Today I have taken the decision to deal with my problem. I have been referred for counsellng through Netline and I have told my son that I have been gambling and that I am getting help. I just don't want to live like this anymore. I have tried to just stop and self exclude from online sites etc., but so far none of this has worked. I am not sure how much I have gambled, until this month it wasn't really impacting on me, but now I have gambled about 1,200 this month and have no money left. I don't really know how I am going to get from A to B, but I am going to try and get there
Hi Snow I’m not really far enough along being gf to advise much but I can suggest blocking software, self excluding and posting on here. That’s all really helped me and it’s very early days for me yet. Best of wishes Lulu x
Thank you Lulu. I've self excluded and I am looking at blocking software. I put K9 on my phone but it didn't work. I think posting on here will help as I think I have been in denial and this makes it real. I wish you all the best .
That's good to see that number 1 today. I am not going to gamble today either, so I am looking forward to seeing number 2 tomorrow.

Good to see Number 2 today. I am not going to gamble today. Looking forward to seeing number three tomorrow.
Hi snow, Well done on seeking help. I would suggest purchasing Gamban on your mobile phone, it costs around £10 for a year and I've found it excellent! K9 web protection is good for the laptop though and any other device.
All the best on your progress.
Thanks for your support Jayden. I am 3 days today. I am not going to gamble today, either.

Thank you Tara. It was and I have my first face to face in the week. I hope you are doing ok.
8 days today. I didn't check in yesterday, but I made a week. I will not gamble today either.
Good to see the 9. Had a few feelings of wanting to bet, but managed not to give in, so quite pleased about that. Anyone feeling the same, hold on, we can overcome.
