Hi guys,Â
This weekend i was supposed to be out with friends on Sunday for football meeting in the pub of course after not betting for 5 weeks and doing well. Once I'd said I'd go out my thoughts immediately turned to bet when I'm out. This Is probably the first real challenge since blocking myself on gamstop and gam ban and felt that "urge" and it's threw me a little.
Turns out I can't make it now anyway.Â
I just wondered what others experiences were of this and how do you try to deal with it?Â
CheersÂ

Hello

Thank you for using our forum
Going out can pose challenges for people recovering from gambling. You might like to consider asking your bank to place a gambling block on your bank card or make adjustments to how you manage your money so that you are given that bit of added support when you are out and about.Â
Our helpline is open 24/7 and you are more than welcome to speak to one of our advisors who would be more than happy to take your call to discuss ways you can manage these challenges
Thank you
