Hi MGE,
Welcome to Gamcare,
First step of admitting that you cannot stop and are powerless over this addiction have been made, so well done. Keep taking it one day at a time, self exclude from the sites, get blocking software on (k9 is free), hand over your finances to someone you trust at least for the time being, keep yourself busy for when urges strikes and keep being honest with yourself and everyone around you. You can read many stories on here, we all relate to one thing or the other. Keep learning and making changes. It is possible to arrest this addiction, you really need to want it. It's not easy road but staying in recovery will gift you your life back.
Keep posting and taking it day at a time, you're not alone in this.
Take care

Day 2 no gambling
Just getting ready to work. But my mind is thinking I need to play to recover the money what I lose. I know is a mistake thinking to go back to play!!!!
You might need more help than just reading a few posts every now and again MGE?
Give gamcare a ring? Consider counselling or something like GA
