So Day 1,
Today has been a difficult day the plan was to go self exclude from all bookies in my town however I didnt venture out the house i self excluded from all my online accounts and worked out how much money I owe from my gambling and the outlook is brighter then i thought but I no longer have my head buried in the sand no more unopened letters its time to get straight im not going to lie the temptation to deposit before i self excluded was there especially as it took a while to find the live chat button on some of them, however i resisted and even when a friend popped round to pay me money he owed me i didnt actually feel the urge to pop round the corner to my local bookies and play the machines, however working tomorrow so should self exclude then.
I know this isnt going to be easy even watching the world cup with all the gambling adverts making it look easy to win lol.
Hi Adam - well done on self-excluding and for resolving to do so at the bookies tomorrow.
You sound very positive and that's good.
