Dear Kaym07,

Thanks for taking the time to update us all on how well you have been getting on. Glad to see you are in a much better place and still going strong.

It sounds like having the weekly support and having the self exclusions in place have been a positive aid in your recovery journey. Fundamentally, all the hard work and commitment has come from you. Keep it up!

I'm sure your post will offer motivation and encouragement to whoever reads this.

Thank you very much for the positive feedback. 

Wishing you all the best,

Hi Forest, 

I put Gamstop and Gamban on all my devices that I use, I had weekly sessions with a woman which really helped and I joined in on the chats daily with other people. 
It was hard first couple of weeks but I found it very supportive and having the self exclusions really does help. 
it got easier at around a month and it felt so good as I got my mind set in it. I kept myself busy by doing other things like reading, exercising and kept telling myself i could do this 

Hi Lynette ,

thank you for commenting, 

I wish you all the best of luck in your recovery, 

it will be hard but anything and everything is possible. I didn’t believe I could do it but I did and still going strong, having self exclusions in place and talking to people really does help. 
good luck and keep up the good work?
