Hi all, I am starting my recovery journey today. I have gambled for the last time and I am determined to stop.
I have been using gambling to escape from ongoing stress in my personal life, but I have been spending too much time gambling as a release and I have now taken the step to quit.
I have installed GamBan and registered with GamStop. I have also self-excluded from all local bookmakers and arcades, in an effort to remove any temptation.
This is Day 0 of a lifetime without gambling.
Iām also on day one..Ā
itās going to be a long road to recovery but you can do it! You have already taken the first step.. now itās time to move forward.Ā

Today is day one for me. Gambling has almost ruined me but I am determined from today that I will win.Ā

Today is day one for me to. Enough is enough and I am not going to let this control me anymore. Good luck on all yours journeys and I am sure we can all do it together.Ā
Congratulations to everyone on here, youāve been chasing a big win, this is it. Be proud and forgive yourself . Enjoy getting your life backĀ
Well done and stay strong everyone 💪Ā

Completed Day 1 today. I had cash on me and drove further from my home, where I am not self-excluded, however I am absolutely determined to stop and didn't gamble.
Onwards and upwards.
