Hi To Anybody That Reads This,
I've only recently signed upto GamCare because I want to change my ways and curb my addiction because it's hurting me and others around me in more ways than one. I genuinely want to stop gambling from ruining my life but I know it's a long and dark road before I will get there and despite the fact that I am doing everything I can to stop this from getting worse, I was wondering if anyone had any advice or tips to help make this a little bit easier?
I'm just scared of basically just kidding myself, any advice would be highly appreciated.

P.S - I have a 1 to 1 counselling session on Monday and also on Monday I will be attending my first gambling addiction group meeting because I think I just need as much support as possible to help me get through this!
Hi Tavey88,
I've posted a few words on your other new members intro.
You seem very determined to quit and it can carry you through. Once the gamble free days start to mount up your thoughts will become much clearer and you will start to feel peace of mind again. I know I have and you can too. Take it one day at a time.
You could join the 2015 Challenge on here. It's helping me a great deal.
Great to see you've got the counselling organised. You should pick up some ideas there.
Take Care Now.
