Hi JP,

W£ell done on looking for help.

OK so barriers first. Close your crypto accounts, cash in any crypto currency you might have in them. Now make yourself accountable for your other “real” £ currency accounts. Who could help you with this? Then, when you do get paid, who could you be accountable to? I know when i first stopped I had bank statements sent to a relatives address – these days with online banking we can be instantly accountable.

You accept that this is an addiction which is a good start. You have lots of support available – here, other sites, gamcare offer free counselling in the UK, places like Gamblers Anonymous, even residential support.

The biggest advice i can give you is to use that support, now to help you stop gambling and then moving forward to help you maintain recovery.

Keep posting and let us know the positive steps you are taking.
