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.
I’m also on day one..Â
it’s going to be a long road to recovery but you can do it! You have already taken the first step.. now it’s time to move forward.Â
keep positiveÂ
Today is day one for me. Gambling has almost ruined me but I am determined from today that I will win.Â
stay positive both we can do thisÂ
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.Â
Congratulations to everyone on here, you’ve been chasing a big win, this is it. Be proud and forgive yourself . Enjoy getting your life backÂ
Well done and stay strong everyone 💪Â

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.
Day 2 completed. Not even the slightest urge at all. Totally focused.
Day 3 completed. The slightest urge today, due to how I'm feeling, however I didn't as I'm absolutely determined that I have quit!
Well done mate 👏 👏 Keep going you got this! 💪Â
Thank you very much Dazza!
Â
Day 4 and still going strong. Totally determined 🙌
Today is Day 6 👍 Super focused
1st week done. Feeling very focused
Still gamble-free 👌 I have the same determination that I did on Day 0 that I have quit gambling for good.Â
I've also taken up an old hobby again that I used to enjoy and is far more enjoyable/therapeutic 😃
I've got this 🥳🥳
Still going strong. Absolutely zero wish to gamble and actually feel annoyed at my past self for using it as a coping mechanism!
1st month done 💪
