Hi Nick I have the will-power of a newt and I am gamble free currently thanks to betfilter on my phone . It is quite complicated to set up – because you have to block every site that can possibly allow internet access . For example after I installed it I discovered I could gamble on my Pinterest app. (Will power of newt does not apply to finding a way to gamble ). Nick , I could not rmanage without my smartphone – I need access to emails , to viber , to Facebook etc . My social life , family life and work life depends on these . I have betfilter – is my phone as good as it was ? No! Is it still functional as an iPhone – yes ! Have I gambled this year – No! Have I tried – yes four hours sometimes but could not get past the filter. The planned gambling may have contributed to your relapse -thisnis a journey however , and you have learned from this . No amount of lecturing could have taught you this lesson- with this addiction it seems that some lessons we just have to learn through experience – (that’s how it has been for me anyway ). Cash always works for me too as I do not visit casinos – . You are very honest with yourself Nick – you are self aware – and I have no doubt that you will beat this addiction . Well done on your honest post . Keep posting !
