Hi I am a Gambling addict. I have stopped so many times and have recently relapsed. I always feel so sick once I have gambled and lost all that money. I always think I will get the money back that I have lost and I do and then I get greedy and gamble more. Its all the online slots and certain games become my favourite and the Bonus games got me. I feel so sick writing this now.
There is software to help block gambling sites if you want barriers in place to stop, I have been through what you are experiencing countless times and got myself in serious debt
Try gamstop software to prevent online gambling. I use it for my devices and it's worked great.
Well done for making it here tho, I assume not many people do so admiring you have a problem is the first step and recovery is not a lonely journey like gambling is... We are here and engage with like minded people who share there experience and understand the road to recovery even if we slip up come back and try again.

Gamban is a form of blocking software which blocks access to online gambling sites and apps. It is an important tool to help you stop gambling online and is especially effective when combined with signing up to GAMSTOP, the UK’s online self-exclusion scheme, speaking to a trained advisor on the National Gambling Helpline, and using a gambling block through your online bank account.
