So I lasted a whole 14 days before I relapsed. Things in my life got really bad and I turned to gambling for a boost... worked for the first 3 days I was up but then the last 6 I’ve lost more than I can bare to think about.
I found sites that I hadn’t either blocked myself from or that the site I’d found on here hadn’t blocked me from.
I feel even worse than I did and I know it’s going to get worse before it gets better.
I’ve again excluded myself from these new sites I joined. Honestly don’t think there’s a single site I haven’t joined! I binge then feel bad exclude then find a new site
There’s so much I could be spending the money on that would benefit my life
Hi plimsoll. I am someone like many that has come on and said that’s it no more gambling (even did 120 days GF) then relapsed so I know your feeling pretty rubbish.
What I would say is use Gamstop for a start as the do a big self exclusion which covers a lot of sites. They don’t cover every site and nobody does because not all sites sign up to gamstop which means that it’s difficult for anyone really to not be able to access some site and that’s where u think desire comes in.
That’s not me saying u don’t have the desire to stop because no doubt you do (this addiction is cruel and punishing with no mercy so who wouldn’t want rid!). My point it you need to really want this! I could go to the bookies 5 miles down the road tomorrow morning if I wanted or the casino 15 miles away in my next City and I know people on here that have bu it don’t because I want to be gamble free. Put He blocks in place and set the foundations but you need to build the rest of the house on your own mate with the support on here and get counceling
