Hi FosterJamie, well doen on looking for help.
Poker is certainly gambling, it doesn’t matter how much “skill” is involved – the addiction outweighs it.
Read the other stories here, you will see a lot that you will relate to. You will also see the success stories – what are they doing that you can apply to your own situation?
Is your gambling online? Get yourself banned from your usual sites, get a blcker so that you can’t sign up to any others. If your work pattern is usually like that then plan for your next week off, what else can you do in your spare time?
If your aim is to save money while here then open the sort of bank savigns account where you dont have easy, instant access to it. Make it harder to place that first, next bet.
Keep posting, let us kow the positive steps you are taking.
