79 days without gambling and then I go online and spend all my Christmas money on the slots! There’s no happy ending in gambling and it just affects everything else in your life. I know this so why do I keep doing it?! Just let myself down every time. Back to square one again now. I hope I have the will power to go longer or stop altogether.

Yes it’s terrible I lost over £750 this weekend and now I’m really pushing to stop gambling it’s a horrible circle of winning back your loses to lose again it doesn’t end you don’t gain anything from gambling just loss and anger !

Vicious circle like you say mate. I do find coming on here helps though. I think maybe coming on here more often and chatting with folk may be the key

Hi it’s a horrible addiction and I find having money makes it harder! The best I feel is when I haven’t had a bet and have just about enough money (cr card available) to last the month. My mind is best settled.

if I have a bonus or spare cash my mind races! Then ending (if not immediately) is always the same!

i have online blocks saved me lots of time - best thing!

How do you get online blocks?? I’ve joined gamstop but they don’t cover sites out of the uk. Got that other one with the vpn but I can just turn it off. Even spoke to my bank and they don’t do anything. Think only option I do have is swapping to a bank that blocks transactions

Switch your bank Celse, there are a few out there now that can block gambling transactions Is it Gamban that you have for blocking? I have found it pretty indestructible tbh on android and iOS.
