Hello, I am new here, I am a payday gambler of many years. I really want to change and be different, to have a healthy relationship with money and finances for my little girl, as she doesn't deserve a mother who does what I'm doing. She is my motivation to do better. But I need a little help in regards to coping mechanisms. Like, what are your go tos when you feel the urge to gamble?
Many thanks,

Hi, I am new here too. I have 1 payday loan that I will pay off on Monday but I fear that if I don’t stop now, then it will be more in the future. I’m boredom betting and that’s getting me into financial trouble. I’d like to break away from gambling now and read other people’s ideas on how to overcome the boredom. Thanks for reading.
I can totally relate to your post I am the same and want a better life for my children too.
