struggling for long time, really need some help

Hi Zammo

Welcome. I'm no jedi master but I've written a topic each day on here under a film title so you can find them. There are ones that might help you now to build some foundations. 

I would strongly suggest talking to the advisors on here who are amazing, get to some 8pm chatrooms and also read as many posts as you can.

Do you have any questions you need answers to ? 

What sort of gambling did you do ?

I'm more than happy to help and support you if I can

@lp5vut869c hi Stuart thanks the the reply I’ve been gambling for 42 years I’m 50 now back in the days it was fruit machines what started it, played them till 17 then the bookies turned up with those shute machines then at 25 online kicked in use to play a lot of poker but never had a problem with no other gambling apart from online slots, that is what as destroyed me, I’m not going to lie I’m pretty scared about this because I’ve wanted to quit for 30 years, I had 1 stint of going 31 days in my early 30s but I guess something bad happened at that time and bang straight on it again, I hate what I done, wasted my whole life doing this s**t, but I’m 2 days in and feels good to talk about it and release the bad energy

Changing routines very important like I don’t go out drinking in pubs with horse racing on etc

Hi Zammo

It came be done. So far of turned 44 years of gambling everyday into 198 days gamble free. It's been a lot of work and is everyday. As Dazza said, change the routine but have a routine which really helps. Abstinence is one thing and creating friction so you can't place a bet. Then start to look at the cause and work on creating a better life with nether thoughts
