Gamblock has a download for mobile.the price is $50 USD, Maybe well worth it as u could lose much more than this in one gambling session. I have also read that can contact your service provider and have a parental control to block gaming sites.– 2/11/2013 3:54:29 AM: post edited by I won a new life.

Hi LL, U have taken the first important step to recovery, The online habit is tough to break. Yes ban/selfexclude for all any casinos you have played at and remove the software from your computer. Disable any method of payment u have been using so you can’t deposit. Install betfilter on your computer(link is on this page)-this will block betting groups. Talk to a finacial advisor at your bank to set up a payment plan to repay your debts (an afordable one so u can still live with your daily expences). I would also suggest setting up a new email because u will get tonnes of spam from the casinos. If u feel it is necessary cut your internet. I haven’t went myself but is highly rec. to get a private consuler/theropist. We are not only addicted to online gaming but the internet itself. make a list of things you like to do besides gambling and take a picture of your child, put it by your computer and write on the back please don’t gamble mommy just for today not one bet. If you get an urge shut your computer off, check your list and go for a walk or something. I am/was also addicted to slots, the problem is when we win we play the money back, and with the house edge there is just never a profitable outcome, every deposit will be lost. Don’t make the mistake I did of going back- I quit for a week- binge for a cupple hours. Our habits need to be changed. Read some of the posts in the friends and family form- this can be painfull, but a good reminder of the pain gambling not only causes us but our familys also. It will take some time for our brains to rewire, so set a goal of 30 days bet free life. God Bless LL. Today I will not gamble not one bet. One day at a time.

Note to self- my first post here was Jan. 20-the day I decided I needed to Quit gambling- scince then I have lost $1150 to gambling- If I had of quit like I wanted to, I would have that money. What if my car breaks down? What if I need money for my kids? What if- There is no what if when I don’t gamble, recovery is my priority I’m done.

Thank you R2C, unfortunatly I have a new clean date today. I found a hole in my barriors resulting in a $400 loss. I am not going into details, but I proptly banned/self excluded as I know I am just putting myself through this vicious cycle. It’s at the point now where I knew as I said in previous post "unfortuantly I can gamble if I want too" I knew there was a hole and all it took was a moment of weakness to make the first innocent deposit to chase losses again. ouch. With that being said. I know barriors are important and the hole has been sealed. As I siad no details because it would be like a guide of how to gamble when u have barriors up. The bottom line is it hurt again, but I’m not going to beat myself up. I could have took a 10k line of credit to gamble with but i was smart enough to turn it down. Now back in the saddle, I’m not going to post 1 day free ect. I’m setting a goal of 30 day’s and I’ll post when I’m there. Whishing everyone the best. God bless.

Hi Debbi, I have betfilter for a blocker, I do not attend GA. I Have a cupple close friends I can confide in for support. Truth be told, If I wanted to gambel I could, unfortunatly there are to many ways for the greedy casinos and betting companys to get their hands on your funds. In my case, I need my bank account to pay bills, cash checks ect. I think back every time I get an urge how many ***** I have wanted to play with $20 "just for fun". The problem is I lose this and chase my losses. I have countless ***** deposited like this-$20,$50,$100,$200,$500,$1000. Then I reailize the casino isn’t paying out or it isn’t my lucky day, resulsting in a loss of almost $2000. Reafimming the fact that 1 bet is too many and 1000 isn’t enough. I am a compulsive gambler free for one week, I have money and I will not gambel not 1 bet.

Hi Larry, Thank you for your inspirational posts. I am early in my recovery, last bet Feb. 1. One day at a time I am embracing the freedom of a gambel free life.

Nothing just happens as there is always a driving force that makes it happen. This statement is true for everyone. Your gains and your losses are all outcomes of your deeds and decisions therefore there is absolutely nothing that happens by itself. Whatever is happening around you is one way or another related to your thoughts and action so if anyone considers that something just happens must free them from this notion. It is you who make things happen and your choices and decisions that influence the situations around you.

Hi my name is "I won" I am a compusive gambler and I am 6 days free, My head has been spinning today like my gambling life is flashng before my eyes, I had a bad day-but I did not bet. I wanted to, it was a strong urge. I kept stopping and thinking. I find it important in the early stages to keep reminding myself of the deep emotional pain gambing has caused me and the freedom I have without it. Wishing everyone the best. I pledge not to make one bet.

I’m glad yor back ready2change. I had a bad slip last week also, It was a costly slip, but im now even more determined to do what I came to this site for. I’m actually excited about it, changing habits and urges will come in time. give yourself the time. I’m thinking of this as a guaranteed payout, freedome. I was low and you posted on my thread. It meant a lot to me that u cared. If it means putting up more barriors-do it. If u have someone you can trust to hold your money- let them. You’ll be thankfull when u need it. wishing u the best mate, 1 day at at a time.

All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs. So how do we change? The most effective way is to get your brain to associate massive pain to the old belief. You must feel deep in your gut that not only has this belief cost you pain in the past, but it’s costing you in the present and, ultimately, can only bring you pain in the future. Then you must associate tremendous pleasure to the idea of adopting a new, empowering belief.

***** all, I have taken much inspiration from Larrys post’s- he is like a mentor of gambeling recovery. My name is "I won" I am a compusive gambeler. I made my last bet Feb. 1. I am 2 days free. I was just thinking back about a year ago, I decided I’m gonna go big, I’m a High Roller. One Sunday I logged on to my pc, opened one of my favorite casino accounts. My plan was to turn $250 into $1000 with 2 hands of blackjack-I just had to win them both. So I went to the live dealer, placed my bet $250- the cards were for me 14 the dealer 15, so sick I had to hit, I drew a 6 giving me a total of 20- at this point I’m feeling pretty good about my result. Dealer hit’s draws another 6 giving him 21-so sick I lost. I told my friend about it later that day- he said whats wrong with you? I said IDK I guess I’m lucky I didn’t make to the $500 bet. Another reminder to me how It’s just a big waste of money. I’ve setteled my debts- I pledge not to make one bet.
