Hi, Jonny soz m8 didn’t mean to offend you if I did that is. I was just trying to say without patronising anyone that I really have felt a withdrawal type effect a bit like when you stop smoking which I have also done on Xmas day I thought why bother waiting until New Years day just stop now init. Anyway, I really have craved gambling bad and it’s made me very mardy that I haven’t done it even before I stopped smoking so I knew it was from the gambling. I joined the gym to try and take my mind off it, the gambling, the smoking and the extra time all in one little package so let’s see how long I can keep that up. I still haven’t gambled I’m on day 70 now I think which is very good. Keep up the good work everyone it can be done it is not an easy thing but you can do it Here are a couple of tips: I went to the National Problem Gambling Clinic in London paid for by the NHS which was amazing! I self-excluded from all the local bookies in my town and in the city closest to me so I just cannot go in them at the moment, a massive weight off my shoulders!! I have also self-excluded from 98% f the land based Casinos in the Country using the Sense self-exclusion system so I basically cannot go into any casinos ye ha! I really wanted to stop and these small things all added together really make that difference. I have also systematically opened then self-excluded from as many internet Casinos I possibly could to the point I couldn’t find anymore that I would ever trust to play on so that’s the end of that for the moment. I know you can always gamble but putting these blocks in place really has worked for me. It might be worth a try it may help someone in their battle to beat this horrible disease.
Stay strong and never give up trying to give up!
