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.

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.
