I really want to fully stop gambling... I have been gambling for 35 years ... I used to gambling on everything stopped for a year then lost pretty much every thing nearly went to prison... then thought it was OK to gamble as long as it was only my money and my excess money... with the explosion of online slots these sites have taken over.. in every other aspect of my life I'm quite successful but I just can't deal with money... I feel quite alone in my addiction as my family knew about it years ago and feel that I've beaten it and can't discuss as they don't understand... my partner has a good idea there is a problem but doesn't really want to admit it and neither do I want that discussion or life with her watching my every move. I'm confused and want a normal life
Hi Mark
You are in the right place. Have you put any blocks in place yet ? Gamstop can self exclude you from all online and physical bookmakers, sense from physical bookmakers. Then Gamban on your devices will block all gambling apps and sites. You can block gambling on your bank account.Â
Are you going to tell her as it's ideal to have her support behind you and maybe either look after your money or watch over your bank account ?
I gambled for 44 years. First thing I stopped my ability to gamble and then worked on not wanting to gamble. It's worth coming to the chatrooms on here at 8pm and also speak to the advisors either on the phone or live chat 24/7
