Finally enough is enough i will beat this horrible addiction. I have tried before and failed but every day life gives you another chance to rectify your errors and that's exactly what I'm going to do. I've been gambling since i was 18 I'm 20 this month and i dread to think what's going to happen if i don't stop makes me physically sick. I can't just put a Saturday football acca like the majority so i have to stop all together. I've self excluded from online bookies and i hope all the support from you wonderful people. Who really know how this horrible addiction can ruin your life. So Friday the 8th December a new chapter of my life, I'm too young for this addiction to scar me for life.
Keep it up Yorkshirelad!I am the same,i jst want to stop this horrible and disgusting gambling habbit.You're still so young and you can still easily change your paths in life.Ive been gambling for nearly 12 years now and jst made my life miserable in depths and depression.I started with small amount of stake until it gets bigger and bigger til got no control of my addiction.Since i started gambling i never really appreciated the value of money anymore.Every payday the first thing on my mind was to go straight online and play slot games.I had some big winnings which tempted me more to play and never contented until i have lost it all over again and gamble more money to chase my losses.Many times i'd lost my monthly wages and never thought what will happen tomorrow to pay my bills and everyday living.It just happened to me again jst recently until i woke up the following day asking myself what i have done again?I dont want this kind of life anymore.Same thing happens again and again so i decided to join GC.Reading all the comments here makes me more motivated that gambling is jst makes our life miserable,depress and in depths.This is only my 3rd day of gambling free and i am so motivated to stay away of it.I want to start a better way of living for being a gamble free for 2018 and to be contented what ive got with my family and friends who always supports me in my rock bottom times.
Had a very hectic weekend, that hectic I forgot i created this thread so i will start now. Just woke up the start of day 1 looking forward to what the future holds!
Good luck on your journey. Mine is in a similar place early days. Stay strong.

Yes very early days, we will have some easy days and some real tests.
Thanks,yes still early days.I will keep fighting my demons and think in positive ways whatever situation i am just now.
1st day GF done and dusted. Can't say it was easy!! Caught myself looking at the tennis scores for about an hour on people id never heard of and pretending to bet in my head, i lost anyway so, luckily i have all the blocks in place so that if i wanted to it wouldn't be possible. Not all days will be like this but I'm happy i didn't gamble today. Onwards and upwards.
Well done,its my 5th day of gambling free.Never even look for any sports betting or casino sites this past days.It helps to avoid the temptation.
