Day 1

You got this! We all got this! What did you do when you stopped before? I’m newbie here 🙂 

@kaoj91ymxz got back into my running. Used to do quite a bit with a local group. Stay off my phone for long periods, and get outside more. It feels great not gambling but the first few weeks are the hardest.

@mastersd123 Ah this is good to hear! Im going to try this! I said to myself yesterday thats it stop and I joined this website and then this morning I gambled a load of monies and was soo annoyed! Ive now downloaded Gamban! Just so annoyed, Im meant to be moving in August but now I dont have my savings and Im not sure what to do!! But, stopping is number one!

@kaoj91ymxz get yourself on gamstop too, and put a 5 yr exclusion on websites. I've been lucky in a way that my latest gambling has been in a shop as mobile gambling is certainly the easiest way to throw it all away. You don't see the cash being spent online so it's much more dangerous.

@mastersd123 Yeah i've been on it for a while but I joined websites that weren't apart of it! But, i've now got gamban! How do you stop thinking about finances as I keep crying at what I've spent.

@kaoj91ymxz set yourself short term goals and slowly rebuild. Make sure you get sleep as I'm certain that the lack of it is my main trigger as your head starts to wander.

Thanks for that! I think im thinking toooo much ahead!! Do you go to any meetings?

@kaoj91ymxz yeah I did, but only problem is that they were on a Monday night and I've something on that night. I find reading through the forums helpful. It was surprising how many people are in the same boat
