Today I am 707 gamble free the last week has been hard wanting to gamble! Asking my partner to gamble for me. I have noticed a pattern when I have had a couple of drinks I’m wanting to gamble I have never gone through with it and times I have asked partner to gamble for me and she has! I had some gamble support I only had a couple of sessions and I haven’t heard back from the person so I messaged and he told me my session are no longer active. That got me down and 2 days ago I asked my partner to gamble for me she gave in gambled for me! I don’t blame her! But I have put that to the past now and moving on. I’m proud the fact I haven’t broke yet and I’m still 707 days gamble free!
Are you 707 days GF ? if your partner gambled on your behalf ?. Perhaps I've read wrong, just confused.

Hi All,
This thread strikes at the very heart of the treatment of addiction. I haven't gambled since 2018, should I ask my wife to place a bet online ( I'm excluded through Gamstop ) or walk into a betting shop & place a bet on my behalf would I still be gamble free?

Hi I spoke with gamcare last night I’m classed as gambling free as I wasn’t the one that gambled I’m banned from all shops online sites. But we have classed it as I’ve watched my partner gamble and it wasn’t my money. So I shouldn’t really of asked her to gamble in the first place. I know I shouldnt of asked her to gamble for me. But I now realise I could of put myself down that road. Also I could of got my partner into that stage of wanting to gamble. So I won’t be doing that again. 707 days has been a rocky road. But when I was told I haven’t ruined it and we classed as a blip that I watched. I have been very upset with myself so I needed someone to speak to to see if I can still class myself as gamble free witch we agreed I was I just had a blip in watching her
