Well done jappy.  I think anything that makes it more difficult is to be encouraged and shows the positive headspace you are in. ?

Today a beautiful morning walked into work knowing I can’t gamble - feeling good, looking forward to doing something positive this evening! Self excluded so another nail in coffin! Gamble free day!

Hi 

It was a wise decision to exclude your self.

It is a healthy boudary you hve set up for your self.

Love and peace to every one.

Wide awake at silly o’clock! Thought I would read some forum blogs! The safety net of self exclusion helped today! Walking home I must have passed 15 bookies and the knowledge I can’t go in helped me as I simply walked home. This will help give me some headspace and to get out of the habit of popping in! Here to a day gamble free!
