Hi Matt
Welcome to the forum.
Well done on recognising the problem with your gambling and for seeking advice. Seems like you feel that you have lost control over your gambling and you want to find ways to stop.
There are strategies that you can use to help you over come your gambling problems some of which are self-exclusion from betting shops and also installing blocking software to block access to online gambling sites. Some people also think about arranging their finances in ways that slow down how quickly they can access their money, or limiting their ability to spend online.
Please feel welcome to talk things through with a GamCare adviser on 0808 8020 133 or on our netline. The advisers can provide emotional support and helpful information, as well as facilitate referrals to one to one counselling appointments if you’d like to access that service too.
