Hi CraigMac
I read your posts. I feel a similar way that it is very hard to let go for sure, but we must otherwise gambling will drag us further down.
We must recognise the triggers, try and deal with them in other ways. Try and find positive distractions to stop your thoughts leading to gambling.
The things I have found most useful so far are putting a gambling block on my phone, excluding myself from bookmaker shops and I have also blocked my bank card from gambling transactions. So if I have an urge there is a barrier to stop me.
Getting on the chat rooms here helps sort your mindset out too.
Good luck buddy. Tell yourself you can do this.
