If you are struggling with the temptation of online gambling why haven’t you registered with Gamstop? 

What is stopping you?

Blunt answer I have, but i'm also aware there are many ways around Gamstop and other blockers.  Its a tool worth having as part of my blockers though.

Don't think you will get many answers as mistbon here will have to be honest.

 

I get the question though

the problem is most people come on here to either be told everything is going to be alright or to complain that they have lost too much 

very few are deadly serious about stopping gambling they are just desperate to stop losing so much

Have to agree, most don’t understand the lifelong commitment this is.

some just want a cuddle, others come and go when they read what they have to do to prevent gambling, you 100% must not gamble again to make this work , put every block in place.

im not there yet with handing over my finances yet...why? I’m not 100% convinced it can work in my situation having not told my OH and want to get through this without having too if possible, bit hypocritical of me yes but at least I admit it.
