No gambling to report now for 10 weeks. At the beginning I found it so difficult as my relationship with money was so messed up.

It was like I didn't know what to do if I had money in my account, I had gotten into a major cycle of gambling my money straight away and always being skint.

As a coping mechanism I set up a saving account online. Every day that I have felt like gambling I have transferred the money I would have wagered from my main bank account to my saving account.

In 10 weeks I have accumulated 1150 . So I am going to pay off a substantial chunk of my credit card now.

This is my way of coping, and building a healthier relationship with money.

Hi CW

Well done for 10 weeks was it online or bookies if online still worth to self exclude or block . Even give your card to a family member or friend while you go on to change passwords or self exclude so no temptation ! keep the 10 weeks up .
