Sick off it

Hi Ash and welcome to the forum :)) 

It's all about getting the mindset right buddy and deciding what means more to you , your family and future or the next bet ?.

That sound's cold right ? but ultimately that's what you risk losing if you continue down this path as it get's no better the further it goes , I always loved the horses too but it was the Fobt machines in the bookies that were my eventual downfall but even though the horses were no real issue I know I can't risk another bet as I know full well where it all end's . 

Congratulation's on nearly your first week gamble free , I know from experience it's not always easy :). 

You should have a  good look around the site as there's a wealth of information on here and lots of good advice,  if your in doubt about anything then just ask and someone will respond or contact admin if you need too :)) . 

This is all doable my friend and you can live without gambling in your life but my only advice for now is to not think too far ahead and just take it one day at a time , the thought of never gambling again can be a scary prospect but one day at a time is a smaller chunk to swallow :)) 

Wishing you well for now buddy 🙂

Hi Ash, 

Keep it going 1 week is great. I have done 5 days gf after aother relapse, putting my wife and boy though it again and seeing my wife so upset is hard and the guilt and shame is so hard to take but this time I have done something about it. I joined the site on Tuesday and the support is great. Take it day by day we can all do it together. 

Hi Ash get blocks in place for today mate make sure you have no cash give it the Mrs and keep busy it's a nice day plan on going out for day treat kids and take them to a park or something
