Problem

Hi harrisonj17 and well done for coming on here and admitting its a problem and that you are a compulsive gambler.

I am 26 and have been a compulsive gambler for around 8 years you need to stop this now because it only gets worse, yes you may have the odd win but you can not win because you can not stop. Don't know what your poison is but put all the blocks in place to stop you accessing it, plus try to get to your nearest ga meeting they will help you loads.

Good luck ste26

Thanks guys seems to be helping already.

Seems like a waiting game now to get things back on track but i'm going to try my best.

1st day gone and not one bet placed. Come on

Hope today is another good one for you - you can do it!

Thanks baggins, ive worked from 9 till 8:30 today so haven't had a chance to look on a gambling website which is a good thing. Day 2 is complete and im feeling much better about myself!!
