Been 16 days gambling free..I signed up to gamstop which is free and excludes you from joining most websites to gamble. I would have easily lost more money without it as i keep trying to sign up when tempted to gambling. I defo recommend it it's took stopping more heartache
Hi.lou lou25.well done 16 days is great.ive nearly done a week.gamstop is good.have u also tried gamban?
I tried it but managed to uninstall it so wasn't right for my phone but the self exclude seems to have worked couldn't bring myself to do it for more than 6 months ..should have done 5 year option but I always think what if but will worry closer to time, well done on your week
Thanks lou.yeah u should of done 5 years.can u not change it? Struggling a bit today.horses was my thing and saturday the worst day.trying to stay strong and fight these urges!
Yeah it must be possible it's just doing it...well done for fighting urges and coming on here..I also tried to sign up to a gambling site again earlier luckily it didn't let me and since the urge has disappeared.. yes Saturday seems to be the main sporting day and differs shown everywhere but it's not worth it after the stress it causes us long term.
I used to love saturdays and now i dread them.i havent even put the tv on today coz i know what ill see.gambling adverts everywhere! Theres just no escape from it
It was the grand national that started my whole gambling off a few years ago placed a bet then another then realised the online world of casinos and found blackjack the adverts make it all worse I agree especially with offers like join up and free bet but then you end up loosing so much more and it's not worth it but yet we always feel tempted
Affected by gambling?
