Back to square one..

The fact that you are here shows a lot. You are not alone

Hey 

Please don’t beat yourself up about it, I relapsed big time and felt awful. However this illness/disease/addiction really messes you up. As debsey said you’ve come back here to get the support you need. Have you used Gamstop at all? That’s what I’ve used and even tho early days and I still want to gamble, I know that I can’t and I’m now 5/6 days without losing any money and that feels good.

Keep posting and you really aren’t alone on this.

Good evening, and thank you for your support. Yes I've tried Gamstop and Gamban, unfortunately there's a loophole which I need a company to block my account but they aren't forthcoming unfortunately. My own fault entirely. But the fightback starts now, one day at a time! 

Hi @mastersd123,

Sorry to hear you are going through a difficult time. I'm glad you have come back here for support. I'm sure you will be encouraged and supported by the forum users on here.

You don't have to do this alone. I will strongly encourage you to contact our helpline and have a chat with our friendly advisers.They are available 24 hours a day on the Helpline (0808 8020 133) and  our 1:1 Livechat (our webchat service) to listen non-judgmentally and offer support and advice. They can talk you through tools and strategies to help you stop gambling, and options for free treatment so that you have ongoing support.

Warm wishes,

Vanessa

I’m glad you are here. I am here after a relapse and it was a long relapse. I have made the commitment to write an entry once a day and log in and chat either in the chat room once a day or to an advisor. I’m doing that for a month. I feel this will help me refocus. Have you tried the gamchange course? I have started today . Sending solidarity 

This feeling of guilt disgust regret and everything else is hard to cope with, would love to talk to someone
