blocked all sites and also going to local bookies.

Hi, I hope you're doing well, I'm just going to say start full on, use all the tools to exclude yourself, remove the temptations, if need be have a trusted person take over your finances or be held accountable for your spending by giving someone access to your accounts. Start strong, and remember for just one day... I will not gamble, don't look ahead to a week a month a year, one day at a time is less daunting ?
