Just a bit of advice that has worked massively for me.
It doesn't matter how much you tell yourself "this is it, no more gambling" it'll almost certainly fade and you'll be back. Without doubt. 100%
For me getting rid of all physical cards has been probably the most important thing. You can get by with your virtual card in your Google or Apple wallet everywhere now with no limit at the supermarket or fuel station. I've even had a holiday and could use my phone on the plane and abroad no issues.
Then getting gamban on all your devices is the second thing. I've put it on my phone and computers and I'm sat here now with no means to access any sites.
This leaves me with no means to gamble at all.
Yes, I could order another bank card but this would take a few days and having to wait a few days isn't going to keep gambling brain happy so you never will.
You will get withrawal symptoms and you'll be glad of gamban and no card after a few weeks!
Some of you will have taken these steps but I'm sure many haven't.
Without a doubt the best thing I ever did.
