Hi Krystanley
I am also a single mum facing this addiction.. it is good that you have come here, you will find some wonderful friends across the globe, there are many things we can do to help ourselves not to gamble.. it takes perserverance but the main thing i would say to you is keep coming back here no matter what, never give up trying! The fact you are here says it all, you have taken a brave first step.. well done.. keep posting and reading, try to carry little cash on you or cards it certainly helps if you have no money to gamble on you.. try to just look at not gambling one day at a time. Just for today dont gamble, just get through each hour doing something else and remember if you have urges, they will pass.. they dont hang around forever.. eventually they fade and you realize you can get through.. Small steps, keep posting. You are not alone in this, you can have a gamble free life, it is waiting for you
