Hi Wasey, well done on looking for help.

Read the other stories here – you will see a lot that you will relate to. You will also see the success stories and the sorts of things that have helped others stop gambling. You can apply them to your own situation.

You wil read how barriers can help. Where do you normally gamble? Get yourself excluded. How do you fund that gambling? Put things in place so that you can’t instantly access your money when you have an urge. Make yourself accountable – your fiancee could help with that. If you are saving for a house then at least that money can be in an account that you don’t have access to.

Barriers aren’t the total answer to addiction of course, but they beat the hell out of willpower alone.

Occupying your time is important. Plan your time so oyou don’t have those bored moments.

The most important thing is to use support; keep posting here, check out your local GA meeting.

Keep posting and let us know the positive steps that you are taking.
