Hi All,
First time on here.....completion of day 5 today. Urges are there but fighting the beast.
Hello,
Welcome to the forum. Well done on 5 days GF but keep in mind this addiction is tough and you need to help yourself out with strongs blocks if you REALLY want to stop. Check out the board below to read what you can (and should) be doing to give yourself every chance of overcoming this addiction.

Keep using the forum, it helped me a lot and continues to remind me of where i was, where i am and where im going.
All the best.
Cheers SJW will take a look
Have banned myself from all local bookies through self exclusion landline (I advise this strongly to anyone taking on the battle). .For me, this has been the singular best phone number I've put in my phone.....Regarding online sites, I've self excluded from pretty much every UK site (bar one - yeah, I know, if I'm serious this should go also, but I really enjoy the fantasy football!) so the blockers are pretty much in place....
Day 16 Complete with 2 pounds spent. Staying strong. Long way to go.
Keep it going mate, its a never ending war and every day you don’t bet is another battle won. Good luck. Guard Up, Bobbyj/ rainman
