Hi,
I am horribly addicted to FOBT's. They have controlled my life for too long and I have lost thousands.
Today is day 3 bet free. But that doesn't mean too much as with parental responsibilities over the weekend, most of my gambling is done in the week.
So Friday was a good day, a huge 5 days coming up.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Any comments or insight is appreciated.
Cheers
Phil
Hi Phil
Well done for finding your way here , this site can help you.
I my self have a gambling addiction and I am on day 3 , I would advise you self exclude from your betting accounts and self exclude from betting shops ,this is awesome as you can no longer bet and blocked for 12 months.
You need to do something radical like this as just saying you will stop is very hard as temptation is around all the time.
3 days without gambling is good , it proves you can do it when you have things on your mind , maybe join a gym or something like that and get addicted to fitness ... Something positive.
You can do it Phil , keep your chin up and message any time you need help
Kind regards Matt
Done, stayed clear gambling today, so the grand total of 4 days done!
Today was easy though as I was with colleagues throughout my lunch hour.
It's the time I have alone which is the problem. Over the last 4 gamble free days I have had no time alone.
Onto day 5 tomorrow.
