Yesterday was my last gamble

Thanks for commenting Emily, can the blocker be removed? As I really wouldn't trust myself to leave it on the laptop when I'm in desperate mode. Will definitely look into this though!!

Why are you even on here if that's your thought process? We're all on here because we want to stop gambling. Probably the strangest thing I've read on here.

Brandon, I read stopbeingaloser's post to mean that he needed to ensure that it couldn't be removed when he was desperate! It is so easy for the written word to be misinterpreted at times, maybe we all need to assume the best when we are reading. SBAL I don't know how Gamban works, but I guess there could be a passcode involved; you could either get someone else to set it up, or type in a random number, copy and paste to confirm and then delete it, so you have no way of taking it off.

Ah I apologise, I've read that wrong. Sorry.

Hi stopbeingaloser

I'm looking at blockers now, my plan is to install and let my wife put in a password and if i cannot gain access to something i need outside of gambling she can put her password in and monitor. I've read that some of the software can interupt other things you may want to see/read/buy etc. So thats the plan for me. Maybe this may work for you too.

Welcome , the best way to prevent any further issues is to simply close & ask for self exclusions from all your betting accounts , a very simple process which means you lose the ability to gamble on the roulette and better than any blocker.

Yes Brandon, that's what I meant haha, of course I want to stop - more than anything!!

On that note, day 2 and I am going strong. Although that is probably because I don't have very much money right now, the real test will be when I get some.

Day 3 and not a gamble for me, never want to see that black and red wheel again. I only have £10 to my name until Monday :

Day 5 and no gambling!! I am in such a bad financial situation right now but I know if I am as frugal as possible for a couple of months, it will soon be fixed. However i'm so tempted to just win a couple of hundred on the roulette wheel to help me out. We all now i won't win though because I'll never stop. Must stay strong!

Well done mate as with seeing the red and black wheel, I used to play the fobts, and any sort of noise to me related too one of games!

It will get easier mate might take time it's like fighting the toughest man you know and trying to win.

Problem being is that man is in your head and it's you! So just kick him in nuts if you feel like your loosing the battle! You can do it pal

Day 7 and GF. Have funds in my account today though and the temptation is so strong.

I actually logged into an account I knew was still active and hovered over "deposit". I fought the urge though and instead started live chat and promptly self excluded.

Thanks for the support everyone, it means so much!

Evening mate

I didnt want to call you by your username because your not a loser, your just like the right of us in that we have fell into a billion pound industry designed to keep you playing.

Just want to say congratulations on not depositing and instead self exlcuding, thats a massive show of comittment and I cant imagine it was easy.

I look forward to reading more of your posts.

All the best mate
