Day 12

Hello,

Well done on your progress so far. This is a real achievement, don’t underestimate the value in 12 days for yourself. 

I am 1 year and 1 day GF now and I still remain incredibly grateful for GamBan from all sites, particularly when urges kick in.

From where I am sat, it does get easier. It requires consistency in good choices, and being open to getting help/support (I had counselling from GamCare and it was totally the best thing!).

Hello,

Well done on your progress so far. This is a real achievement, don’t underestimate the value in 12 days for yourself. 

I am 1 year and 1 day GF now and I still remain incredibly grateful for GamBan from all sites, particularly when urges kick in.

From where I am sat, it does get easier. It requires consistency in good choices, and being open to getting help/support (I had counselling from GamCare and it was totally the best thing!).

I will be where you are in 5 months time! A post that could not be more true and wish that I had a counsellor 8 years ago where I could have saved tens of thousands! Instead I had my counselling sessions September just gone and like you, my mindset has shifted completely to not gambling.

I am on here to help the likes of Dave208 and tell them it does get easier - just be sure that you 100% want to stop. I had urges like you and caved in so many times in the past. Effortlessly go 2 weeks without gambling and then in one stupid crazy weekend be chasing losses thinking what have i done!. Then on a Sunday night I’d be getting ready for work, waiting on several replies on my whatsapp from people I hadnt spoke to in a while asking for money. A lot of money. 

Truth be told I could not carry on like that and I’m sure that u don’t want to go back to that place. Major difference for the success of my recovery was counselling through GamCare, it’s changed my life, highly encourage it!
