Hi kamkam,
Welcome to the forum and well done on taking a positive step admitting your problem, and looking for help.
You asked “Could you tell me what helped you?” 2 items that I found particularly useful when I first started trying to stop gambling was 1) Putting as many barriers in place as possible to make it difficult to gamble and 2) having someone else I trust manage finances for a while, In this scenario, you still maintain control over your money, and decide where it is spent, but any spending would have to go through this person first.
I also strongly recommended the new members groups Charles mentioned held on a Monday and Thursday, here you can speak with Charles who can provide further advice and recommendations.
Finally, I would say that when starting out not gambling, I found it helped to set some specific objectives/actions with a defined timeframe. For example, By this time next week I plan to 1) Write 3 Journal entries 2) Attend the new member’s group 3) Discuss with someone else having them help manage my finances, 4 Install GamBan on my phone and Laptop and 5) close all betting accounts permanently.
I hope this is helpful, I look forward to reading further updates.
