I'm sat here about having a go on one of the bingo sites (haven't gone on them yet) oh god this is harder than I thought.
Call the helpline instead? Instead, not afterwards?
It's ok Cynical, I haven't been on ,just a blip.
Sure but maybe call anyway? Fighting internal battles with yourself with the time money location intact isn't to be recommended.
What brought the urge on?

Payday yesterday and it's become a habit or ritual to gamble the first week, force of habit or thinking 10 pounds won't hurt (I know it does and leads to more money being spent?)
Remember how chuffed you was this time last night when you didn't gamble on payday. Carry that thought over to today.
To put my sensible head on you said the blocks are in place maybe it's worth adding a few more blocks like blocking software or broadband restrictions and self excluding from the sites.
I'm sure it will pass but they will come back again so try and make it as hard as you can to place that 1st bet.

Well the feeling of gambling passed (urge not so bad in the day time)didn't give in,only go today and Thursday to go then on holiday, no Internet while i'm away, won't pay roaming prices plus stops me gambling m
Day 9 actually do Ok, the only thing that's getting me down is I have had mail,emails and even texts inviting me to gamble,one even offering me a free 10 Pounds. ..crazy,how the hell is a recovering CG suppose recover with out being bombarded with gambling arrrhhhhhh! !!
On my jollies, no Internet ,no gambling for a week .yay!
Temptation I mean
Here I am on my jollies, last night could have had a game of bingo,but didn't no gambling means no gambling, I'm writing this all down as little victory,plus actually got some money too
Day 26...bk off jollies feeling Ok, no gambling, trying to keep too busy for that, had a bit of a wobble last night but Ok now.
Had the urge to gamble tonight (not really been to bad until tonight )so I 45 mins of Zumba instead, it's done the trick too pooped to want to do it now...urge gone.
I'm afraid the gambling demon is lurking in my head tonight ,not sure what to do at the moment. .finding it hard tonight.
Nothing to gain in having a bet. What would you do if you won? Cash out go but something nice No you'd just carry on till it was gone and then deposit more to chase what you lost.
Do I need to come down to Chad and give your head a wobble.
