What a great post and extremely important
About a month ago I was getting excited for the world cup but then thought how is it going to be this time. I've probably had multiple bets before the last 11 world cups and on each match during it. I was thinking with Royal Ascot coming up would it be triggering. When ever a potential event for a trigger is on the horizon I try to put some normal thinking behind it. I know I can reach out if I struggle but I can also rely on the fact that I've been through several racing festivals this year without watching or betting. In terms of football, I've watched many matches since I stopped gambling and I enjoy them more now
Affected by gambling?
