Hi All
I'm disgusted with how much gambling has taken from me and sick to the stomach it continuing. I thought I had made good progress cutting out land casinos but over past two weeks have hit every non self excluded site online.
Does anyone know anyway on how to self exclude from all sites easily is one click? There always seems to be a new one listed when i search.
Also any free gambling site blocking software and links to them?
I really want and need to stop the debt I'm in is spiralling and I have a five year plan to reduce but need to stop the temptations!
Thanks
nb

Hello newbeginnings,

Currently there isn't a way to self-exclude from all gambling websites 'In one click'. It is good that you are considering using blocking software. When choosing blocking software, it is important to select one that is compatible with the particular device that you planning to protect, for example some blocking software comes in different versions that are compatible with Windows or iOS. http://www.gamcare.org.uk/get-advice/what-can-you-do/blocking-software#.VCA52fldXww

How do you feel about allowing someone close to you to install parental controls on your internet access or devices, or to allow someone close to you to monitor your finances? Allowing people close to you to support your recovery is an approach many of our forum members have used, for example allowing their partner or parent to help in these ways.
