and I notice that you have commented on others’ threads – so I am assuming you have read around the site and know what you need to do.

Well you have taken the first step, by admitting to yourself and to us on the site that you have a problem with gambling.
The things you need to do are a) exclude yourself from places where you gamble (and might be tempted to gamble in the future.) b) carry the minimum amount of money you need for day to day life – in order to put a barrier between yourself and your next bet. c) Get as much support for yourself as possible – whether that be friends, family, self-help like GA or counselling. d) Find other ways to spend your time away from gambling – and in your case I would say away from sports, as watching a game – especially in the early days will probably be a trigger for you. Sports where you can test yourself will be fine though.
I look forwards to your next post.
