Hi everyone right now today as of now I am gamble free for 6 days and 6 hours.
If you really want to stop gambling you have to set goals for yourself,you have to put bans in place like Gamstop,gamban,bank blocks,give away your bank cards or lock them up to a safe a place,delete your Internet banking apps from your phone for a while,take very little cash to work maybe just couple of pounds a day etc etc just trying to give you all who struggle with gambling little advice what works for me.
I have wasted thousand of pounds in time that I gambled probably lost nice 5 bedroom villa house at the seaside I would say.It doesn't matter,past can't be changed but what can be changed is that you stop being gambling addict and get yourself a prospective life with no gambling involved.All of us who gamble waste everyday not just the money but think of how much time you spend gambling a day 6 to 10 hours approximately?IÂ would say that i bet you do but i dont bet no more so i say i am pretty sure that you do spend that much time.And at the end of the gambling session you realise it was absolutely worthless.
Set yourself a plan when you get paid pay your bills and whatever is left take it out of bank and put it somewhere safe at home make yourself weekly cash envelopes what you can spend and on what.Write down a diary about your spending and most of all have a discipline and love yourself.Dont neglect your life no more with gambling i know its easy to say but harder to do but it's not that hard.
Self discipline and plan that's all it takes.
Well done long may it continueÂ
