You are taking the right steps to stop gambling – you must remove access to the source of gambling for you. If it’s online like it was for me – close those accounts – you may also want to look for some applications you can get to block gambling sites from your internet browser. There are several out there – they vary in cost.
Keep posting on your forum thread – you may also want to post on other’s threads to provide support to them in their recovery.
Dealing with Compulsive Gambling isn’t something you can do alone or in isolation. Support from others is most important. Keep coming here as often as needed to not place that next bet… you keep doing that one day at a time… it only matters that you don’t gamble today – live in the moment not in the past or future.
Stay strong!
