I'm single, too much time on my hands, gambling too easy to access, I have gamblock on my phone but now I go out my way to find ways around the software and you wont believe me when I say but I've found ways around it and now I can still gamble with gamblock on my phone, I'm self excluded from so so many sites that the ones I now find I can sign up to are absolutely terrible yet I still find myself depositing money in to them, I think I'm more addicted now to finding a casino im not excluded from than I am gambling, but then when I find one I deposit, I lose, I exclude, then a week or so later I'm back on the case looking for a new casino. I hate my life, I hate who I am and most of all I hate gambling. How will this end?? Odds ain't looking good

Hi Sidney

Are you ready to stop gambling? Because if you are there is a whole world out there waiting for you to enjoy. It has always been there but cannot be experienced while you are gambling in the manner you are, believe me, I know as I have been in the same cycle (and recently relapsed). What will help greatly is putting in more mechanisms for you to sotp, is there someone you trust that can look after your finances whilst you start your journey? This will help greatly and prevent you from gambling significant amounts. Long term the aim is to realise that you do not need gambling, and therefore you do not need to do it as it adds nothing to your life. Your money would be better spent socialising and going out and enjoying your life.

You can do this Sidney! Give yourself a small aim to start with say a week gf, then set another target and another. I am on day 3 gf so perhaps you could join me?

Athena

Hi athena, unfortunately my family and close friends stay a small distance away so at this moment in time there is no one who can take my finances. I recently done around 4 months gamble free and it felt great I thought I had beat it but ohhh his wrong was I, once I started again it was like I was on a mission to spend as much as I could and gamble as often as I could. I really want to stop but whether I'm capable of doing it on my own in not sure. I need to prove to myself once and for all that I can do this and put 30 years of gambling behind me and finally start living. I'm a gambling addict and today is my first day to remain gamble free. Let's do this together athena and hopefully we can rack the days up.

Day 2 nearly done, not gambled today, I finish early tomorrow then off out to watch the football so tomorrow should be an easy no gambling day. I'm doing this one day at a time and hopefully those days will keep racking up.
