Hello @pr223

Thank you for using our Forum

You have taken a positive step towards remaining gambling free. Self-excluded yourself from online and offline gambling is an important step that many people with gambling issues find helpline in their recovery. 

If you would like to explore other options there is Gamban which you can access if you contact our helpline and speak to one of our helpline advisors. They would be happy to take your call. 

Well done on taking such an important step towards protecting yourself from gambling

 

Thank you

Hi mate,

Well done on your decision to quit gambling. As Pink Lady says this maybe one of the best decisions for your future.

I just merely suggest that try and identify what is pushing you towards gambling in your free times instead of, let's say reading a book or watching a film, documentary etc. Also, if the urges strike, please talk to someone or come on here and offload. 

Take care and keep your hard earned money.
