I found myself a bar for a friends birthday and the Champions league was on. I found myself making mental predictions all of which came true. In my experience this has happened any time I tried to lay off gambling. I don’t bet when I’m accurate. I keep reminding myself i would have eventually lost those winnings too so they wouldn’t have benefited me. I’ve self excluded from every bookie I joined online. Online is shay killed me really. I didn’t treat the money like it was real. If I’m honest I don’t know whether I’d have crumbled had I been able too though but here we are on day thre. I’m feeling determined and will check out the blocking software when I’m more financially afloat. This month will be a challenge.

I really appreciate the advice.

I feel like in order to achieve this I need to give up on sports all together which is a shame. Now there are too many negative associations there. I struggle to watch a game without thinking about betting on it. I’d love to be able to go back to antime when I watched sport simple for a love of it but wishing won’t make it so. I’ve been trying to keep my mind occupied. Taking myself to the gym and not having empty space in my days. Making sure my brain is always occupied. I think the forum will be an immense help with that.

Thank you for the advice and the warm welcome. Let day 2 commence…
