Hi Gareth, Well done on not gambling today. Planning your days will help you keep your time and thoughts occupied away from gambling.
There are 5 weeks or so between now and the when you go to Gordon House, between now and then use as much support as you can. Post here, get into the groups, maybe check out a GA meeing in your area as well.
What barriers can you put in place as well? How about getting yourself banned from where ever it is you normally gamble? Is there someone who could look after your money for you and/or make you accountable?
Keep posting, see you in a group again soon i hope.
