Okay,
I have used this website on and off for about 2 years now, only stopping gambling when I have been skint or really P****d off with gambling. I have put up barriers and knocked them back down again when the urge comes.
I am young and almost debt free (not in debt from gambling) I have a beautiful fiancŠĀ© who would be destroyed if she knew of the money and time spent gambling. The barriers are going back up and I am going to check in daily to begin with and slowly phase out this gambling nonsense!
My first goal is to go 25 days gamble free and book up a re take of my driving test. Once this goal is achieved I will think up another.
Thankyou for reading.
Harry.
Good luck Harry. Good for you for giving it another shot, here's to 25 days gamble free. Take Care C x
Good to have you back Harry let's make this the last day one.
Cheers for your comments I'm feeling ready to do this now, day one was a breeze! It always is when your skint lol, a week and a half till pay day that's when the real tests will start but my barriers are up and I'm focused on the future! me and the misses are opening up a joint savings account over the weekend so it will be nice to start putting some money away instead of thinking how to spend it as soon as I get it, I hope you have both had a good day?

Ah great idea Harry. Great you're ready for it! Yes, I'm doing ok thanks. I always seem to feel worse first thing in a morning, but I suppose I've never been a morning person! Ha ha. Things are always that little bit more of a struggle of you're tired. But feeling positive now and now on double figures, so I'm chuffed at that. Again, my test will be pay day. No more staying up until 2am until wage goes in so I can gamble majority of my wage away! Will be going straight against debt and in savings! Take Care C x
Why do I gamble ffs skint again at the 7th of October this is b******t what is wrong with me š
Harry bud the only time you come here is when you're skint you've got to work at it harder. Build some blocks up to make it harder to place that first bet. tell your family how bad it is, how hard it is for you to stop be honest with them get some support be it with counselling through Gamcare or GA or I'm sure the forces will offer you some support.
It no good keep coming back here when it all goes wrong and you're skint you need to be working at it everyday.
I don't mean to be harsh mate but nothing changes if nothing changes you'll just keep going round in the same cycle.

Hi Harry , I've got to mirror Oldhams post to you mate , how many times have I spoken to you everytime time you turn up here ?
I spoke to you at xmas last year and you said you'd told your partner everything and how she'd been so supportive of you and you said you realised what I'd told you about your carreer being affected ? . Nothings changed mate , same S****e different day is all , you only got paid on the first of the month and 6 days later youv'e done it all again , what do expect is going to be different this time if you carry on doing the same thing every month , your girls not going to keep putting up with it for too long and nor will your C/O if it goes much further , seriously mate you need to do what you started out to do , have a rummage around and find a pair before it;s too late .
Your playing at wanting to give up and if your serious need to make sure your barred from everywhere in town and near base , lose your smartphone and get a brick that just makes calls and txt's , on top of which you need to limit the amount of money you can get your hands on .
Sorry to sound harsh and have a rant Harry but what youv'e done so far is clearly not working buddy !
