Hi Ray and welcome to the forum. I am sure that reading the other stories here you will be seeing a lot that you relate to. You will also be reading the success stories – what are they doing that you could apply to your own situation?
Who couold help you be accountable for finances? Where do you normally gamble – self exclusion is always a good first step.
You can make yourself accountable as well, post here daily/regularly and tell us about the positive steps you are taking.
I look forward to reading your progress and hopefully I will meet you in one of the groups here soon as well. keep posting.
Alliwg, the above suggestions pretty much apply to you as well, maybe start your own thread here and again you wil get a lot of feedback and advice.
If either of you still have problems using/navigating the site then please click on the one to one helpline when it is open.
Well done to both of you in starting to use support.
