got to about 50 days and have no idea why but started gambling online again! But onwards and upwards, I am lucky that I have only lost money that I could afford, banned myself from online sites and going to try again
Will check in every day on here, thanks everyone for this fantastic site
Been there a few times. 7 days now without gambling. Weekends are the hardest . Went a few months on a few occasions. Even went 2 years before but always seem to end up back gambling. Too much temptation around . Best to try keep off the internet . Good luck

OK - lets help each other, I find the weekends the hardest as well, the thing is I do enjoy going into the Bookies on Saturdays - need to do something else
Weekends are the hardest especially when the football is on. All this advertising on tv doesn't help. I tend to find that when ur going cold turkey all of a sudden out of the blue betting companies you've never heard of start pestering. It's like just leave us be man. Iv self excluded from all the online companies I was registered with and going to be going into shops to self exclude aswell. Just hope the temptation doesn't win
Betting online is dangerous. Blink and you can lose it all within minutes . Try keep busy when ever you get the urge. With the money Iv saved off a previous gamble free period I bought a treadmill so whenever I get an urge I go on that . Running angry is good for you
Instead of playing the slots at lunchtime I am coming on here to read and get inspired from you all - thank you everyone
Yeah I used to spend my lunchtimes looking on betting websites for horses and football teams to put on me coupons. Now I just go for a walk and listen to some music . Tomorrow is the challenge . need to keep meself busy
My husband all of a sudden started gambling since I started work ( as he works night and now I'm not home during day). He stopped for years, but now this relapse, I can't understand why? Why gamble knowing that it would ruin your relationship, finance and everything else you worked so hard for? Please assist I just want to understand so that I can help him. I have never gamble drink smoke so I don't know the temptation and find it very hard to relate..thanks
