Cant stop playing the machines.
Hi caz123,
Thank you for your post, and well done for posting here.
I wish your post have given a bit more details about your gambling history, so as to enable me to respond accordingly to your needs.
I suggest that you go for Self Exclusion from all the places that you gamble from in case you gamble from the bookies or casino, and pls. make sure you opt for the maximum time ban, so as to give your mind set the time to adjust itself to the idea of not gambling or, not responding to the urge.
However, if you do gamble online, then try and install one of our recommended internet blocking software – Gamblock, Betfilter, and Net Nanny. They’ll stop you from accessing gambling sites
Habits are difficult break, and gambling problem is also difficult to try to stop it by yourself; most people need professional help to do that. Thus it’s a step in the right direction when you posted to the Forum, and obviously, seeking help and advice as to how to go about stopping.
Maybe, you’ll like to contact our free phone Helpline on: 0808 8020 133, and speak to one of our advisers or, contact us on the
NetLine; https://icontact.mplaurora.net/ChatApp/JoinChat.aspx for more advice on strategies to help you to control your urges, and eventually stop gambling. An adviser can also refer you to 12 sessions of free counselling if you think that would help you to stop gambling.
Our lines are open from 8.00am to midnight, every day.
Thanks again for your post, and pls. keep posting.
Kind regards,
Beatrice
