when you are on the point of placing a bet, our minds are whispering shall i shant i. We must at this crucial point say to ourselves this is just a fleeting moment it will surely pass.

No ones brain can feel a urge to gamble 24/7 their has to be apoint where the brain has a lull and it passes.

wait at the biting point and let it pass do not act on the compulsion, yiu can teach your brain to do this i lasted 14 months using this method.

Now i have put the blocks in place I am not just relying on will power i have anothe  tool to stop gambling. Today i am on the road to recovery again after abstaining from gambling 14 months. the next day after i ent straight back into recovery mode.

Now i am on Day 15 of my new recovery and i won't make the same mistake twice.The definition of insanity is a person that doesn't Learn fron their mistakes.

No gablers are crazy they are sick with an addiction the good news is yur brain can and will go back to normal thought Processes, something an addict doesn't have but yu can change it if you want. bestwishes

Well done Johnny.  I was in the same position as you but went 16 months g.f! Thankfully, (although losing around 4k of my own money), I managed to put the final block in place - Gamban, to prevent me from gaining access to those dodgy overseas online gambling sites👌💪.

Stay strong, focused and continue to have a less stressful life.

Pink Lady 🩷🍎.
