Setting myself goals to reach

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and targets. It’s really important to have a focus when trying to stop gambling, and you’ve made the hardest choice already which is stopping. 

I reached my 1 year milestone yesterday, and I would advise any of the following support options:

-GamBan to prevent you accessing websites and also having any online accounts. If you can’t access anything, it becomes a major relief when you are fighting a big urge.

-GamCare Counselling

-GamCare chat rooms (1pm and 8pm everyday)

-Talking to others and being open 

I am backing you to succeed, July will be a great time for you!

@azzabazza thank you so much amd congratulations on your milestone. Have you got any other tips on how you have done it we will beat this 

Hello @yojojojo91 and welcome to the forum.

You have taken some really positive steps already, and as much as feelings of guilt can be present, you can get through this and make yourself and your son proud.

As I am sure you will find, the Forum is a welcoming and supportive space which allows you to talk to others who may also be experiencing similar issues to yourself.

Should you be in need of any further support with your recovery, please feel free to contact the helpline on 0808 8020 133 or via our live chat available from the website https://www.gamcare.org.uk/get-support/talk-to-us-now/  both of which are open seven days a week, 24 hours a day and where one of our advisers will be able to talk, for as long as you need, and look at all the support available to you.

Wishing you all the very best,

Dan
