Hi all ive been on and off gambling for years gamstop the online self exclusion has really helped me recently to abstain although i now know after my thired relapse that abstaining is not enough for me and i need to achive in life but not put a high ezspectation of myself due to finacial gain in any way … They say u should learn after a relapse and this one has certainly had that effect, anyway day 2 lets hope i can look back in 333 days and go a full year this time gonna put some tough barriers in place this time to try and protect me abit when im weak as gamstop isnt enough… Darn self exclusion system failed i am disputing but its meant to help people not allow people on sites. Gambling makes me sick now i need to focus on other crap in life and remember the positive stuff no more negative trauma please.

Peace out will write more soon when i feel in better mood

I too “relapsed” last night and you are so right. I am in school and am trying to become a real estate agent and I cannot focus at all when I gambling. I haven’t actually wasted a ton of money doing it but I want so badly to just focus on life itself. YOU CAN DO IT! Find other things that take your attention, positive things.
