Hello

I know your pain. I realised the same thing about a week ago. I am now one week without gambling, something I thought I would never do. There is still a long way to go but each small step counts. Excluding myself from online sites and installing betfilter really helped to curb my urges. Also talking to my family about the problem. On top of that particippating in the online chat groups are a real help for making you know that you are not alone.

I hope any of this advice helps.

Hello K

Thank you for your words of support and encouragement. This site is brilliant to hear that there are like minded people out there who have overcome their gambling demons.

I’m still managing to stay strong this weekend. It’s not been as easy as midweek but I’ve kept myself busy and after today it will be my first weekend and nearly full week without a bet for about 8 years.

I was thinking about giving my finances to a family member. Mainly the money that I have left over after bills. So that I could then make my money last.

Once again thank you for your words of encouragement and congratulations on the length of time you have so far completed. You’re an inspiration.

Hey Menez

Going through a similar problem with sports betting. I am really pleased to hear that you are feeling positive about stopping.

Similarly to you I have stopped now for a little under a week and hope to fight through the weekend as I know this will be a tough time for me considering the nature of my addiction. Seeing someone having a positive mindset like yourself gives me inspiration. I am going to to try to play more sports to combat the urges and keep myself busy.

Good luck buddy and stay strong. I look forward to hearing your developments at some point in the future.

Hello all. Thank you so much for your support it is really appreciated from people who are further along the road than myself. It’s been four days now and the urges although apparent are relatively easy to deal with at the moment. I suppose this weekend will be the big test as my addiction is sports based. However I am determined to have made it six days by Monday. I hope to chat to you all sometime soon.
