can this really help??

Hi Mate

Tomorrow will bring exactly what you want it to bring. You are in charge of your life and your pathway and choices. It is up to you to get your mind straight and tackle this addiction head on. Self exclude and it will aid you in this battle. Remember take charge of your future and make it happen rather than let it happen

Take care

I've self excluded from nearly every site I can find but every time I get the urge and look hard enough I can always find one I've never signed up to before. Really wish I could get a list of all sites comparable fir mobile phone so I can go on every one and exclude from them all. Bloody hard mate. Hate it wish a passion.

Me too sometimes I feel I am beating this awful addiction then an unexpected opportunity to gamble appears and the urge to do so is awful. However, I now recognise these urges and have started to ask questions of them.

Ok so if I bet will I win?

If I lose what will that do in terms of my current debts?

What will that loss stop me from being able to do ?

Etc etc.

You must start to ask your own questions before acting on any urges. If you do the urge will pass in time and you will get more used to dealing with them! Good luck my friend fight this nasty addiction!

I'm ok for most of the week bar one night when the missus is on night shift that's when my urges kick in, I get bored no one to talk to so I go hunting for casinos and I always find one, I sometimes look for casinos when I'm looking tl exclude from them but I can never find any that I've not already excluded from yet when I have urges I always manage to find one and that's all it takes. I've emailed gamcare asking for a list of all mobile phone casinos so I know exactly what's all out there so I can go round them all but I'm not holding my breath. I've also emfailed the UK, Malta, and isle of man gambling commissions to see if they can provide me with a list of all casinos under their control but again I'm not holding my breath.

Good luck mate on your recovery and I hope you beat this truly awful addiction

Still not been tempted to play. I know it will come I just need to be strong and focused on stopping!!!

Hi. yeah I'm considering getting rid of my phone, I'm determined to beat this one way or another and if that's what it comes to then so be it.

just downloaded k9. fab app. although I'm administrator I have put a password in ill never remember and left it hidden at work on a piece of paper, this should work as like I said it's only when the missus is on night shift and I get bored I gamble so I know I won't uninstall while at work. thanks for the app info!!!

You sound very determined fair play to you im quitely confident myself but after so many false starts im taking nothing for granted and as kevin Bridges would say im taking no chances.

All the best

I've had so many failed dawn's also mate, always saying this is it never again then the missus goes to work on nights I'm in alone and that's when trouble starts. she is night shift tonight I have k9 filter on my Phone, gamblock on my laptop, tonight I will be slot free for the 6th day. I know scythe temptation isn't there my urges won't come to light. this really is the road to my recovery. good luck also mate, let's beat this horrible addiction!!

missus was night shift last night and I never gambled, played play Station and watched a movie.

urges kicking in. hope I wake up tomorrow gamble free!!

had quite strong urges tonight as soon as missus went to bed, thought of a way to get around the k9 web filter and I managed to but got bored of looking for sites that I'm not excluded from. thank God I'm excluded from most as tonight could have again a disaster. think I'm 6 day's slot free!!! tomorrow will be a week!!

doing well, still gamble free. not reappear any urges to play and hopefully when they do come I'll stay strong and resist temptation
