Hi David,
Just to back up what’s already been said by Happy & Charles.
You need to do everything you can to make that next bet as hard to place as possible. I thought I was making a concerted effort to stop gambling a few weeks ago and didn’t fully explore all the steps I could have taken to make that next bet near on impossible to place. Blocking software and placing cash out of your reach are great ways to start. I’ve just installed the K9 blocking software and limited the cash I have access to. The K9 software is free and what I did was customise the settings to suit and once I knew my computer was running how I wanted it, I disposed of the password which was a jumbled up combination of letters and numbers. Make the password so random so that you can’t remember it, or ask someone else to set the password for you. I’m on my own so had no one to give my password to.
Good luck and it’s fantastic that you have recognised this issue and tackling this at such a young age, you’ve obviously got a wise head on young shoulders.
All the best,
Charlster.
