New me? Right?

I didn’t know about sense.  I’ll look it up xxxxx

Hi BOO 

If you go to the self help section at the top of the page , click on and scroll down to self exclusion ,then onto the self exclusion for casino's there's a link to take you to their website . 

All the best :)) 

Thank you very much x

Well done ?

Wow boo 

that takes some control and you should absolutely  feel so proud of walking away. This is the first step to realising you can do this. Like others have said go in and exclude from being allowed in, this is going to stop you if the urge ever comes back and you can’t turn around. 

Keep that feeling of what it felt like to go home with nothin lost and hold onto it. There will so many days like this to rejoice whilst not gambling 

go you ?

So,

my first post was one of misery like everyone else.  You’ve had enough of loosing or winning a little then loosing ALOT! Ten years of abusing my finances, my self worth and my sanity.  Enough was enough! 

In 15 days I’ve gone from miserable to less miserable! I’ve gone to walk to casino and turned round half way. Thanks to users on here who directed me to sense who I’m now registered with and gamstop.  

15 days feels like 15 years.  I’d rather have something and be skint than have nothing and be skint.

gambling almost ruined my life.

join sense exclusion from all UK casinos!!! I have makes it easier

I have 🙂 I’m in such a good place mentally.  I never thought quitting would give me such a boost.  I know it’s only been two weeks and it’s a long road but those two weeks have been the best out of 10 years of misery!

Keep going Boo!

you've done amazingly well! I have decided when I reach my one month mark in 8 days I’m going to celebrate ? and then keep focused and holding onto my one day at time. 

I have had an awful come down from stopping gambling, but feel a little now that I am rising up again. 

The name of the game is never be complacent, keep focused, and keep surrounding yourself with invaluable support and wise words on here. 

I don’t know what I would have done without gamcare and Gamstop.

heres to another 15 days for you GF! Well done ??

Well done dude. I had a beer and broke yesterday. Fruit machine followed by online session. Im very annoyed with myself. Back on day 1 again. 

So.... emotional trigger at work and I can feel it building to point I'm gonna explode.  24 days in and trying to not obliterate my bank balance 

Stay strong Boo, it's hard but you can do this

It's getting worse....I've fought the urge for almost a day X 

Hi Boolooser56

I am sorry to read that you are struggling so much with the urge to gamble.  You recognise that your trigger is an emotional situation at work, and are able to see the link between this and the urge.  I am glad to read however that so far you have resisted the temptation to act on the urge - the more you do this, the more evidence you'll have of your resilience.  

Although it is difficult, please don't be alone with this and keep posting on the forum.  If you need to chat about things please do contact us either on live chat or our free HelpLine 0808 8020 133.  We can offer practical advice and emotional support, and free treatment if this would be suitable.  

Kind regards,
